Who is Klay Thompson?

Born Klay Alexander Thompson under the sign of Aquarius on the 8th of February 1990, in Los Angeles, California USA, Klay Thompson is a Latino-Caucasian 29-year-old professional basketball player in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is definitely best known to the world for his significant presence on the TV screen and across the media outlets as the shooting guard of the Golden State Warriors NBA team, which is the only team he’s played for professionally. He has had a high number of successes on the court over the course of his often lucrative NBA player career since 2011.

Who is Klay Thompson’s girlfriend today?

At the moment, the identity of Klay Thompson’s girlfriend is not familiar to the public – there is also no confirmed information regarding whether he’s in a relationship or not. However, Klay is rumored to be involved with “Godzilla vs. Kong” actress Eiza Gonzalez, due to a picture that was taken near the end of April 2019 at a restaurant in West Hollywood.

Who he dated?

As for his other romantic involvements, there is quite a bit of information about his love life, though most of it consists of unconfirmed speculation. YouTuber Hannah Stocking is the earliest known Klay Thompson girlfriend, from a relationship which started mid-2014 and ended in 2015, reportedly because Hannah found him cheating on her. He was later seen having dinner with basketball player Tiffany Suarez, but the two weren’t seen doing anything else, and therefore the rumors were dismissed.

In 2017, model Abigail Ratchford posted a picture of a bulldog that looked much like Klay’s on her Instagram story, and the fans immediately suspected there was something between the two. However, both of them denied involvement with each other. In 2018, Klay was thought to have dated Instagram model Carleen Henry, and months afterwards, he was photographed on multiple occasions with actress Laura Harrier; it is unknown how this relationship ended. According to the all of the available information, or the lack thereof, Klay Thompson’s girlfriend currently doesn’t exist.

Early Life and Education: Growing up in Oregon

Klay was initially raised in his birthplace by his former NBA player father Mychal Thompson, and his former volleyball player mother Julie Leslie. Age-wise, he is in between two brothers, the older being Mychel Thompson, who briefly played in the NBA for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the younger being Trayce Thompson, a Major League Baseball (MLB) player for the Cleveland Indians. At two years of age, Klay moved with his family to Lake Oswego in Oregon, where he eventually became childhood friends with future NBA player Kevin Love. When Klay was 14, his family moved once again, this time to Ladera Ranch in California.

When it comes to his earliest interests, there isn’t much information across authoritative sources that could clarify specifics about this part of his life, though he is believed to have harbored a passion for sports. As for his education, he first attended Santa Margarita Catholic High School, from where he matriculated in 2008. He then decided to further his studies by enrolling into Washington State University (WSU), where his love of basketball truly came to fruition. He remained there until his junior year in 2011, whereupon he entered the NBA draft. To this day, thanks to his early display of talent, he remains the third all-time leading scorer of WSU.

Career: A Promising Start

Thompson’s professional basketball career started in 2011, when he was selected as the 11th overall pick in the first round of the NBA draft by California’s Golden State Warriors. Even though his college basketball career made him seem like a promising athlete, he wasn’t selected by the NBA for the 2012 NBA All-Star Weekend Rising Stars Challenge.

Potentially pushed further by this development, Klay expressed higher skill over the course of the next four games after that decision. In the 2012-2013 season, he achieved his current career-high of 82 games started, with a current peak of 35.8 minutes per game. In the 2013-2014 season, he increased his career-high record of field goal percentage to .444, while in 2014-2015, he set a current career record for free throw percentage at .879, assists per game at 2.9, steals per game at 1.1, and blocks per game to .8, and so unsurprisingly signed a four-year contract with his team at the start of the season. This was also the first season in which he won an NBA Championship, against the Cleveland Cavaliers, which marked the first NBA Championship win for the Golden State Warriors since 1975.

2015-2016 and beyond

In the 2015-2016 season, Klay improved his career-high for field goal percentage to .470 and his points per game to 22.1, but broke it in the very next season, when he achieved his current personal record of 22.3. In Game 5 of the series against Houston Rockets during the 2016 NBA championship, he set an NBA record by becoming the first player to score at least seven three-pointers in consecutive play-off games. In the 2017 NBA Finals, Klay was instrumental to his team obtaining its second championship win over the course of three years, having bested the setup of Cleveland Cavaliers for a 4-1 victory. During the 2018 NBA Finals, he again boosted his team to victory, scoring 20 points in the second game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, after which the Warriors claimed a back-to-back championship wins. The Warriors run came to an end in June 2019 when they lost the NBA finals to the Toronto Raptors. Klay remains the main shooting guard of the Warriors, and has not expressed the wish to be transferred elsewhere. His full career stats can be found here.
