Which duo would you rather build around?

Jason Kidd 2001 + Dwyane Wade 2006
Shaquille O'Neal 2005 + Devin Booker 2021
Charles Barkley 1993 + Jimmy Butler 2023
Steve Nash 2006 + Alonzo Mourning 2000
LeBron James 2013 + Amar'e Stoudemire 2007

I was tempted to go Nash - Mourning, but LBJ 13 is just on a different tier as a player to the rest here, and he gets a really good sidekick in Amare.

2013 Lebron is a little unfair here so I’ll Jimmy & Chuck. Getting some serious alpha vibes from them.

Might not be the right pick, but I've got a good feeling about Wade and Kidd. There is sort of a Jordan/Pippen dynamic there. I think they would cause opposing backcourts tremendous problems on both ends of the court.

Shaq and booker and not even close

I see a lot of "and it's not close" arguments around here lately. Is it a trend?

Yes, not even close to being the best pick.

Prime Lebron James is just a tier above everybody else. A healthy Amare Stoudimare would make a devastating duo.
