    Question Were Stockton and Hornacek the "Splash Brothers" before Curry & Klay

    I swear these guys never miss ... playing NBA live 99 right now

    Pretty good at this game on superstar level and can even beat the All-Star teams with the mediocre Shawn Kemp led Cavs team, but guarding Stock and Horny together with Malone as the midrange option is more of a battle than guarding the Bulls because the computer always pulls up 3-pointers with Pippen instead of going to Player 99 as the first option

    They were very accurate from the perimeter, and very efficient.

    Stockton shot only when he had to - after every option was exhausted. Hornaceck had a great jumper, and routinely made circus shots with an underhand motion.

    But neither player were in their primes together - at best Hornaceck and Stockton were savvy, intelligent guards but they couldn't really take over the game scoring.

    Curry and Thompson on the other hand are younger and have more stamina, so they can carry offenses for longer stretches.

    "Uncle Splash" Dennis Scott and Nick Anderson would be a better pick from the 90s. They shot first and last from three cuz Shaq was always double-teamed.

    The combo that stuck out the most as volume shooting 3 pointers were Reggie Miller and Chuck Person. Although Reggie was more the Klay and Chuck was more the Curry in terms of skillset. In terms of volume obviously Reggie

    Curry/Klay were not even the first splash brothers of Warriors.... Chris Mullin & Mitch Richmond say hi! Tim Hardaway wasnt so shabby of a shooter either, run TMC!

    Good pick tho Richmond was more of a powerful scorer than a great long distance shooter. Mullin was a heady and clever scorer who also shot very well like Curry, but without that handle and the ridiculous range.

    Thompson may be more accurate from 3 but Richmond was the better scorer.

    Steph Curry aggressively looks to take threes. Stockton never pulled up off the dribble to take long range shots like that or used his dribble as a weapon to create his own jumper like that. Maybe he could have but it wasn't his style at all.

    Nope. Coincidentally, Golden State had another pair of the Splash Brothers...Mitch and Mullin but it was during a time where the 3ball wasn't that popular. Splash Brothers for the midrange, yes.
