Klay Thompson Nears Historic NBA Milestone with Mavericks
Klay Thompson, the Dallas Mavericks’ sharpshooting guard and a future Hall of Famer, is on the brink of making NBA history. During the Mavericks’ dominant 132-108 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, Thompson added three three-pointers to his career total, bringing him to 2,558. This achievement puts him just two triples shy of tying, and three away from surpassing, the legendary Reggie Miller for fifth place on the NBA’s all-time three-pointers list.

The stage is set for Thompson to achieve this milestone in dramatic fashion on Christmas Day, a fitting moment on national television. Facing the Minnesota Timberwolves, Thompson could etch his name even deeper into NBA history, joining the exclusive company of top-tier shooters like Stephen Curry, James Harden, Ray Allen, and Damian Lillard. Reggie Miller, whom Thompson idolized growing up in Los Angeles, is a particularly special name on this list. Miller’s influence even inspired Thompson’s choice to wear the number 31 with the Mavericks, a nod to both Miller and Jason Terry.
This season, Thompson has continued to showcase his flair for rising to big occasions. Notably, he delivered his best performances against his former team, the Golden State Warriors. Just two weeks ago, he dropped 29 points against them, hitting an impressive 7 out of 11 three-point attempts. Thompson’s ability to shine in key moments underscores his value to the Mavericks, a team with championship aspirations.
As he prepares for the Christmas Day clash, the anticipation around Thompson’s record-breaking potential is palpable. With his unparalleled shooting ability and knack for the spotlight, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Mavericks set him up for this historic moment early in the game. Fans, teammates, and the basketball world alike will be watching as Klay Thompson takes one more step toward cementing his legacy as one of the greatest shooters the game has ever seen.
