Which duo would you rather have?

[selrahc]

kobe and hakeem, easy.

[tpols]

Dirk Chamberlain would be unbeatable. Chamberlain to lock down the paint and rebound while Dirk closes games like wilt never could.

[nathanjizzle]

derrick rose and kyrie irving in the back court.

[Horde of Temujin]

Its tempting to take Shaq/Lebron but I have to go with Hakeem/Kobe.

[livingby3's]

Ill take Garnett and Duncan. that post D is probably too much for most to handle. then u get a decent perimeter defender who can shoot and some form of penetrations from your guards, should be a good show every night.

[ralph_i_el]

Bird and magic would be the most entertaining

[Vienceslav]

a) Jordan+Pippen
That happened ,right?
b) Lebron+Shaq
This also happened ,but would be crazy with present Bron and 00' Shaq.
c) Bird+Magic
Los Angeles Celtics or Boston Lakers?
d) Chamberlain+Dirk
Mountain lion death squat.
e) Garnett+Duncan
Happy mothers day.
f) Hakeem+Kobe
Why can't i hold all this footwork?
g) Barkley+Robinson
Best PF or all time , check the adjusted stats.

Yea I'm looking at Kobe + Hakeem over Shaq and LeBron. Shaq and Lebron could fit, but they wouldn't complement each other as well as some of the others.

[Rysio]

give me kobe + adam morisson. 2 rings together with adam only averaging 5 minutes per game.

The answer is easily Bird and Magic. Both are better than both of the guys you picked, they're smarter, they're more competitive, more all-around. Pippen and Jordan is easily right behind.

[AussieG]

Barkley and Kevin Johnson. I don't care if they never won a ring.. they were fun to watch and what got me to enjoy the NBA so much in the first place.

Not really fair. How come Jordan doesn't get a dominant big man? Yes, we know how well he did with Pip, but imagine the damage he could do with a dominant big man.

For sho, I'm keeping it decade, dominance, prime relevance ... who you guy's taking for these duos. And rank them.

Jordan and Hakeem

D-Rob and Barkley

Ewing and Pippen

Shaq and Iverson

LeBron and Garnett

Duncan and Kobe

Wade and Dirk

[Mr. Jabbar]

Anyone who understands complementary roles and basic basketball mechanics will chose the Kobe-Hakeem tandem. Not expecting lebron stans to understand though.

[The Choken One]

All great duos...and LeBron+Shaq & Kobe+Hakeem seem unstoppable, but the best option on this list is Magic+Bird. You've gotta be insane to not realize this.

With that said, I'd still take Kobe+Hakeem because Kobe is my favorite player, but Magic & Bird would destroy.
