Jamal Crawford Praises Klay Thompson for Surpassing Him on NBA All-Time 3-Point List

Klay Thompson has achieved a significant milestone in his career by moving into the Top 10 of the NBA’s All-Time three-pointers list. With over a decade as one of the elite shooters in the NBA, Thompson accomplished this feat during the Golden State Warriors’ win against the Houston Rockets. In the game, the veteran wing made five three-pointers, enabling him to surpass Jamal Crawford and climb the league’s All-Time rankings.

Retired guard Crawford was quick to praise the Warriors sharpshooter after the achievement was announced. “Klay is one of the best shooters to ever play. So, there’s a lot of pride in that,” he said. Crawford further added, “He’ll go down as one of the very best. The Splash Brothers have absolutely pushed the game forward. So, to see him do it, I was very, very proud…Pay homage to Klay, he’s one of the best to ever do it.”

In addition to Thompson’s individual accomplishments, the Splash Brothers – Thompson and teammate Stephen Curry – have significantly impacted the game of basketball. Their long-range shooting and high-scoring performances have set new standards for NBA teams, with many emulating their style of play.

Despite the struggles faced by Ime Udoka’s team, Thompson’s performance against the Houston Rockets showcased his skill and dedication to the sport. As one of the best shooters in NBA history, he continues to leave his mark on the league.

With this latest achievement, Klay Thompson further solidifies his legacy as an elite shooter and a pivotal part of the Golden State Warriors. As he continues to break records and climb the NBA’s All-Time rankings, fans and fellow players alike eagerly anticipate what’s next for the accomplished athlete.
