Klay Thompson, shooting guard from Golden State Warriors joins elite company among the most accomplished shooters in NBA history.
The Golden State Warriors won last night against the Houston Rockets with a score of 106-95. The game was sealed by Stephen Curry with 14 points in the final six minutes, but the main news of the game is still about Klay Thompson.
Klay Thompson scored 19 points last night with a shooting percentage of 7-12 from the field and 5-10 from three-point range. Those five made three-pointers allowed him to join the ranks of the most elite shooters of all time. He surpassed Jamal Crawford, who has 2,221 career three-pointers, and Thompson now has 2,222. LeBron James is now ahead of him with 2,263 career three-pointers, and since LeBron is still active, it might take some time before he surpasses him.
Considering that Thompson missed two entire seasons due to injuries, it leaves us wondering where he would be today. Nonetheless, this is a significant achievement.
