Klay Thompson as a Dallas Maverick

In The Atheltic’s newsletter this morning, they had the picture above headlining a story about the NBA’s media days starting yesterday. It was a comment on players in jerseys that you don’t associate them with. If you don’t know, the above is Klay Thompson, who spent many seasons (and championships) with the Golden State Warriors.

The author had a coffee table book in mind based on the comment of these players not in jerseys they are normally associated. Emmit Smith in an Arizona Cardinals jersey was mentioned. I had some others:

  • Tom Brady (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
  • Michael Jordan (Washington Wizards)
  • Greg Maddux (San Diego Padres)
  • Tom Glavine (New York Mets)
  • Babe Ruth (Boston Braves)
  • Joe Montana (Kansas City Chiefs)
  • Scottie Pippen (Portland Trailblazers)
  • Frank Thomas (Oakland Athletics)
