Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson just eclipsed the 400-mark in terms of 3-pointers made in the postseason in Tuesday's testy Game 2 matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. Thompson's latest milestone now has him entering elite company with teammate Stephen Curry and LeBron James.
That's it. That's the entire list. LeBron, Curry, and now Thompson are the only three players in NBA history to ever hit at least 400 triples in the playoffs (h/t CBS Sports on Twitter):

It's amazing to think that two out of the three players on this elite list are both members of the Warriors. If this is not a testament to Curry and Thompson being the greatest shooting backcourt ever then I don't know what is.

Golden State holds a 1-0 series lead and another win on Memphis' home floor puts them in an excellent position to progress to the Western Conference Finals. You can be sure, however, that Ja Morant and Co. won't be going down without a proper fight. This has the makings of an epic series, no doubt.
