Best duo to ever play together

[superjohn]

I'll kick it off with Akeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler, shocking they never won it all with the Cougars.

 

[Marat]

Not sure but from UConn:

Hamilton / El-Amin

Okafor / Gordon

Walker / Napier

It would be hard to say which pair was better.

 

[Deepster]

Diana Taurasi and Penny Taylor?

Not sure but from UConn:

Hamilton / El-Amin

Okafor / Gordon

Walker / Napier

It would be hard to say which pair was better.

Should be Kemba / JLamb, no?

And I'd argue you had the right order the first time...

 

[HuskyHawk]

Based on the other thread, I'll throw out Chris Mullin and Walter Berry.

James Worthy and Michael Jordan would have to rank near the top.

 

[Horatio]

Selvie and Super Tone
AJ and Dyson in the beginning of the 2009
Season
Run / DMC
Bob Marley / Peter Tosh
Guru / Premier

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Beyonce and Coldplay

 

[CTBasketball]

Jameer Nelson and the one and only Delonte West.

 

[DogBoy]

The Funkel Brothers Simon & Gar

 

[Horatio]

Jameer Nelson and the one and only Delonte West.

Great pick

 

[intlzncster]

Diana Taurasi and Penny Taylor?

The fact you know who Penny Taylor is makes me chuckle.

 

[intlzncster]

Really, really hate to put it out there, but Laettner/Hurley was pretty damn strong. Hurley/Grant Hill too.

I've got to go wash scrub off the scum now.

Shoulda stopped with Selvie and Tony. /end thread

 

[Scoe]

Ruth and Gehrig

 

[InKembaITrust]

Of recent memory...

Anthony Davis/Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

Joakim Noah/Al Horford

Jahlil Okafor/Justice Winslow

 

[Matrim55]

Best duo in UConn history was Ray+Doron IMO.

 

[Husky25]

Plastic Man and Gran-mama.
Gathers and Kimball (Sentimental)

 

[CTBasketball]

A few recent others that come to mind:

Sam Dekker/Frank Kaminski
Ron Baker/Fred Van Vleet
Mike Conley/Greg Oden
Andre Miller/Mike Doleac

 

[Matrim55]

Vance & Vital! The Killer Vs raining fire from 3 for the rest of the decade...

 

[superjohn]

Best duo in UConn history was Ray+Doron IMO.

Better than Okafor Gordon? Best player in the country, best shooting guard in the country, #2 and #3 picks, and National Champions.

 

[thatguyed]

Tubbs and Crockett, they cleaned up all over South Beach.

 

[Matrim55]

Better than Okafor Gordon? Best player in the country, best shooting guard in the country, #2 and #3 picks, and National Champions.

Yup, by a nose. Because everybody knows Taliek was the real star of those 2002-2004 UConn teams.

 

[Excalibur]

Better than Okafor Gordon? Best player in the country, best shooting guard in the country, #2 and #3 picks, and National Champions.

I'd put Ray and Doron behind Okafor/Gordon and Rip/KEA. I may even have Rip/KEA as the best duo overall. In the two years they were together as the top two players on the team, we won two Big East titles, went to the Elite 8 and won a National Championship.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Adrien / Thabeet were a pretty dominant inside presence in 2009.

Not the best duo in UConn history, but probably my favorite.
