Turning 31 4 months ago, Klay Thompson averaged 19.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 11 seasons with the Golden State Warriors.

He has an index set of 45% FG – 41% 3PT – 86% FT, made 5 All-Star squads, 2 All-NBA squads and was once in the All-NBA Defensive Team. .

Collectively, nothing beats the four championship trophies that Thompson won with the Warriors, contributing greatly to creating a powerful “empire” that lasted nearly a decade in the NBA.

To recognize Klay Thompson’s special contributions to Golden State, the team’s leadership decided to permanently retire the number 11 shirt even though he is still playing. The retirement ceremony will take place in the future, expected immediately after Thompson retires.

“Klay Thompson’s legacy will live forever on this team. We are eagerly waiting for the day of his No. 11 jersey retirement ceremony at Chase Center,” the Golden State Warriors representative shared.

Coming to the Dallas Mavericks, Klay Thompson will bring his impressive 3-point shooting ability alongside Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic, two of the NBA’s top passers.

Although Thompson’s ability to play at high intensity has declined, experts say he will not have to do too many tasks in the Dallas squad.

Instead, Klay just needs to focus on long throws, taking advantage of shooting opportunities while helping stretch the opponent’s team so Kyrie – Luka can comfortably break through.
