Assuming Steph is #1 :hubie:

Is Klay right up there or is he behind the likes of Reggie, Ray, Dirk, Bird etc.?

He's one of the best high-volume three point shooters ever and gets hot like few others can (:dame:). But beyond that he's good from just about everywhere on the floor and has gotten better at scoring off the dribble over the last couple years. Not to mention he has a handful of big games/shots that every great shooter should have.

However you define the ability to shoot the ball, where do you put Klay Thompson?

Ask yourself when did Ray, Dirk, Reggie and Bird drop 37pts in one quarter or 60pts in 29 mins without dribbling the ball more than 5 times..

Klay is 2nd

He has never shot below 40% from three in his career.

He needs to average 197 threes per season over the next 7 seasons to catch Ray Allen.

For his career he is currently averaging 222 threes per season. Does that answer your question?

He will either finish 2nd or 3rd in all-time threes barring injury.
