Give me peak Manu and AD.

I probably wouldn’t go any lower, otherwise, I’d just prefer MJ.

But this basically gives me an awesome offensive guard and a do it all defender, who is a great play finisher.

Let's see. Michael Jordan was on a team with #32 Scottie Pippen. They won 6 titles.

In modern NBA all of these players would be on max contracts. So we're talking career championship equity for 2 players vs. 1 GOAT candidate.

First of all... How many championships does Jordan win on an average team? It feels like he'd be more down at 3 or 4ish like LeBron.

Stockton and Malone are 19/31. Curry and Draymond are 11/51. Duncan and Manu are 5/39.

It feels like the break point to get 3 or 4 championships would be around 20s or 30s on the current list.

I feel like Nash + Giannis or KD gets you 3 or 4. Does Kidd + Ewing? Maybe??

I'll say top 30.
