Best one two punch in NBA

[splashbrothers]

I take Lebron and Kyrie

[Quotatious]

When healthy, Durant and Westbrook are clearly the best. Both are top 5 level talents.

Homer pick - Aldridge and Lillard.

So the way I see it is that of the 4 players (when healthy)

1. Lebron
2. Westbrook
3. Durant
4. Irving

I think the gap between 2, 3, and 4 is pretty small while Lebron's gap with Westbrook is bigger.

[Goudelock]

Durant and Westbrook (This assuming both are healthy). With the immortal duo of Swaggy P and Linsanity as a close second

The gap between a healthy Durant and Kyrie is small? That's absurd.

If all 4 are healthy

1. Lebron
2. Durant

3. Westbrook




4. Kyrie.

In this era, there have been exactly 3 superstar duos - Shaq/Kobe, LeBron/Wade (2011 only), and Durant/Westbrook.

Only Durant/Westbrook today are both superstars on the same team. Kyrie is good but nowhere near Westbrook. Same with Klay.

[NinjaSheppard]

Honestly, I don't think Blake is the second best player on the Clippers.

Anyways Westbrook/Durant would have been the clear choice even before Westbrook upped his game

[GYK]

Durant/Westbrook
Durant when healthy is the best in the league. Westbrook is amazing. They need to win it all. They could possibly be the best duo all time.

Blake is underrated. When he comes back he needs to take on a bigger scoring role. I think it'll improve the team as well. More pressure on him. Less on Paul so he can't be focused in on helping everyone else on scoring.

Honestly, I don't think Blake is the second best player on the Clippers.

That is a pretty bold statement but I do think it's more of a trio than a duo.

[J Shuttlesworth]

I think most people in this thread are just going based off raw talent, and not necessarily fit.

Kyrie has been playing the best ball of his career alongside LeBron. LeBron is playing more of a traditional PG role, which isn't really Kyrie's strength. It works great because it allows Kyrie to truly be the undersized SG that he is.

In theory, Westbrook and Durant SHOULD work, but I think Westbrook tries to be "the man" and takes more shots than he should when Durant should be closing games. KD is an excellent off ball player, but I think he'd benefit more playing with a PG like CP3.

I thought the KD/WB thing was dispelled a while ago? They play amazingly together, they have won over 70 percent of games together.

[andrewww]

This is KD/Westbrook.

[Porzingis]

This year curry & klay because everyone else listed didn't played enough games together this season. GSW record speks for itself. LeBron/Kyrie are close 2nd tho

[Laimbeer]

LeBron and anybody on this list.

He's clearly the best player and that's more important than the second banana gaps. I won't bother with Paul and Griffin, because they really aren't in the conversation.

LeBron

Westbrook
Curry
Durant

Kyrie
Thompson

[chrismikayla]

I have KD and Westbrook when both are healthy

Ok probably that was not a correct statement on my part. Both Westbrook and Durant are considerably better than Irving. My point is Lebron is so much better than anyone else that you team him with a all star point guard and that I feel is the best duo

[bondom34]

I've got massive respect for Lebron, as much as anyone, but I really, REALLY think people are forgetting how good a healthy Durant is if that's the thinking.

[PaulieWal]

I agree. If healthy KD/RW are better than any duo in the league IMO.

[Swagalicious]

Durant when fully healthy is > everyone on that list and Russ is pretty much on par or at least comparable with whoever comes afterwards

[splashbrothers]

How is Durant better than lebron?? This is absurd
