    Default How would you rank these big duos?

    76ers duo; 1966-67 Wilt Chamberlain + 1982-83 Moses Malone
    Celtics duo; 1961-62 Bill Russell + 1986-87 Kevin McHale
    Knicks duo; 1969-70 Willis Reed + 1989-90 Patrick Ewing
    Lakers duo; 1979-80 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar + 1999-00 Shaquille O'Neal
    Rockets duo; 1981-82 Moses Malone + 1993-94 Hakeem Olajuwon
    Spurs duo; 1994-95 David Robinson + 2002-03 Tim Duncan
    Warriors duo; 1961-62 Wilt Chamberlain + 1966-67 Nate Thurmond

    Not asking about sheer reputation, but their co-existing situations and expected performances if they were real.

    Most aren't old enough to remember these duos well enough to give a good ranking

    i'm going give it a try but this seems really hard especially when you account for fit and idk some of the older guys well at all..

    1 Duncan and Drob(pretty much here because they played together, also best combo on defense)
    2 Russell and Mchale(Seems like one of the best fits here)
    3 Hakeem and Moses(Hakeem has outside range which really helps)
    4 Kareem and Shaq(best talent on offense, fits ok together Kareem can play in the midrange area.)
    5 Wilt and Moses(similar to Hakeem Mosesbut Wilt has less range)
    6 Wilt and Thurmond(Thurmond not really on level of other guys besides McHale)
    7 Reed and Ewing(same with Thurmond, not sure how Reed fits with Thurmond)

    yea I'm not sure at all about these rankings.

    A lot of them don't fit. If one guy is dominant down low as a scorer, you want your other big to be more of a roamer, clean up guy.

    Give me Hakeem/KG all day. Ultra athleticism at the 4/5. Hakeem with the GOAT low post game and KG with the versatile D game and ability to hit that mid-range.

    Depends if Wilt's duos get to play against scrawny white midgets who play part time as a hobby
