Starting Backcourt: Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson

I mean, seriously, who else did you expect to see occupy the number one slot? The last slide wasn’t even really a spoiler because you probably knew who would be here before you even clicked on the article.

Do I really even need to explain? The Warriors have the NBA’s two-time reigning MVP and possibly most exciting player since Jordan at the point guard and one of the best shooters the NBA has ever seen (alongside Curry) at the shooting guard.

The Splash Brothers were the best backcourt in the league last year and there is no doubt that they will continue to be in 2017 as they try to redeem themselves after a tough Game 7 loss in the 2016 NBA Finals.
