What is the best duo ever in basketball?

[Milbuck]

I would take 2001 Shaq and Kobe over any other duo.

15-1 in the playoffs, nuff said

01 playoffs stats
Shaq 30/15/3
Kobe 29/7/6

Swept the entire Western Conference playoffs 3-0 vs Blazers, 4-0 vs Kings, 4-0 vs Spurs. Then lost only one game in the Finals in overtime.

01 WCF vs Spurs the Lakers had the largest average margin of victory in Conference Finals history, and they didn't even have home court advantage.

Its Jordan and Pippen. That tandem led their team to the best record in the history of the league, the second best record, and the fifth best record. How many tandems can boast that?

15-1? Not bad over the course of 16 games over the span of about a month. But it doesn't hold a candle to 6-0 in the Championships they've played in.

I would take Shaq and Kobe against any of those duos.

Somebody should make a tournament thread involving the duos with a poll.

You're an intelligent poster. I trust you know what context means, and can figure out the answer to your own question.

[russwest0]

MJ and Pippen followed by Kobe and Shaq.

Context? What does context have to do with anything? They didn't win. Both players were in their primes. What's the reason? Or better yet excuse. Injuries? The Bulls won under thise circumstances as well.

[EnoughSaid]

All Time:

MJ & Pippen
Shaq & Kobe
LeBron & Wade

If Bron and Wade three peat and make the Finals for a 5th time in the future I'd say they are the second greatest duo of all time.

[HOoopCityJones]

Shaq and Kobe.

[Thorn]

One year run - 01 Shaq/Kobe
Overall: either Jordan/Pippen or Kareem/Magic
