Klay Thompson is the lead shooting guard for the Golden State Warriors. Thompson has returned to playing after almost three years and it is like he never left. Klay’s return kickstarted with a bang as he opened the scoring in his return game. Thompson is averaging 16.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3 assists per game this season.
The Splash brothers, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are known for being a menacing three-point duo in the NBA. While Curry has already achieved the title of ‘Greatest Shooter of all time’, Klay is rising on that list slowly but surely.
Klay Thompson has 1,831 three-pointers and counting
The Golden State Warriors had an easy victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. In the 110-98 win, Klay Thompson finished with the most points. The 3 time NBA champion had 21 points while Curry has 18 points, 9 rebounds, and 10 assists.
Thompson was shooting 40% from the field and 37.5% from the three-point line. Today’s game saw Klay reach the 18th position on the All-Tim three-pointers made list with 1,831 made threes

Klay Thompson currently is below Paul George. He requires one three-pointer t pass PG13. He will stand behind Kyle Lowry from the Miami Heat who has 1,914 made three-pointers. This is great news for Klay Thompson considering he was snubbed from the NBA Top 75 players of all-time list.
Klay is still not over being left off the NBA’s 75th anniversary team 🗣️

The snub was an absolute shocker for basketball fans around the world. Everyone knows that Klay Thompson deserved to be on that list. He has been one of the most versatile shooters in the NBA. Coach Kerr also reacted to Klay being snubbed from the list. Steve Kerr felt that it was unfair to see Draymond and Klay not make the NBA 75 list considering they are key players in the GSW dynasty.
I definitely think both guys are top 75, just based on winning and two-way basketball and everything that really matters more than statistics and anything related to numbers, What matters is if you’re winning championships, and that’s what counts. I would have hoped and thought that both guys would be on there
Klay might not be Top 75 according to the NBA lists but to the fans around the world, he is definitely one of the best players in the league right now. It is only a matter of time before the splash brothers are lifting yet another championship together, hopefully.
