If Thompson stays healthy, he theoretically could join the top five by next season, though that might be a stretch. Still, with a few more healthy seasons, he’ll shoot way up the rankings, and while he’ll never catch teammate Stephen Curry, the Splash Brothers are going to be remembered as two of the greatest shooters in NBA history.
The leaderboards don’t lie. Neither do the four titles Thompson and Curry have won together.
