Klay comes from an athletic dynasty: father Mychal was the No. 1 pick in 1978 and a Lakers champion, brother Trayce played in MLB, and brother Mychel had an NBA stint. He grew up in Lake Oswego, Oregon — a childhood friend and Little League teammate of Kevin Love — before moving to Southern California.
Known for a quiet, dry-humored demeanor and a love of chess and his boat, he pledged $1,000 per home-game point for Northern California wildfire relief in 2017, helping raise roughly $360,000. He appeared as himself in Space Jam: A New Legacy.
Laid-back, unbothered and lethally consistent, Klay is the rare superstar who thrives entirely within the flow of the game.
