The Miami Heat are not getting the Klay Thompson who once scored 37 points in a quarter.
Miami is not getting the Klay Thompson who set the NBA record of 14 3-pointers in a game, and did it in just 27 minutes. Or the five-time all-star who averaged more than 20 points per game for seven consecutive seasons.
But the Heat are getting a piece they desperately need. One that, at 36 years old, still could be the difference in a handful of games, but one that is not going to go off for 11 3s in a quarter like he did in the 2016 Western Conference Final against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Klay Thompson's career will be defined by his long-range shooting. He was an elite 3-point shooter who created his shots by his energy, always moving and coming off screens.
Thompson is fourth all-time with 2,899 3s and played all but two of his 13 seasons with the greatest 3-point shooter of all time, Stephen Curry, to form the "Splash Brothers." The two spearheaded the Golden State Warriors' four ******* les from 2015 to 2022.
