Steph Curry and Klay Thompson are the best shooting duo in NBA history. Off the court, they got on like a house on fire.

Skip Bayless on the Undisputed recently spoke about Curry's relationship with Thompson, which he feels is key to their success.

"I have never, ever, in all my career, seen anything like this professional relationship between Steph and Klay that has lasted now for 11 seasons. ... You have the two best shooters in the history of basketball on the same team and they get along famously."

The NBA analyst compared the relationship between Curry and Thompson to that of Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan, one of the most famous tandems in the history of the league.

Even though Jordan and Pippen played incredibly well together and won numerous championships, it was hard for them to coexist. Pippen ended up leaving the Chicago Bulls in 1998 and joining the Houston Rockets.

This shows just how hard it is for two players to coexist and respect each other throughout their career. However, that hasn't been an issue for the Warriors sharpshooters.

What makes their partnership all the more special is the fact that both players were drafted by the Golden State Warriors. Curry entered the league in the 2009 NBA draft, while Thompson was drafted two years later.

Both were solid contributors immediately after entering the league. However, no one could have predicted they would become as amazing as they are now.

Steph Curry and Klay Thompson have won three championships together and have a chance to seal a fourth title on Thursday night.

The Golden State Warriors currently have a 3-2 lead over the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. If they win another game in the series, they will clinch their fourth title.

Steph Curry has carried the Warriors to an extent in the finals. He is averaging 30.6 points per game, despite his 16-point performance in Game 5. On the other hand, Klay Thompson has only shot 38.3% from the field for an average of 18.0 points.

"I have never, ever seen anything like this professional relationship between Steph and Klay that has lasted now for 11 seasons. You have the 2 best shooters in the history of basketball on the same team and they get along famously."
