That officially ended his incredible run with the Warriors, which produced four championships over an eight-season span. The Warriors selected Thompson with the No. 11 overall pick in 2011 out of Washington State, and he quickly became both a fan favorite in the Bay Area and a critical part of the Warriors\u2019 dynasty alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green as other pieces came and went.<\/p>\n<p>Though he said he still cherishes the run he went on at Golden State to kick off his career in the league, Thompson is simply focused on putting it behind him for now.<\/p>\n<div class=\"caas-pull-quote-wrapper caas-img caas-lazy\" data-src=\"\">\n<blockquote class=\"caas-blockquote\">\n<p>\u201cThat chapter is over,\u201d Thompson told <a data-i13n=\"cpos:2;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/andscape.com\/features\/klay-thompson-theres-no-point-in-looking-back-at-golden-state-warriors-tenure\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Andscape\u2019s Marc J.

He shot worse than 40% from behind the arc for just the second time in his career, too. Thompson left the Warriors ranked sixth in total points scored in team history, fourth in games played and second to Stephen Curry in made 3-pointers. He also holds the NBA record with 14 made 3-pointers in a single game, which he set with the Warriors in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The 34-year-old entered Tuesday\u2019s game averaging 13.8 points and 3.7 rebounds with 2.9 made 3-pointers per game so far this season in Dallas.
