The 12 points reported by Klay Thompson in the match of Christmas Day NBA 2024 – lost by the Dallas Mavericks against the Minnesota Timberwolves – are the result of four three-point baskets on 10 attempts. A quota sufficient for the former Warriors to now occupy the fifth position all-time among the best three-point shooters in NBA history. The triple scored with 8:49 on the clock in the fourth quarter of the game was worth it the overtaking on Reggie Millerwhich was the leader of this ranking for a long time.

A special gift, on Christmas day, for Klay Thompson, who commented on the goal achieved thus:
“It's a dream come true. Tonight I will celebrate because, thinking back to all the hours spent shooting and attempting threes in my life, to surpass an icon like Reggie Miller is truly surreal for me.”
Klay Thompson's esteem and appreciation for Reggie Miller, on the other hand, it's not a secret. Klay himself calls himself 'Reggie Miller of the modern era', indicating more than a similarity between their respective playing styles.
