No. 1 Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson – Golden State Warriors

Combined averages: 52.2 points, 8.8 assists, 9.2 reboounds

The greatest backcourt shooting duo of all-time earns the top spot on the list. As the obvious choice for the best NBA backcourt duo, the splash brothers have some unfinished business to take care of this season.

Curry is the back-to-back NBA MVP and Thompson is his running mate in the backcourt. Last season, these two finished at No. 1 and No. 2 on the made three-pointers list, Curry finished with 402 and Thompson finished with 276.

With the addition of a former MVP in Kevin Durant, Curry and Thompson’s numbers may take a bit of a hit this year. However, the talent level will remain supreme. The Warriors are going to be a fun team to watch this coming year.
