Although a lot of the guys you posted could become great, some of them are just question marks. you cannot say guys like Ming, Wagner, Dunleavy and Jay Will are aleady a part of a great duo when they havent even played a game yet. And I didn't mention Brand and Odom because they did not play that many games together in Brand's first season witht he CLipps. The rest of your list I agree with.

Well Webber and Peja are both all-stars and Peja had a much better season than Bibby last year so thats why I put him in instead of Bibby. If Bibby continues to play like he did in the playoffs last season, than I agree he is a better player than Peja.

when im thinking dupo im thinking two players who play off each other not just two talented players on the same team, shaq and kobe are number one no doubt, all time its stockton and malone though, they still are probably number 2 in the league, nash and dirk are gettin up there.

all the other duos mentioned are just two ogod players who play on the same team(maybe not webber and bibby)

MJ and Rip were good last year. They averaged over 40 ppg. They definitely weren't even close to the best though.

Other possible good ones are...
Kirilenko and Stevenson
Qyntel Woods and Zach Randolph, once Sheed and Bonzi are gone (retired, signed with other teams or traded)

But you forgot one of the greateset ever...Stockton and Malone!

I think it is webber and bibby not webber and peja. Bibby and Webber are the ones that run the pick and role and junk.
But Webber and Peja put up the points during the whole regular season. That's why they were both All-Stars:yes: .

i gotta say mj and pippen too. maybe it's because i'm too young to have seen the some of those duos play (like cousy and russell and west and oscar).

How is everyone forgetting Q Rich and Darius Miles?

They probably play off of each other better than most of the tandems in the league.

-Tim
Well, part of the reason that they aren't mentioned is that they only combine to average about 22ppg. Plus they come off the bench for a lottery team. They will both be good, but I'm not sure they belong in any "best duo" conversation.

chandler and curry should be good, what was chandlers fg% last year?? everytime i saw a boxscore it seemed he had like 10 points on 6 shots or somethin, he makes the most of his shots, from what ive seen.
That's because all of his shots are dunks.

As soon as he gets older and develops a wider array of shots, he'll be a good player.

kobe/shaq
mj/pip
kareem/magic
wilt/west
russ/hondo
west/baylor
bird/mchale
russ/cous
stockton/malone

i'm torn at the top. kareem/magic i'd put below the other 2 because their primes didn't coincide enough, imo. kobe/shaq is the most complete, inside/outside, defense, balanced scoring, rebounding. jordan/pippen were more 1 sided offensively (jordan carrying the bulk of the load, although pippen was a pretty good scorer). defensively they were dominant, but on the perimeter (altough they certainly could disrupt an entire offense). jordan the best ever makes it a tough call.
