The NBA is emphasizing long-distance shots more and more by the year. Curry is the only player in NBA history with more than 500 playoff 3-pointers, and obviously, for a duo to reach 1,000, someone needs to have crossed 500.

Klay Thompson's historic 3-point shooting made two more marks in the record books during Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals.

Thompson’s night of 3-point achievement came exactly three years after the five-time All-Star suffered a torn ACL in the 2019 NBA Finals against Toronto. The Warriors missed the playoffs the next two seasons, which Thompson missed while recovering from that injury and a torn Achilles tendon. The evolution of the long ball and the Warriors’ recent dominance has made the 3-point shot a historically prominent part of the NBA Finals.

The achievement highlights the duo, long nicknamed the Splash Brothers, and its long-distance dominance since making its playoff debut in 2013.

Thompson isn’t getting in line to get his finger sized for the ring yet, though. “Growing up, we would watch those games, and you could just feel the tension in the Forum, or at the Boston Garden, and I know he looks back on those with so much joy as I do, too. “Well, when you face a team with the history like the Celtics, it’s awesome,” Thompson said.

The fact that he made it through multiple security checkpoints without a second glance is astonishing. And if he snuck in past security, who snapped the photo of him on the court? For now, no one seems to know if this ban is real or another one of Dawson’s plots to trick us all.

NBA Finals: The secret to Klay's success is the ocean.

And if the ocean keeps rejuvenating him like it did this week, he’s going to be taking the Larry O’Brien trophy on a bay cruise very soon. And for Jayson Tatum, it’s dressing up like his sports heroes - he wore a Tiger Woods t-shirt to Game Five, because he knew his game was going to be subpar. Ice water in his veins, ice water outside his veins, ice water in his hair and beard. For Draymond, it’s growing his podcast audience and finally getting a sponsorship from Squarespace. For Gary Payton II, it’s making sure his dad doesn’t trash talk him from the sidelines. Young, beautiful jumper, father was a champion, taken from his normal life by an act of God while in his prime, loves intoxicating spirits and the water, achieved sports immortality - how does all of this not describe Klay “Ganymede” Thompson? Boston Celtics fans are probably frantically reserving boats all over town in advance of Thursday’s Game Six, just to try to keep Klay out of the water.
