Klay Thompson hits 72 consecutive three-pointers in workout session

Klay Thompson, now with the Dallas Mavericks, showcased his shooting prowess by making 72 consecutive three-pointers during an offseason workout in New York. The session, recorded by trainer Chris Brickley, drew attention as it countered recent criticisms regarding his shooting consistency, stemming from a decline in performance last season. Thompson averaged 11.7 points and shot 38.3% from three-point range last year, raising doubts among fans and analysts. His viral shooting display has reignited hope among Mavericks supporters that he can return to form alongside Kyrie Irving and rookie Cooper Flagg in the upcoming season. Thompson, a four-time NBA champion, is set to earn $17.46 million this season.
