There are a lot of amazing duos in the NBA. It is not easy to reduce the top five, not to mention the order.
But Monday morning, Stephen A. Smith of ESPN provided his list on "First Take".
5) James Harden and Russell Westbrook – Rockets
4) Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving – Nets
3) Kawhi Leonard and Paul George – Clippers
2) Steph Curry and Klay Thompson – Warriors
1) LeBron James and Anthony Davis – Lakers
Smith praised the Splash brothers:
"It's very simple, it's the biggest shooting backcourt in basketball history, and we've never seen a duo able to shoot basketball like that before.
"When these two brothers are back safe and sound, I have news for you: sleep on the Golden State Warriors if you want, because you do not know basketball.
"They are going to have something to say about everything when everything is said and done."
What about Draymond Green?
"I think Steph and Draymond are more of a tandem than anyone," said Max Kellerman, ESPN host. "Now, it's true that you need a third guy to space the floor and shoot." Without Klay, it does not work as well.
"But you can pick up other guys who can shoot all 3. Steph and Draymond are pick-and-roll – that's all the league.
"When you reduce the Warriors to their basic component, Dray is the # 2 guy."
It's hard to disagree with Kellerman on this point, but it's understandable why Smith chose Klay because he was focusing on offensive firepower.
