Klay Thompson clarifies his comments about Reggie Miller and Stephen Curry

Klay Thompson recently eclipsed his childhood hero, Reggie Miller, to clinch the 5th spot on the all-time three-pointers list on Christmas Day. What seemed like a fable out of a fiction novel, was actually how the storyline played out. Thompson took some time on this occasion to commemorate the person he grew up watching—Reggie Miller.

However, this moment of joy was met with some backlash from Warriors fans. Thompson wrote in his caption that Reggie was the “greatest to ever shoot it,” which many interpreted as him taking subtle shots at his former teammate, the other Splash Brother, Stephen Curry.

Curry is widely regarded as the undisputed greatest shooter of all time. Clarifying his statement, Thompson replied to a comment on his post.

My man lemme clarify. I wrote this caption with my childhood in mind. At the time Reggie was the standard for off-guards and ball movement along with shot-making. We all know 30 is the GOAT shooter.

Thompson’s comment clarified his position and where he was coming from. He also went on to call Chef Curry the greatest shooter, highlighting the bond they share. Having played together for over 13 years on the Golden State Warriors and building the Warriors dynasty from the ground up, there’s a reason Dub Nation dubbed this duo of shooters the “Splash Brothers.”

As of now, Stephen Curry sits comfortably at the top of the all-time three-pointers list with 3,853 made. Next is James Harden with 3,024, followed by Ray Allen at 2,973. Fourth on the list is Damian Lillard with 2,686 threes, with Thompson closely trailing him with 2,565 threes.
