Warriors' Klay Thompson: I Call Myself the 'Modern-Day' Reggie Miller (Bleacher Report)

Klay Thompson is one of the greatest shooters to ever live, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that he sees himself as the evolution of a great shooter who…

By the numbers, Thompson has exceeded Miller as a three-point maestro. While Thompson was asked the question within a discussion about competitive fire, Miller is a fair comparison for his style of play as a shooter. And that's what I want to do when I look back at my career, is say, 'Man, I gave it everything I had, and I competed at the highest level I could.'"

4 [Suns](https://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/PHO/phoenix-suns/), could find themselves right back in the middle of the championship hunt. He scored 11 of his 32 points on Sunday in the fourth quarter, and his 30-foot 3 and one-leg floater over the last 50 seconds of the first half marked a momentum surge that will be forgotten with the way this game ended. The Warriors have become pretty top-heavy, and for that to work as a championship formula, those top guys have to be awesome. They have the experience. The pedigree. When his sidekick is also in vintage form, which, again, he absolutely has been for an extended period now, that's when it feels like the dynasty is still alive. And somehow, it seems the same chip on their shoulder in moments of the highest competition. He finished with 32 points on Sunday, backing up the 42 he posted in a win over Houston on Friday, and is now averaging better than 26 points per game since Jan. But the leeway has been earned. If you've settled into the "Thompson isn't what he used to be" narrative, you'll be surprised to learn that he has been scorching hot for almost two months now.

Klay Thompson compares himself to an all-time NBA great, and his reasoning is justified.

Miller's trash-talking abilities were backed up with his cold-blooded shooting on the biggest stages and when it mattered most. It's needed for the Warriors, who feed off Thompson's energy and offensive eruptions. And I mean, Reggie got in so many scraps, he got under so many people’s skin so I really love those two guys at the two-guard spot. The greatest to ever play this game were the biggest competitors. “Being the shooting guard I am, I idolized Kobe Bryant. He was never one to make friends out on the floor, he just wanted to win at all costs.

Klay Thompson reflects on taking up leadership role in Steph Curry ... (Sportskeeda)

Klay Thompson has been forced to shoulder a heavier offensive load for the Golden State Warriors lately, in the absence of superstar teammate Steph Curry.

The team has gone 4-4 over their last eight games with Thompson as their No. Outside of Curry's offense, the Warriors have also missed the vocal leadership of forward Draymond Green, who has missed two games with a knee injury. The Warriors also had a stretch where they lost nine of 11 games. However, they still went on to win the 2022 NBA title. In the eight games since, Thompson has averaged 28.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 6.5 3-pointers per game on 48.5% shooting. Curry has been out since Feb.
