By 72, it had already started trending.The four-time NBA champion spent his first 13 seasons with the Golden State Warriors before joining the Mavericks. Fans who loved watching the iconic Splash Brothers play together felt heartbroken.When his debut year in Dallas turned out decent, averaging 14 points and shooting 39.1% from deep, critics began questioning his consistency. He was even more underwhelming this past season, averaging 11.7 points and shooting 38.3% from deep. But this viral shooting streak proves he still has elite touch with the ball.Naturally, the clip immediately takes fans back to that fan favorite video of Steph Curry hitting 105 three-pointers in a row a few years ago. Thompson couldn't beat his old Splash Brother's record here, but it was enough to answer his critics.Over his incredible career, Thompson has knocked down 2899 triples while keeping his career average right around 41% from deep.
