Klay Thompson is a professional basketball player who plays for the Dallas Mavericks in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was born on February 8, 1990, in Los Angeles, California. Klay comes from a family of athletes; his father Mychal Thompson played in the NBA. His two brothers are also involved in sports.

Klay's impressive abilities on the court are a testament to his prolonged success which comprises some unimaginable highs and some not-so-decent lows. Despite the injuries that have kept him off-court for prolonged periods, his ability to score at every chance he gets hasn't dwindled so far.

In this article we will look into some of Klay Thompson's most significant physical attributes, starting with his height.

Klay Thompson Height

The Warriors guard is 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 meters) tall. Thompson is known for being one of the best shooters in NBA history. What sets Klay apart from other players is his physical stature and elite skillset. His ability to score points consistently while simultaneously being defensively sound and grabbing rebounds makes him a total package not only on the offense but on defense as well.

Klay Thompson’s Other Physical Attributes

Klay Thompson Weight

Klay weighs around 220 pounds (99 kilograms). Despite easily weighing over 200 pounds, his quickness on the court is astounding.

One of Klay's key strengths is his speed and agility. He uses these attributes to move quickly up and down the court, making it difficult for defenders to keep up with him. Additionally, he has excellent hand-eye coordination. This allows him to catch passes and shoot accurately even when under pressure.

Strength and Endurance

Another important aspect of Thompson's game is his strength and endurance. As a shooting guard, he often faces stronger opponents but manages to hold his own due to his physicality built through years of training during offseasons.

Klay Thompson Wingspan

Klay Thompson's Wingspan is 6 feet and 9 inches, about three inches more than his height. Wingspan in the simplest of terms refers to the distance between a person's fingertips when their arms are outstretched horizontally. A 6 feet 9 inches wingspan gives Klay Thompson a decent defensive advantage over his opponents on the court and also allows him to secure rebounds at will without too much struggle.

Thompson’s all-around skills have made him one of the most successful players in NBA history. He has won four championships with the Golden State Warriors since joining them back in 2011.
