The Golden State Warriors have put together one of the greatest trios of all time. Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green have combined for four titles during their time together.
The trio has combined 17 All-Star appearances, 12 All-NBA teams, and four championships.
Since they erupted onto the scene in the mid-2010s, the game of basketball has changed. Teams are playing a new style of the game, relying heavily on their shooting.
It’s not necessarily up for debate on who led this charge. Through the 3-point shooting of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, the Warriors became must-watch television. Kids around the world began to shoot from deep, hoping to even slightly resemble the stars that they idolized.
Now as the group gets older, it seems more people are stopping to admire what they have done for basketball. Whether you agree or not, the influence they had is undeniable.
On the heels of their fourth title, Draymond Green believes that it’s time for the group to “take a bow.”
No matter what level of basketball you watch, the influence is glaring 😏
Take a bow fellas @KlayThompson @StephenCurry30

Heading into the season, many around the NBA were skeptical of whether or not the Warriors could end the season as champions again. Due to multiple factors, the Warriors finally regressing would have made sense.
Klay Thompson was coming off of two season-ending injuries. He hadn't played in an NBA game in 941 days. Yet upon his return, he was able to make an impact on this team. He finished the season averaging 20.4 PPG, 3.9 RPG, and 2.8 APG. he shot 42.9% from the floor and 38.5% from three.
Steph Curry himself was coming off of a 2020-21 season where he led the NBA in scoring. As he served as the Warrior's main scoring threat, he looked to be unstoppable. But people didn't think this would carry over in this past season. While Curry didn't lead the league in scoring again, he was still just as effective as he had been throughout his career.
