Watch Colin Cowherd count down his rankings of the top 10 teammate duos in the NBA.
10. Luke Doncic and Kyrie Irving
“They play no defense, NONE, but offense is about 70% of the league. Luka leads the league in scoring, and Kyrie is shooting over 50%.”
9. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George
“They’re both excellent defensive players AND good offensive players. I would take them in a series over Dallas because they can make stops and Dallas won’t.”
8. Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland
“Donovan is averaging 27 a game, not much of a defense player, and Garland is a rising star— he’s fantastic. Cleveland is a year away, they’re one of the better watches in the NBA.”
7. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray
“I don’t trust Jamal Murray in a big spot. I know I should trust this team but I don’t. Some guys are great regular season players but not in the postseason.”
6. LeBron James and Anthony Davis
“AD has already missed 24 games this year, now LeBron is hurt— if healthy, you could argue that they’re number one or two but they’re never healthy.”
5. Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo
“Adebayo is having his best year as a pro, 21 a game, very good defensive player, and Jimmy Butler is averaging 22. This team leads the NBA in one-possession wins, 13, so they’re a great team in close games.”
4. Giannis and Jrue Holiday
“Giannis is the best player in the league. I like Jrue Holiday, he’s one of the ‘get a bucket guys’, but this is a Giannis story. He is the best offensive and defensive player in the NBA.”
3. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown
“Sometimes I think Tatum doesn’t quite have the ‘it’. Jaylen Brown is the better athlete, and Jaylen Brown I feel is more aggressive, but they’re phenomenal.”
2. Kevin Durant and Devin Booker
“On any given night you’ll have the best shooting guard, and best shooting player on the planet, they’re fantastic.”
1. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson
“Best backcourt in history. There is no backcourt in NBA history that can drop 15 points, come back from 12 down, or have a 4-point lead become 19 faster, and they have championship moxy, experience, clutch performances, and IQs off the charts.”
