Seems like a rare feet :confusedshrug:

how many times has this happened?

how many of these teams won championships?

Who was the last 2 players to do it?

Run TMC off the top of my head is the first team that comes to mind, but they didn't win a title doing it.

Last time was SHaq & Kobe

I think both were average between 27-30ppg for a couple of their Titles

Melo/Iverson

Did I dream of that?

I remember them being 1 and 2 in the league at PPG once.

Agreed. They should've missed the playoffs completely and saved themselves the embarrassment like prime Kobe.

Not making the finals > Losing in the finals, right?

actually he's right but not about it being the last time

Kobe and Shaq won titles averaging 28ppg each and won another title averaging 25+ ppg each

I doubt Mitch put up 25ppg on the Warriors with Mullin and I know Timmy didnt...

Perhaps Jim Jackson and Mashburn. I know they were at some point of their one good season together.

Others I know or suspect...

Goodrich and West
Baylor and West
Pistol Pete and Lou Hudson
Bird and Mchale

I bet Orlando Woolridge and Michael Adams both did in 1990.

Off the top of the dome? For sure these teams:

2011 Heat (LeBron & Wade)
2008 Nuggets (Iverson & Melo)
2007 Nuggets (Melo & Iverson)
2003 Lakers (Kobe & Shaq)
2002 Lakers (Shaq & Kobe)
2001 Lakers (Shaq & Kobe)

Other teams came close really close, 2012 and 2013 Thunder for starters. The Run TMC Warriors had like 3x mid 20 PPG scorers. That's really impressive. I think everone has been mentioned thus far though.

25+ ppg is elite volume scoring. To have 2x scorers of that caliber on the same team is extremely difficult from a chemistry perspective though too.

But OP didnt know who the last 2 were :lol

We get it, Bron fcuked it up in the Finals.

Adams also had a .530 TS% which isn't bad. And didn't make the AS game at 26.5ppg.
