I know that Klay Thompson had a tough year as a Golden State Warrior this season. He was put on the bench after struggling as a starter, and found himself not playing in crunch time occassionally throughout the season. That last part would have been blasphemous for the majority of his career as he established himself as an elite clutch performer; but this season was a bit different.

He also finished the season with an ingnominious statline of 0-for-10 from the field in the play-in tournament against the Sacramento Kings.

But overall Klay is still a modern miracle, still performing at an overall quality level despite sufering an ACL and Achilles injury back-to-back. Either of those injuries used to be a death knell for a career; instead Klay is still fighting to stay on the court and rising up the historical rankings.

He’s sixth all time on the made three-point charts at 2481 triples, doing it in an absurdly fast 793 games. For reference, the guy he passed at #7 Kyle Korver finished at 2450 in 1232 games.

Next up on the list is the Splash Grandpa Reggie Miller, who knocked down 2560 treys in 1,389 games. Miller accomplished this stellar feat in an era where the threeball was nowhere near as prevalent as it is in today’s game, and Thompson studied Miller to figure out how he was able to terrorize opponent’s from 25+ away from the basket.

“My style resembles that of Reggie Miller,” said Klay during an interview with Steve Smith for NBA TV, ”I call myself the modern-day Reggie. And Reggie got so many scraps, and he got under so many people’s skin.”

Even though Thompson had two seasons robbed from him by injuries, he’s still making his mark as a legend, and I for one can’t wait to celebrate him passing Miller Time next season if all goes well…in a Warriors uniform!
