Clay celebrates the 15,000-point milestone: the second man in the same class to lose only to Irving ahead of Cabutler Jr

On February 16, Beijing time, in the Warriors' away game against Jazz, Klay Thompson, one of the core of the Warriors, ended his streak of 727 consecutive starts, and he also changed to the bench again after 4,358 days. Klay reached the 15,000-point milestone in his career regular season, becoming the 153rd player in NBA history to reach 15,000 points, and the second Mr. 15,000 points in the 2011 draft, second only to Irving, the top pick in the same class, who has broken the 16,000-point mark, and leads Leonard and Butler in career regular season points.

Prior to the game against the Jazz, Klay had accumulated 14,987 points in the regular season of his career, just 13 points short of the 15,000-point milestone. In the first 49 games of the season, Klay's scoring average has slipped to 17 points, the third-lowest in a single season of his career, only better than the first two seasons of his career.

It's just that Klay was at the peak of his career, and he was seriously injured in two seasons in 2019-21, causing him to lose too many opportunities to accumulate data.

Now with Klay scoring at least 13 points against the Jazz, he has successfully reached the 15,000-point milestone in the regular season of his career, becoming the 153rd player in NBA history to do so.

As for the 2011 NBA draft, Klay is the second player to reach the 15,000-point milestone in the first round, second only to Irving, who has scored 16,545 points, and Klay is still more than 1,500 points away from Irving.

In addition, in the same draft in 2011, No. 9 show Kemba Walker scored 14,483 points, No. 15 show Leonard scored 13,478 points, No. 16 show Vucevic scored 14,871 points, and No. 30 show Butler scored 14,480 points, of which Vucevic and Butler are also approaching the 15,000-point mark, and Walker has left the NBA.
