These three guys work so well together it's insane and they are the best example of modern basketball. Curry with his alien shooting/playmaking, Klay is also a top four shooter ever/big at 6'7/two-way player as well with good defense, Draymond with DPOY abilities specifically tailored for small ball play and he has elite passing/BBIQ on offense. Dray makes so many good decisions after getting the ball when Steph is doubled.
Any one of these players missing and the Warriors talent tanks a lot. They each just work so perfectly together which is why they took the NBA by storm immediately and essentially ushered in the modern-era of basketball (along with those Harden rockets too, but they were was less "natural" about it). Yes Curry is the engine and deserves the lead credit, but Klay and Dray are massively important and excellent sidekicks to Curry. These three don't even need to put up gaudy stats every game, just the "system" that these three brings is enough to be elite.
I'm not a Warriors fan by any means, but these guys are so pure and deserve a massive place in history. It's a shame Durant had to bandwagon for a few years and literally make them the best teams ever by a decent margin.
I won't be surprised at all if Warriors win one more ring this year.

1) The #1 option determines if a trio works together, aka if Curry was a spotty-shooting ball-dominator like Luka/Lebron, then Klay/Dray wouldn't fit and you couldn't make this thread.
So it's Curry's expert jumpshooting skill that allows the ball movement to facilitate Dray and Klay's game.
This is similar to MJ/Pippen where MJ's skillet allowed Pippen to play his game - Pippen stated this to Rachel Nichols by saying that he couldn't provide the spacing needed for a big man-oriented offense in Houston (and could therefore only win with MJ):

2) Only Curry's dominance allows the trio to be great - put Draymond on the Wizards with Beal and it's a completely lower level that lacks the winning to give Dray all-time status.
This is similar to MJ/Pippen where Pippen needed MJ to completely carry the scoring load more than anyone in history

You are not fulling grasping the picture and the effect Klay has on this trio. It's BOTH Curry's and Klay's ridiculous shooting and constant movement on the court that makes them so unstoppable on offense...then you add in Dray with his high BBIQ and him as the de-facto passer/point-forward on offense making excellent plays while playing four on three...it's the most unique trio in basketball in the last decade and perfectly represent the modern era style.
Of course idk why I respond to you anyways about this since you don't really care about the topic...you are simply trying to derail this by trying to ultimately tear down Lebron and Pippen.

Great synergy but Draymond is the most interesting case. He, especially in his prime, was such a trap killer that it made the Warriors unguardable. He had a huge impact on the team. But aside from that very specific role on this very specific team I doubt he makes an all-star team. His defense contributes anywhere but would his passing really be showcased in a bad system? Would his IQ? This is where you have to credit the Warriors org for finding these kind of diamonds in the rough to pair with the more sure fire talents.
