1. Durant and Westbrook











Pippen and Jordan

Shaq and Kobe









Wade and Bosh









The rest

I don't know, I think prime Oscar and Kareem is equal to Magic/Kareem.

Consider older Oscar/Kareem over 4 seasons:

66-16, championship
63-19, lost to Lakers in WCF
60-22, lost to Golden State first round
59-23, lost to Boston in 7 finals

Oscar was 2nd-4th leading scorer and the leading assist man on those teams. When Oscar retired, the team won 38 games.

Now replace that with a prime Oscar and you're looking at probably 3 titles in 4 years.

Oscar is underrated on ISH.

Walton led his team to a chip, won an MVP and FMVP and made a couple of All NBA Defensive First Teams. Injuries cut short a GOAT career, he's mad underrated here.

Anyone who played their prime in the 70s (except for Kareem) is underrated here.

[Rocketswin2013]

Tim and DRob
Shaq and Dwade
Shaq and Kobe
Bird and Walton
Big O and Kareem
Magic and Kareem
Clyde and Hakeem
DR. J and Barkley

Top to bottom tough as hell but I think I have it right. Timmy D and D Rob would simply have a ridiculous field day on every frontcourt in NBA history.

EDIT: Forgot Big O and Kareem somehow.

[Andrei89]

Shaq and Wade both in their primes?

Game over!!

[Milbuck]

1) Shaq and Kobe
2) Shaq and Wade
3) Kareem and Magic
4) Duncan and Robinson
5) Kareem and Oscar
6) Dr J and Barkley
7) Bird and Walton
8) Drexler and Hakeem

No Michael and Scottie anywhere? I'd probably take peak Jordan and peak Pippen over Bird/Walton and Drexler/Hakeem, I think they deserve a mention.

The reason I didn't include MJ and Scottie or LeBron and Wade is because their primes more or less coincided with their partner's in crime, I listed players where one was in his prime and the other is either too old or too young.
