Klay Thompson Ranks Fourth All-Time in NBA Three-Pointers

Klay Thompson achieved a historic milestone in the Mavericks' victory against the Jazz (144-122) by hitting six three-pointers, bringing his career total to 2,809. This moved him into fourth place on the NBA's all-time three-pointers list, surpassing Damian Lillard, who currently has 2,804 due to injury. The 35-year-old shooting guard/forward's accomplishment solidifies his position among the league's elite shooters. While still active, the gap between Thompson and the top three players on the list is substantial, making it a challenging climb to the number one spot. Steph Curry leads the chart with a significant margin of 4,205 three-pointers, followed by James Harden with 3,293 and Ray Allen with 2,973. Thompson's consistency and efficiency, boasting a 40.9% three-point percentage, make him a highly reliable scoring threat. The table also highlights the number of games each player needed to reach these totals. Thompson achieved his 2,809 three-pointers in 904 games, Lillard in 900, Allen in 1,300, Harden in 1,118, and Curry in 1,058, showcasing his remarkable skill and scoring consistency.
