Megan Thee Stallion has always been a huge fan of the NBA, often showing up courtside.

Not only does the hip hop superstar now have an NBA boyfriend when the "Savage" hitmaker surprised everyone with Klay Thompson showing up in one of her social media posts over the summer, but now the 30-year-old Grammy winner has a big brand partnership deal with an official league sponsor, dropping her first spot today with the season begins tonight.

Rocking a vintage-inspired 1946 NBA coat, the first year of the league's existence, the camera originally starts from behind Stallion, sitting in a director's chair, where a Dallas Mavericks jersey is draped over it.

The jersey has the name "Thee Stallion" stitched on the back with the number "95," presumably for her birth year, not from Stallion's maybe friend GloRilla's lyrics from the hit song "TGIF."

After some angst whether or not Stallion and Thompson, 35, were still together after their summer adventures when the four-time NBA champion and Golden State Warriors legend's had an awkward answer about their relationship during the preseason, the two put all of those concerns to bed with several posts hanging out in their usual lovey dovey nature.

Now Thompson will have to see if he can be an integral part of the new-look Mavericks with rookie sensation Cooper Flagg, while Stallion will certainly be by his side, showing up recently at his preseason game in Las Vegas sitting beside Thompson's mother, Julie, even though they were caught on-camera awkwardly not interacting with each other.

Shaq's six weeks was luckily proven very wrong, and now we get to enjoy their time together during the season, while Stallion also brings home a little more cash in the process.
