Klay Thompson, star of the Dallas Mavericks, shared his vision on the key factors necessary to win an NBA championship. Thompson emphasized the importance of depth and full commitment from the entire team to achieve success.

The Dallas Mavericks made significant moves in the offseason to improve their roster depth. The addition of Thompson and other players such as Quentin Grimes, Naji Marshall, and Spencer Dinwiddie will strengthen the team and position them as strong contenders for the title.

After reaching the NBA Finals last season, the Mavericks have high ambitions for the upcoming season. Thompson expressed confidence in the team’s ability to compete for the championship.

I’ve been lucky enough to be with championship teams,” Thompson said, according to ClutchPoints. “I probably realize more than anyone that it takes everybody to buy in. It’s not on one individual. It’s not on Luka (Doncic), it’s not on Kai (Kyrie Irving)… We can’t do it without them, they’re our best players. But the teams that have won championships in the past have great depth.”

“There are a lot of big dreams and aspirations with this team,” Thompson said. They were so close last year. I really feel we have everything we need. Obviously, we didn’t have our best performance tonight—two losses in the preseason—but that’s why it’s preseason. It’s to build, it’s to be ready for the regular season opener on October 24. It’s incredible, honestly. I was looking forward to this since free agency started.”
