Redoing the 1992 NBA Playoffs in a 2-on-2 Tournament Format 

Post#1 » by SelakStreet » Wed Aug 20, 2025 10:59 pm

i've decided to re-do the 1992 NBA playoffs, but in a 2-on-2 Tournament format, and each duo are based on the star players who each had a signature Marquee Shot special move in Bulls vs Blazers And The NBA Playoffs from both the Super NES and Sega Genesis versions. here are the duos below:

Eastern Conference teams:
#1 - Chicago Bulls: Michael Jordan & Scottie Pippen
#2 - Boston Celtics: Larry Bird & Reggie Lewis
#3 - Cleveland Cavaliers: Brad Daugherty & Larry Nance, Sr.
#4 - New York Knicks: Patrick Ewing & Gerald Wilkins
#5 - Detroit Pistons: Isiah Thomas & Dennis Rodman
#6 - New Jersey Nets: Derrick Coleman & Mookie Blaylock
#7 - Indiana Pacers: Chuck Person & Reggie Miller
#8 - Miami Heat: Glen Rice & Vernell Coles

Western Conference teams:
#1 - Portland Trail Blazers: Clyde Drexler & Jerome Kersey
#2 - Utah Jazz: Karl Malone & John Stockton
#3 - Golden State Warriors: Tim Hardaway & Billy Owens
#4 - Phoenix Suns: Kevin Johnson & Tom Chambers
#5 - San Antonio Spurs: David Robinson & Terry Cummings
#6 - Seattle SuperSonics: Shawn Kemp & Ricky Pierce
#7 - Los Angeles Clippers: Danny Manning & Ron Harper
#8 - Los Angeles Lakers: Vlade Divac & Sedale Threatt

Eastern Conference 1st Round matches:
1: Jordan/Pippen vs Rice/Coles
2: Bird/Lewis vs Person/Miller
3: Daugherty/Nance vs Coleman/Blaylock
4: Ewing/Wilkins vs Thomas/Rodman

Western Conference 1st Round matches:
1: Drexler/Kersey vs Divac/Threatt
2: Malone/Stockton vs Manning/Harper
3: Hardaway/Owens vs Kemp/Pierce
4: Johnson/Chambers vs Robinson/Cummings

the later rounds will be determined based on how well each duo fare against the other in Round 1.
