Mini bio
How it started.
Klay came through Washington State before Golden State selected him 11th in the 2011 NBA draft. He was the highest draft pick in Cougars history. His father, Mychal Thompson, had been the first overall pick in 1978.
Finding his rhythm.
Alongside Stephen Curry, he became one half of the Splash Brothers. His first All-Star season in 2015 also brought his first championship. He went on to win four titles with Golden State, in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022.
Nights fans revisit.
His shooting highlights include a 37-point quarter against Sacramento, 60 points in 29 minutes against Indiana and a 14-three-pointer game in Chicago. Those performances are a good place to start if you want to see Klay find his rhythm.
The comeback and beyond.
He returned on January 9, 2022 after 941 days away, then helped Golden State win another title. After playing for Dallas from 2024 to 2026, he joined Miami in August 2026.
