Klay Thompson is regarded as one of the most efficient 3-point shooters in league history. His extraordinary range and consistency is one of the reasons why the Golden State Warriors are on top. It also helps that Thompson is a reliable defender who can guard multiple positions. While the defense has to focus on Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry, Thompson is usually open to shoot bombs from the 3-point line.

On Thursday, Thompson scored his 10,000 point as a Warrior, becoming the 10th Warrior to do so. This is an incredible feat, especially for a niche 3-point shooter still in his prime. Like usual, though, Thompson downplayed his excitement about the accomplishment. Rather, he really displayed a monotone attitude about Thursday's feat, per Connor Letourneau of SF Chronicle.

Klay Thompson, in his typical monotone, on becoming the 10th player in franchise history to score 10,000 career points: “I’m proud of that, that’s pretty cool.”

Thompson is one of the more laid-back players of the Warriors. He's rarely in the media, except for his expedition to China last summer. Thompson also doesn't interact much with other players as well to be a consistent media topic. Therefore, it's perfectly understandable that the shooting guard gave such a robotic response. Though, there could be an ulterior motive.

Thompson and the Warriors are focused on repeating as champions this year. Therefore, there is no time to focus on trivial matters. The Warriors have a title to win, and Thompson will be an integral part of this process.
