Despite missing the last two seasons due to injury, Klay Thompson still gets respect as a shooter. Before the Golden State Warriors guard makes his long-awaited return to the court, he’s earned one of the top 3-point shooting marks in the new NBA 2K22 video game.
The five-time NBA shooting guard was credited with a 95 rating when it comes to shooting from beyond the arc in the latest edition of the popular basketball video game. Thompson only trails his teammate Steph Curry with a 99 rating for 3-point shooting, giving the Warriors one of the best shooting backcourts in the game.
