Today's NBA regular season Warriors lost 93-102 to the 76ers on the road, and Curry struggled with strict defense, scoring only 18 points on 6-of-20 shooting. When opponents are unscrupulously packed in the library, the Warriors' lack of a second point of weakness is exposed, making people miss Klay Thompson very much.
Fortunately, Clay was relegated to development league training today and is expected to make a comeback in the home game against the Kings or Grizzlies, and the Splash Brothers are about to make a comeback. Curry is only 7 points away from surpassing Ray Allen to become the all-time three-point king, and Clay also has a miracle of 37 points in a single quarter, is the Splash Brothers who built the Warriors Dynasty the best guard duo in NBA history?
Let's take a look back at NBA history and line up ten of the best pairs of guard duos.
10. Harden and Paul (Rockets)
Despite the short time the light bulbs were put together, the Rockets achieved an impressive record of 118 wins and 46 losses in the two seasons of the regular season, and in the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors with the Big Four of Durant, Curry, Thompson and Green were dragged to the seventh game. If it weren't for Paul's injury, the Rockets, who led 3-2, would most likely eliminate the historic warriors and advance to the Finals.
9. Kobe Bryant and Fisher (Lakers)
With 18 All-Stars, 2 FMVPs and 1 regular season MVP, Bryant's greatness is unquestionable. In Kobe's five championship seasons, Fisher was his teammate, and four of them were as the team's starting point guard. Fisher is not only known for scoring in key moments, but also shooting 37.4 percent from three-point range in his career, making him Kobe Bryant's perfect backcourt partner.
8. Jordan and Harper (Bulls)
Harper, who joined the Bulls, changed his role from an early scorer to a defensive expert around Jordan, and as the team's starting point guard, Harper played a key role in the Bulls' second triple-title. But honestly, the god of basketball is too great, and no matter which player he is paired with, we have to make a place for him in the top ten.
7. Fraser and Monroe (Knicks)
Fraser and Monroe are Knicks legends, both named to the latest NBA 75 superstar list. Before coming to New York in 1971, Monroe was a two-time All-Star player, and then was selected two more All-Stars, while Fraser was a seven-time All-Star. During the 1793 Knicks championship season, Fraser (21.9) and Monroe (16.1) were the main scorers.
6. Parker and Ginobili (Spurs)
French sports cars and demon knives are part of the Spurs Dynasty GDP combination, and together in San Antonio they won 4 championships. Parker is one of the best point guards in the league, a 6-time All-Star and 1-time FMVP. Although Ginobili played most of his career as a substitute, he was one of the strongest sixth-men in history, staying on the field in the decisive moment.
5. The Magician and Scott (Lakers)
In the Lakers' showtime era, the Big Three composed of Magic and Vassi Jabbar are the core of the team, but in their four-year treble journey, Byron Scott is also an important part. In 1987-88, Scott averaged a career-high 21.7 points per game, the Lakers' top scorer and averaging 19.6 points per game in the playoffs.
4. Bob Cousy and Sam Jones (Celtic)
Between 1957 and 1969, the Celtics won 11 championships, with Cussi and Jones being a backcourt combination of five championships. Cusi, who has been the league assists king for eight consecutive seasons, said after being inducted into the Hall of Fame: "Sam and Bill Shaman helped me the most in the Hall of Fame because whenever I threw the ball to them, they always threw in. Like Fraser and Monroe, both Kushi and Jones were named to the NBA's 75 biggest stars.
3. West and Goodrich (Lakers)
In 2015, Patled Riley said that before Curry and Thompson, West and Goodrich were the most dominant backcourt combinations he had ever seen. Between 1970 and 1974, West averaged 24.6 points and nine assists per game on 47.9 percent shooting, while Guderic averaged 23.2 points and four assists at 46.6 percent. In 1972, the two led the Lakers to their only championship of their careers.
2. Isaiah Thomas and Jodumas (Pistons)
Before Jordan ruled the NBA, the bad boy army led by Thomas and Dumas made the basketball gods suffer a lot. Thomas is one of the greatest point guards of all time, and Dumas is a six-time All-Star. In 1989, the two led the Pistons to defeat the Lakers in the Finals to win the first championship in team history. The following year, he defeated the Blazers and successfully defended his title.
1. Curry and Thompson (Warriors)
Both Curry and Thompson are seen as one of the best shooters in NBA history, and their combination of the Splash Brothers laid the foundation of the Warriors' dynasty, where together they reached the Finals five times in a row and won three championships. In the 2015-16 season, the Splash Brothers led the Warriors to create the best regular season record in NBA history with 73 wins and 9 losses. Their story continues.
