Klay Thompson has featured in four consecutive NBA Finals between 2015 and 2019. During this period, he has played in 27 games. He was crucial in the formation of the Golden State Warriors' dynasty in that period, as he helped them win three NBA Championships.

He scored 95 points in the 2015 NBA Finals (15.8) per game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, who the Warriors faced in four consecutive Finals. He was more efficient in 2016, averaging 19.8 points per game and tallying 137 points across seven matches. However, the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead and lost the NBA Finals that year.

It didn't take long for Klay and his team to get back to winning ways, though, as they claimed two back-to-back titles in 2017 and 2018. He averaged 16.4 points per game in 2017 and 16 in 2018, tallying 146 points in total.

His last NBA Finals appearance came in 2019 against the Toronto Raptors, which was his best so far at an individual level. He scored 130 points (26 per game) but unfortunately couldn't complete the series after an ACL injury ruled him out of Game 6 as the Warriors lost 2-4.

#2 Stephen Curry (741 Points - 28 NBA Finals games)

Klay Thompson's Golden State Warriors teammate Stephen Curry is one place above him with 741 NBA Finals points. Steph has featured in one game more than Thompson, though, as Klay missed Game 3 of the 2019 NBA Finals with a hamstring injury.

Curry was always a top-two player for the Golden State Warriors in each of their NBA Finals appearances. The point guard scored 156 points in the 2015 NBA Finals, 158 in 2016, 134 in 2017, 110 in 2018, and 183 in 2019. Surprisingly, he never won an NBA Finals MVP, though, with Andre Iguodala winning the accolade in 2015 and Kevin Durant bagging it in 2017 and 2018.

#1 LeBron James (1,562 points - 55 NBA Finals games)

LeBron James topping a record chart isn't something surprising. His record almost seems unbreakable at the moment. He has played 55 NBA Finals games throughout his career and scored 1562 points at a rate of 28.4 per game.

LeBron featured in 10 NBA Finals throughout his career. Five of them were with the Cleveland Cavaliers, four with the Miami Heat and one with the LA Lakers. He won the championship four times and claimed the NBA Finals MVP on each occasion.

He was the most efficient in the 2015 NBA Finals, averaging 35.8 points per game across six games against the Golden State Warriors.
