76ers duo; 1966-67 Wilt Chamberlain + 1982-83 Moses Malone
Celtics duo; 1961-62 Bill Russell + 1986-87 Kevin McHale
Knicks duo; 1969-70 Willis Reed + 1989-90 Patrick Ewing
Lakers duo; 1979-80 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar + 1999-00 Shaquille O'Neal
Rockets duo; 1981-82 Moses Malone + 1993-94 Hakeem Olajuwon
Spurs duo; 1994-95 David Robinson + 2002-03 Tim Duncan
Warriors duo; 1961-62 Wilt Chamberlain + 1966-67 Nate Thurmond

Not asking about sheer reputation, but their co-existing situations and expected performances if they were real.

Most aren't old enough to remember these duos well enough to give a good ranking

i'm going give it a try but this seems really hard especially when you account for fit and idk some of the older guys well at all..

1 Duncan and Drob(pretty much here because they played together, also best combo on defense)
2 Russell and Mchale(Seems like one of the best fits here)
3 Hakeem and Moses(Hakeem has outside range which really helps)
4 Kareem and Shaq(best talent on offense, fits ok together Kareem can play in the midrange area.)
5 Wilt and Moses(similar to Hakeem Mosesbut Wilt has less range)
6 Wilt and Thurmond(Thurmond not really on level of other guys besides McHale)
7 Reed and Ewing(same with Thurmond, not sure how Reed fits with Thurmond)

yea I'm not sure at all about these rankings.

most aren't even old enough to have watched ANY of these players, including 2003 Duncan :ohwell:

A lot of them don't fit. If one guy is dominant down low as a scorer, you want your other big to be more of a roamer, clean up guy.

Give me Hakeem/KG all day. Ultra athleticism at the 4/5. Hakeem with the GOAT low post game and KG with the versatile D game and ability to hit that mid-range.

Depends if Wilt's duos get to play against scrawny white midgets who play part time as a hobby
