With the 2016-17 NBA season about to begin, we rank the league’s five-best guard duos

In the NBA, the backcourt is composed of the point guard and shooting guard. Below, we take a look at which backcourt duos in the NBA are most dominant. If you think about it, when was the last time a team won the NBA championship and did not have an all-star in the backcourt?

When talking about the best backcourts in the NBA, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson immediately come to mind as the frontrunners. That raises the question, who fills out the rest of the top 5?

While ranking the NBA’s best backcourt duos, I am looking at overall success, talent as a whole, and for the new duos, how well they will play together. Also, I have combined the duos individual stats from the 2015-16 NBA season. This gives us a visual aid to use when comparing two different backcourts.
