I'll go with Magic and Hakeem. You have both cornerstones your big man and your PG. You can fill the rest of the team with role players essentially and have a shot to win.

A pf that can defend and hit 15 foot jumpers = horace grant

athletic SG that can guard 1-3 and take on the tougher back court assignment = Aaron Affalo

SF that can shoot, rebound, and defend = Robert Horry (in his rocket days)

Magic/Hakeem


Kobe's ballhoggin ass would turn Duncan into Omer Asik

A game of two on two between Magic/Dream and Kobe/Duncan in their respective primes

I would have to go with Magic/Dream just barely over Kobe and Duncan. They are the most versatile duo. There's not really much that you would need that they couldn't give you on the court.

Kobe/Duncan. Put Kareem in there alongside Duncan, game over.

 

[Regular_P]

Kobe/Duncan. Those two would fit perfectly.

Magic/Hakeem


Kobe's ballhoggin ass would turn Duncan into Omer Asik

Yeah because Kobe turned Shaq and Pau into Asik type of players and never won a thing with them.

Chose Magic Hakeem. But the goat combo would be Kobe-Hakeem. That is like 15 championships in a row
