#17 Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson (Golden State Warriors)

Golden State Warriors v Atlanta Hawks
Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry

Nicknamed "The Splash Brothers", Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson changed the way the game was played. They were the first ones to really implement the three is more than two theory. Neither of them was really known as a force in college but were still lottery picks. Curry was drafted seventh in 2009 and Thompson eleventh in 2011.

After a bit of a rough start to the NBA, they both started finding their feet in 2013 when they made the second round of the Playoffs before losing to the Spurs.

After an early Playoff exit in 2014, they two really came into their own the following season. Curry was named the MVP and the Warriors won their first title in forty years.

In the 2015-16, the Warriors broke the regular season record for most wins in a single season. They finished with 73 wins and Curry was named the first-ever unanimous MVP. They didn't find it as easy in the playoffs though. After fighting back from a 3-1 deficit in the conference final, Golden State was up 3-1 in the NBA final versus Cleveland and was looking set to defend their title. But, Cleveland shocked the world and won the final three games to make the greatest finals comeback in NBA history.

The Warriors had their redemption though as they beat the Cavaliers in 2017 after adding superstar small-forward Kevin Durant to their roster.
