Duos

[Jaydumo20]

Not a typo.
The dynamic duo is a common product in a game where only 5 players are on the court at a time.
College ball has seen some classic duos.

I have many in my head but I'll pick a relatively forgotten one.... but one that wasn't forgotten at the time:

2003-2004 St. Joe's team: Delonte West and Jameer Nelson.
A well coached team with two of the most dynamic playmakers I've ever seen: A terrifying combo.

I know we've had some local pairs too that deserve some mention. But I'll leave the rest to you.

Name some classic duos in Cbb (and pro, if you prefer... Celtics fans) that you remember fondly, or not so fondly.

Didn't Nelson beat out Emeka for Player of the year? Emeka was my all time favorite. It did not sit well with me.

Channing Frye and Salim Stoudamire.

It's a bit of a deep cut, but I felt this Arizona duo was the Gordon/Okafor of the 2005 Tournament and picked them to win it all, which they came close to doing before blowing a 15 point lead in 3 minutes to Illinois in the Elite 8.

Yeah. It seems he won every award imaginable in 04

I haven't heard the name Salim stoudamire in ...well... in 20 years. He was nasty

Maddux+Glavine

 

[storrsroars]

While they rarely shared the court together, I'm calling it a duo as they were arguably the two most important pieces to get #5 (or, in case of second photo, #1)

MLB

Ruth and Gehrig
Griffey and Arod

Stanton and Judge
Judge and Soto
