Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, the two splash brothers, grew up watching their fathers play in the league. Curry’s father Dell Curry played 10 years of his career for the Hornets. Whereas Mychal Thompson, Klay’s father, played for the Lakers for 4 years.

Both their dads played in the 80s and the 90s. Both the decades saw the rise of Michael Jordan and with his rise came his rivals. The Bad Boy Pistons had kept Jordan’s Bulls under them till 1990. Isiah Thomas and company had put fear in every other team in the league. Their opponents weren’t big fans of their physical game.

Bad boy Isiah

Isiah Thomas and the Pistons would play a very physical game, which had every big-time player upset. The Pistons had most of their altercations with the Bulls and the Lakers. Jordan himself had got into a few fights with the Pistons players. Incidentally, Magic Johnson too had several altercations with the team. While being physical versus the Lakers, Mychal Thompson took hits on the head by Isiah.

Curry and Thompson once had some words for LeBron James in a Finals game. Other than that, both have their game do the talking.

Compared to Steph and Klay, apart from the obvious factor, shooting, Dumars and Thomas had great chemistry on the offensive end. Being part of the Pistons, both were supported by Dennis Rodman and Bill Laimbeer. Their duo is quite similar to the Warriors, as Curry and Klay are supported by Draymond and, for now, Jordan Poole as well.
