Who are Klay Thompson's sponsors? Finding out more

Klay Thompson is one of the most recognizable faces in today’s NBA. He is a four-time champion who plays for the Golden State Warriors. Thompson is the other half of the tandem popularly called the Splash Bros. along with longtime teammate Steph Curry.

Thompson is so popular that even when he was sidelined for two seasons due to an injury, he still signed a few more endorsements. Waiakea Water, Bevel and NERF were added to his list of sponsors.

Klay Thompson also counts Panini, Gillette, Body Armor, Tissot, Activision, Mercedes, Cash App, UberEats, Electronic Arts, Fantatics and Anta among his biggest sponsors. He signed a 10-year deal with the Chinese shoe brand reportedly worth $80 million before bonuses and royalties.

Klay Thompson teamed up with basketball star Stephen Curry in a new ad for Subway sandwiches. His endorsement earnings are estimated to be around more than $18 million.

“Killa Klay”, who is currently playing the final of a five-year $189.9 million deal he signed with the Golden State Warriors in 2019. Thompson is earning $43.2 million for the 2023-24 campaign with the Dubs.

The five-time NBA All-Star is looking to get a new multi-year deal with the Bay Area team after his contract is over. Golden State may not be willing to give him a max contract, but he still should be one of the top earners in the team if he re-signs.

Despite having played in the NBA for the last 13 years and the numerous injuries, Klay Thompson isn’t showing signs of stopping. Whether he stays with the Warriors or not, he will remain one of the NBA’s most popular players.

No one will be surprised if he retains or even adds to his slew of sponsors in the next few years.

Klay Thompson bleeds blue and gold: Embraces reduced role with Warriors for entire NBA career

For the majority of his career, Klay Thompson has been Steph Curry’s backcourt partner. Together, they are dubbed as NBA history’s greatest shooting backcourt.

With the arrival of Chris Paul, the Golden State Warriors’ backcourt dynamic may see a few significant changes. Steve Kerr is reportedly keen on inserting one of the game’s best playmakers into the starting lineup. The potential strategy will move Thompson to the small forward spot while Curry handles the shooting guard role.

In a conversation with The Ringer's Logan Murdock, the veteran guard of the Warriors expressed his willingness to accept a limited role with Golden State, emphasizing his desire to remain in the Bay Area and continue playing for the only team he has ever been a part of.

“Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with that,” Thompson said.

“I’ll be 35 next year. At 35, coming off the ACL and an Achilles [tear] and still have the ability to be a really good player. Maybe not the guy who scored 60 in three quarters and scored an NBA record 37 points in a quarter, but still a great threat out there.

"I’ve modeled my game after Reggie [Miller] and Ray [Allen], and those guys were incredibly effective until their late 30s. So I plan on kind of following that mold.”

Golden State isn’t new to a three-guard lineup. They’ve done it with either Kuminga, Andrew Wiggins, or Gary Payton II on offense. The trio, however, isn’t tasked to orchestrate the plays for the team. All three were shooting guards or small forwards in that setup.

Paul’s skill set is best maximized as the primary playmaker. He’s one of the best to ever do it, so the Warriors are best served by using him accordingly.

For the first time since his rookie year, Klay Thompson may have some significant adjustments to do. Dub Nation can’t wait to see how the Warriors will perform next season.
