4 [Suns](https://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/PHO/phoenix-suns/), could find themselves right back in the middle of the championship hunt. He scored 11 of his 32 points on Sunday in the fourth quarter, and his 30-foot 3 and one-leg floater over the last 50 seconds of the first half marked a momentum surge that will be forgotten with the way this game ended. The Warriors have become pretty top-heavy, and for that to work as a championship formula, those top guys have to be awesome. They have the experience. The pedigree. When his sidekick is also in vintage form, which, again, he absolutely has been for an extended period now, that's when it feels like the dynasty is still alive. And somehow, it seems the same chip on their shoulder in moments of the highest competition. He finished with 32 points on Sunday, backing up the 42 he posted in a win over Houston on Friday, and is now averaging better than 26 points per game since Jan. But the leeway has been earned. If you've settled into the "Thompson isn't what he used to be" narrative, you'll be surprised to learn that he has been scorching hot for almost two months now.

Warriors' Klay Thompson: I Call Myself the 'Modern-Day' Reggie Miller (Bleacher Report)

Klay Thompson is one of the greatest shooters to ever live, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that he sees himself as the evolution of a great shooter who…

By the numbers, Thompson has exceeded Miller as a three-point maestro. While Thompson was asked the question within a discussion about competitive fire, Miller is a fair comparison for his style of play as a shooter. And that's what I want to do when I look back at my career, is say, 'Man, I gave it everything I had, and I competed at the highest level I could.'"

Klay Thompson compares himself to an all-time NBA great, and his reasoning is justified.

Miller's trash-talking abilities were backed up with his cold-blooded shooting on the biggest stages and when it mattered most. It's needed for the Warriors, who feed off Thompson's energy and offensive eruptions. And I mean, Reggie got in so many scraps, he got under so many people’s skin so I really love those two guys at the two-guard spot. The greatest to ever play this game were the biggest competitors. “Being the shooting guard I am, I idolized Kobe Bryant. He was never one to make friends out on the floor, he just wanted to win at all costs.

Klay Thompson names his Legendary Shooting Guard inspiration ... (The twelfth Man Times)

When discussing the '90s basketball scene with Steve Smith on NBA TV, Klay Thompson referred to himself as the modern-day Reggie Miller.

Klay Thompson made the following remark in light of the fact that I have a lot of respect for the two guards that play for them: “I want to be able to look back on my career and say, “Hey, I gave everything I had, and I competed at the finest level I could.” The two catch-and-shoot players have statistics that are pretty comparable to one another. There’s a good chance that comparing Thompson to Uncle Reg is the most relevant comparison. Klay Thompson was a toddler during the time that his father was a member of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team. “My style is aesthetically comparable to that of Reggie Miller.” I like to think of myself as the modern-day version of Reggie. He was not the kind of person to strike up conversations with strangers.

But while the Warriors need Thompson’s scoring right now, he still wants to impact games in a multitude of ways.

With Thompson as their top-scoring option, the squad has a 4-4 record over their previous eight contests. Following the Warriors’ 109-104 victory against Minnesota on Sunday, “Killa Klay” discussed what this new experience has been like for him: “It’s not exactly in my comfort zone since I’m not the loudest person. In addition to missing Draymond Green’s outspoken leadership, the Warriors have also been without Curry’s offensive production.
