Golden State Warriors stars Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are the greatest shooting backcourt in NBA history.
They also are really good at playing quarterback.
But don't take our word for it. Instead, listen to Warriors head coach Steve Kerr talk about how he was impressed by Curry and Thompson's quarterback skills a few years ago.
Via Drew Shiller of NBC Sports Bay Area:
“A few years ago, we had a practice during Super Bowl week. Our guys were tired and instead of having a normal practice, we ended up throwing the football around — having some competition where guys had to partner with one player and do patterns and run through our facility and complete passes to different spots.
“I knew Steph and Klay were great athletes, but to watch them throw the football was incredible. They both have absolute cannons. And then the other guy who can throw a football about 75 yards is a guy named Mo Speights — Marreese Speights. And here's the thing that ties it all together — they were our three best shooters.”
Thompson played intramural flag football in college. At 6-foot-7, the Warriors sharpshooter has the size to excel at the quarterback position.
It's not really a surprise to hear that Curry and Thompson have big arms. After all, these are professional athletes at the end of the day. Despite playing basketball professionally, most NBA players are good at other sports as well.
Curry, of course, is an excellent golfer. The Warriors point guard could have a future on the PGA tour once his NBA career ends.
