Top duo?
Fox Sports Net had one of its Sports List shows on and they listed the top "sports duos". This would be the best pair of teammates in pro sports. Their list included baseball, football, basketball and hockey. Some of the pairs were Koufax and Drysdale, Gretzky and Messier, Montana and Rice, Shaq and Kobe, etc. The number one rated teammate duo was Ruth and Gehrig. It would be hard to argue against that pair. So I thought I'd ask who we think would be the top five rated NBA duos. Fox had Stockton and Malone at the top for basketball and I don't think I could argue against that, either. Here's my five in order:
1. Stockton and Malone
2. Kareem and Magic
3. Cousy and Russell
4. Chamberlain and West
5. Jordan and Pippen
I couldn't include my all-time favorite, George Mikan, in there because he really never had another extraordinary teammate of this caliber - and this was the best duos, not individuals.
