How would you rank the supporting casts of these championship duos:

91-93 MJ - Pippen
96-98 MJ - Pippen
00-02 Shaq - Kobe
09-10 Kobe - Gasol
12-13 Lebron - Wade
2016 Lebron - Kyrie
2020 Lebron - AD

20 lebron/ad. kcp was probably their third best player in the postseason.

They had a very strong supporting cast of role players in 20. Between McGee and Howard, they had elite rim protection/paint defense to supplement AD's defense. Great perimeter defense. Decent shooting. Kuzma was actually good that year. Rondo was amazing in the post season.

You don't win a championship without a stacked team. That goes for every championship team in the history of the sport.

True.

But this thread is gonna devolve into an agenda driven one in a few moments.

lebrons title teams had 6 or 7 guys every time that were once top scorers or leaders on other teams. and lol@anyone being picked over kobes 09/10 teams considering nba2k has never once had them represented in the historic teams section

No way in hell it was kobe/gasol because artest was like a borderline all-star still at that point. Maybe 09 though but ariza was pretty damm great as a role player as well.

Shaq kobe had Robert Horry the greatest role player ever, so it's no on them as well.

LeBron teams had superstar 3rd wheels like love and bosh, not even close there.

I have to go with 91-93 bulls because I always thought Horace was overrated and Cartwright is just a random shithead. Maybe BJ Armstrong I guess but I don't see how he's much better overall then Derek fisher, especially 2001 fisher when he wouldn't miss.

Good list. I'd make 1 change:



'96-'98 Jordan/Pippen
LeBron/Wade
Kobe/Gasol
LeBron/Kyrie
'91-'93 Jordan/Pippen
Shaq/Kobe
LeBron/AD

2012 LeBron/Wade was different from 2013 Lebron/Wade.

2012 Miller was better than 2013 Miller
2012 didn't have Ray Allen tho (albeit older Ray, but still Ray nonetheless)
2012 didn't have Chris Anderson
2012 had injured bosh (Missed many games completely and didn't start in 4 of them)

so if we're only judging based on 2012 it's definitely below '96-'98 Jordan/Pippen. 2013 was pretty up there though

Good job.

Lol, the closest thing lebron had of being in a duo is with AD. The heat were a trio. The cavs were a trio. Lebron had to make sure he atacked the deck. Duo’s wont do. Lol

Well, he's back to a trio with AD and Westbrook. Not working out too well for him so far though....

Cast offs and misfits that are literally starting or in the rotation on every single team both last year and this year.

Not one single player out of: McGee, Howard, Rondo, KCP, Caruso, Kuzma, Morris is out of the primary rotation or out of the league right now.

Shaq and Kobe easily had the worst but they had very smart role players which offset their lack of talent by playing the right way.
