Hakeem paired up with Drexler from 95 to 98. The Rockets had the opportunity to draft Clyde in 83 but passed over him ... for freakin' Rodney McCray.

Lebron and Amare vs Bosh and Wade is better than watching 3 of them on the same team. Just goes to show you how whack the Miami Heat team up was. Took all the competion out of the league. I'd rather see Chris Paul vs Dwight Howard as the two best players instead of them on the same team.
That would have been fun to watch.

Re: Superstars who should have been paired up
I would have loved to see Shaq and Ray Allen together from about 2000-2005. A deadly 3 point shooter would be a great fit with Shaq, especially since Ray could also handle the ball, create his own shot off the dribble, pass and play very effectively off the ball. Some might not call Ray a legit superstar, but he was at least close. I also don't see any debates over who should be "the man" on the team. From 2000-2002, Glenn Robinson was as much of the 1st option on the Bucks as Allen, and then they had Cassell who was a 3rd all-star caliber player who also had as big of an offensive role as Allen and even another scorer off the bench in Tim Thomas.
Despite being a clear second option in this situation, Allen would most likely be in more of a position to succeed as an individual because of less scorers to share the ball with provided the team was built similarly to the 3peat Lakers and he'd also seldom face double teams.

I would've love for Starbury to have stayed in Minesotta with KG and try to make it work with KG. THese two were pretty good coming up, they would've tear up the NBA at the time, and I believe they would've beat The Shaq-Kobe duo.

Scores would be 123 to 27.
It was hard enough scoring on one of them ...

Re: Superstars who should have been paired up
I remember back in 03 or 04 when j Kidd considered joining the spurs before resigning with the nets.
Judd and Duncan playing together in their primes would have been one of the greatest duos of alltime

I'm really surprised the duo of Wilt and Nate didn't do better...if only they had 1 more good player like Chet Walker or someone
