Golden State Warriors – Stephen Curry
Alongside Ray Allen, Stephen Curry is the greatest three-pointer shooter ever. He is a three-time NBA champion.
Golden State Warriors – Kevin Durant

Oklahoma City Thunder – Russell Westbrook
In the league today, Russell Westbrook is one of the few upgradable players. On the court, he's a beast! He averages 10.7 APG, 11.1 RPG, and 22.9 PPG.
Houston Rockets – James Harden
It's pretty safe to say that the Houston Rockets would likely not be the champs they are without James Harden. He currently exhibits the following staggering averages: 7.5 APG, 6.6 RPG, 36.1 PPG.
For the sake of brevity, for the next five players, we'll simply list monetary statistics.
Houston Rockets – Chris Paul
