08Lebron/04Duncan Vs 02Kobe/06Dirk Vs 03Tmac/11Dwight

Same as my last thread. Which duo would you take for a one season+Playoff run

03Mac/11Dwight
02Kobe/06Dirk
08Lebron/04Duncan
It will always be easier to find role players to cover up your stars defensive deficiencies than it will be to find guys that can cover up your stars offensive shortcomings.

Bron/Duncan but Tmac/Dwight would be terrific as well

Kobe/Dirk does not do it for me, especially on defense (lacking a defensive big)

How is 2004 Duncan "far superior" to Dwight?

Because it isn't statiscally.

Offense. Dwight's offense is a joke espeically compard to ducan. He lost to the hawks that year despite being 8 wins better. He lost in the first round, he is horrible at making his teammates better. Duncan is the exact opposite.

The Lebron/Duncan duo for me. Even though I think Tmac and Dwight is the better fitting duo, Lebron and Duncan would fit pretty well too. Elite defense + elite offense + elite playoff performance

Tracy & Dwight sounds very appealing because of superior offense (No question, McGrady puts the combo above Bron/Duncan) and the inside-out combo.

However, history taught me that you never bet against Duncan. LeBron is also a far superior defender than Tracy has ever been, at any facet of it, while Duncan is at the very least comparable to D12. The gap between Mac & Dwight's offense and TD & Bron's offense is much smaller than the gap between their defenses. LeBron and Duncan give me much better playmaking also. Mac was great in his own right but he was never quite LeBron-level in that regard and comparing Duncan and Dwight is just a joke.

You should take the 2nd combo out of the title. It's definitely interesting and championship-caliber, but doesn't compare to the other neither offensively nor defensively.

A joke?

Dwight averaged 23 a game, Duncan averaged 22

Plus how do you make "your teammates better"? Thats like the most misused phrase in sports. Dwight's team was trash

Duncan's ability to score on his own>>>>>>Dwight's ability to score on ihs own

the hawks were LETTING dwight beat them, because his passing game sucks so much . He made history wih motst turnovers or something in that series.
