"Not Michael Jordan, but it's Draymond Green and the Splash Brothers leading the NBA!": Warriors trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond lead the NBA in Playoff Win Percentage

Warriors’ Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson are all-time NBA Playoff Percentage leaders(min 100 games)

The Golden State Warriors are back in the playoffs after two years. Two years of being out of the playoffs made the team much more appreciative of the stage. Facing the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs, the Warriors have taken on a 3-0 lead.

A major reason behind their success so far has been the scoring put forth by Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Jordan Poole.

Draymond Green has been a pillar for the team, and the bench has been kicking in at the right time.

The Warriors having their core intact, with young players and experienced veterans is making them a force to be reckoned with. This Warriors core, along with Andre Iguodala has seen heights of success. They would like to replicate the same with the current team as well.

Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, and Stephen Curry are the three winningest players in NBA Playoffs

The NBA Playoffs, throughout the ages, have been a great way for players to prove how good they are. However, being great individually doesn’t take you too far in the playoffs. It is a team sport, and at the end of the day, you need a team to make you win a series.

When one thinks of the players with the highest win percentage in the playoffs, they may think it’s Michael Jordan or Bill Russell. However, it’s the Warriors’ trio of Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, and Stephen Curry that lead the NBA record books in that stat.

Both Green and Thompson have won 86 out of their 123 games(69.91%). Steph has won 77 out of his 112 games, putting him at 68.75%. MJ has a career 66.5% and Bill Russell, even with his 11 rings has a 64.5% in the playoffs.

Who would’ve thought, right?
