Klay Thompson’s immediate reaction to Damian Lillard’s pass
His play may have declined in recent years due to nagging injuries, but whenever Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson lets fly from deep, always annoying opponents.
Thompson will forever be known as one of the greatest scorers in league history. On Thursday against the Utah Jazz at the American Airlines Center, he made sure to remind everyone of his work.
Thompson passed Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard for fourth on the all-time 3-pointers list after sinking his second 3-pointer in the first quarter.
Four-time champion showed his delight after reaching his final milestone, raising his hands to the crowd.

Thompson hit another three-pointer to push his total to 2,806 and beyond.
The 35-year-old sniper is behind only Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden and NBA legend Ray Allen.
Thompson entered the NBA in 2011 as a largely unheralded prospect from Washington State. But he quickly became a star as a dead man from the deep. He holds the league record for most 3-pointers in a game with 14, set against the Chicago Bulls in 2018.
Who could also forget his 37-point quarter against the Sacramento Kings in 2015.
Unfortunately, he was derailed by back-to-back injuries and struggled to regain his All-Star form.
Still, Thompson is a threat from beyond the arc, and the Mavericks use him as an instant spark off the bench. He made 216 3-pointers last season.
If he stays healthy, he could easily pass Allen for third on the career triples list.
