Klay Thompson

Klay Thompson rang in the New Year with his favorite pastime — raining 3-pointers down on a defense powerless to stop him. The five-time All-Star was fully locked in against the Atlanta Hawks as he buried a step-back 3-pointer over Justin Holiday to give the Golden State Warriors a two-point lead late in overtime. It was one of 10 treys in 21 attempts for Thompson, who produced a season-high 54 points along with eight rebounds and three assists in his squad’s exciting 143-141 double overtime win on January 2, 2023. It was the first time since 2018 and fourth in his career that the four-time champion reached the 50-point mark. One of the best long-range shooters in NBA history, Thompson led the NBA in 3-pointers made with 301 for the first time in his career in 2023.
