Thompson has now established himself as one of the most accomplished shooters in the history of the National Basketball Association (NBA), placing him in incredibly exclusive company.

The fact that Klay Thompson has been able to regain his health has made it possible for him to resume his ascent back up the NBA record books.

The Warriors great moved up to tenth place all-time in made three-pointers during the game that took place on Sunday in Houston. In the process, he passed Jamal Crawford to acquire this position. By receiving a pass during a transition and then, without dribbling the ball, rising well beyond the 3-point arc to sink his 2,222nd career 3-point shot, Thompson accomplished the feat in a style that is considered to be the most traditional.

Klay Thompson, a five-time All-Star and four-time NBA champion, has returned to the Warriors after missing the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons due to knee and Achilles surgeries. This results in the rejoining of the Warriors’ legendary “Splash Brothers” combo, which consists of Thompson and Stephen Curry.

It is likely that Thompson will require extra games in order to catch up to LeBron James, who is still active and now ranks ninth on the list of basketball players who have made three-point shots. Players that have since retired and achieved considerable notoriety, like as Jason Terry (8th) and Vince Carter (7th), are currently occupying positions that are substantially higher than their previous ones.
