Thompson played college basketball for three seasons at Washington State. He was a two-time first-team All-Pac-10 selection, now known as Pac-12. Afterward, he was picked in the first round of the 2011 NBA draft by Golden State with the 11th overall pick and was regarded as one of the best three-point shooters of all time. With the Warriors, he won the NBA championship four times, was named an NBA All-Star five times, and made the All-NBA Third Team three times.

Klay Thompson targets fourth all-time three-point list

Klay Thompson is entering his 15th NBA season, this time wearing the colors of the Dallas Mavericks. Thompson joined the Mavericks in July 2024 after 13 years with the Golden State Warriors.

The four-time NBA champion hopes to lead his new team to a stellar season and also chase a personal milestone. He is currently 108 three-pointers away from passing Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard for fourth on the all-time three-point list.

Lillard has been sidelined for the season due to an injury, which gives Thompson the opportunity to reach this milestone. The former Washington State men's basketball star already has 216 three-pointers in his first full season with Dallas. This means he is quite capable of surpassing Lillard's record.
