4. Steph Curry & Draymond Green

Fourth on the list is a duo of multi-time champions. Steph Curry and Draymond Green have been at the center of one of the most dominant periods in sports history. The Golden State Warriors have wreaked havoc over the NBA for the last half-decade, resulting in three championships in five years.

Originally, the duo would have been Curry and Klay Thompson, the backcourt affectionately known as “the Splash Brothers”. Thompson, however, suffered a torn ACL against the Toronto Raptors in last year’s Finals.

Instead, Curry is partnered by Green, a former Defensive Player of the Year, a two-time All-NBA selection and a five-time All-NBA Defensive Team selection. Green is an undersized power forward who can play at center, and take on ball-handling duties while operating as the Warriors main facilitator.

Green handling the ball allows Curry to work off of it, coming off screens to hit numerous shots from all over the court. There is no other player like Curry in NBA history. He’s a 43-percent shooter from three during his career on an astounding 8.2 attempts per game.

The greatest shooter of all-time is Curry, but he’s also a top-five player in the NBA, which is why the duo of he and Green ranks so highly. Green is great, but Curry is on another level.
