Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson is having a great first season with his new team after spending his first 13 seasons with the Golden State Warriors, where he won four championships and was one half of one of the most dynamic duos in NBA‘s recent history along superstar guard Stephen Curry: the Splash Brothers.
On Christmas Day, Thompson passed legendary shooter Reggie Miller for fifth place on the NBA’s all time three-pointers list; he currently has 2,565. Curry is at the top of list, with 3,853. Next is Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (3,024); the iconic Ray Allen (2,973); and Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (2,686).

“I couldn’t ask for a better Christmas present,” Thompson said. “It’s obviously a dream come true and I’m going to celebrate because you just think of all the hours you spent shooting and all the shots you’ve gotten up in your lifetime and to pass an icon like Reggie is super-surreal, especially being a ’90s baby. I watched him hit so many game-winners, battle against the best that ever played and leaving it all out on the floor.”

Thompson was having a good time signing autographs to the fans outside of an hotel in Portland, Oregon, as the Mavericks were getting ready to battle the Trail Blazers Sunday night. Everything was going smooth until a man wanted some attention and started screaming that he didn’t care who Klay Thompson was or why were people were asking for his signature.
“But you are over there watching, you bum. What are you talking about?” Thompson said, which was applauded by fans who cheered after hearing the basketball player. Apparently the heckler was a delivery guy and the Dallas Mavericks guard took notice of that and decided to make a statement.
“Go deliver the package, go do your job, why are you standing there? Go do your job, you f****** weirdo.” Thompson added.
Mavericks’ Jason Kidd praises Thompson shooting
Klay Thompson’s latest achievement didn’t go unnoticed by Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd, a former champion with the team himself. “It’s incredible for Thompson’s journey. He’s going to go down as one of the best shooters in the game. To be able to pass Reggie Miller in the all-time three-pointers list is history.” said the former NBA guard.

“I’m going to keep the (game) ball and send the (game) jersey to Reggie and inscribe it because he meant that much to me,” Thompson said. “I remember his battles with Mike and Kobe, taking a small-market team like the Pacers all the way to the NBA Finals and being in the East finals routinely and just being the standard for a what a shooting guard should look that.
“Ever since I was a teenager I studied the way he moved without the ball. It’s had a huge impact on my game. I remember my workout with the Knicks in 2011, (then-Knicks GM) Donnie Walsh said I reminded him of Reggie. That meant a lot to me.”
