Backcourt: Stephen Curry & Klay Thompson
Yes, I understand without them there would be no championship. But while one of the “Splash Brothers” is great, the other (who happens to make more than his partner) is average at best – they belong at No. 4.
Stephen Curry is the reigning NBA MVP, quite possibly the best point in the game, especially scoring-wise, but Klay Thompson, on the other hand, is a one-dimensional player. He can go for 30 points easily one game, then stink it up with 10 the next.
Rebounding, passing and (at times) defense is not in his vocabulary. Do we really have to mention Curry?
