    Saw this on NBA TV and thought it would be fun to discuss. Assume all duos are in their primes.

    I'm going with Jordan/Pippen vs. Magic/Kareem in the final.

    Magic/Kareem win the title in 7 games. :cool:

    If Nash/amare is on there, Hakeem drex deserve to be also. They won a chip.

    Absolutely.

    Can't see Nash/Amare winning anything only playing one end of the floor.

    It's just too bad Drexler joined Dream later in his career.

    Drexler / Porter
    Hardaway / Richmond
    Shaq / Penny ​

    Future tier:

    Curry / Thompson
    Lillard / Aldridge
    Harden / Howard ​

    Why are non-championship winning duos on there?

    NBA is probably appealing to their younger demographic.

    Would've really liked to have seen McGrady and Hill with no injuries in their prime.

    I'd take Bird and McHale over Durant and WestBrook because Bird could do anything and If Bird is having an off night just give McHale the ball in the post and let him do his job.

    It will come down to Jordan/Pippen vs Magic/Kareem.

    I know it is up for discussion but how do those duos advance?

    Fantasy BBall rules? You could just say Jordan and Pippen vs Kareem and Magic in the Finals without having to go through the brackets

    Dream/Drexler would have been stronger than most of the duos in this bracket.
