Which pair would you take at their peak?

I'd be sort of tempted to take MJ/George only because I think that the pecking order would be more firmly established and Wade/KD seem like they have more overlap in terms of both being great iso scorers but George's overall inconsistency sort of makes me lean towards the latter duo. Its one of those things you'd almost have to see it play out first imo. Its possible MJ/George would work better in a team environment.

Wade/Durant easily. Their games complement each others extremely well and covers for each other's weaknesses. Both don't need the ball to impact winning as KD is a great off-ball shooter while Wade a great off-ball cutter.

2009 Wade + 2014 Durant

Is it "same franchise duos" inspired?

Both seem to fit well, probably comes down to which gap is bigger Wade vs MJ or Gervin vs KD?

This is Paul George [Since all last names are being used].

Fair, not sure why Gervin popped into my head.

It's probably Wade/KD for me then. George's peak is worse than Pippen in my mind who's well below KD or Wade.

Jordan and PG, as Durant's lesser defense counts alot.

Wade/Durant. Jordan is the GOAT but to me the ranks are something like:

MJ

Wade
Durant

PG

PG is less talented than Durant and less reliable come post season. Butler or Kawhi would make it make harder and I'd probably choose MJ-Kawhi/Butler.

Two superstars is better than 1. Durant and Wade pretty easily.

I'll go with Jordan and Paul George. Better fit between their skillsets IMO + more defense + Jordan is the best player.
