Start a Franchise: Magic/Hakeem, Kobe/Duncan, or Bird/Shaq?

Thats what im saying. The best partnership out of all of these is Kobe/duncan. If you pick another combo then you dont know much about basketball.
Now if it was LEbron/Hakeem
:Magic/ dream >>>>>>>>>> *
hell even shaq/ larry legend >>>>>>

Like a C4.
What I like about the Kobe/Duncan combo is it leaves room to move Duncan to the 4 and assuming it's a draft, put someone like Roy Hibbert (assuming all other great centers are taken) at 5 and you'd have a great front court. If there are greats still on board, you take Kareem.

Out of those choices? Easily Magic and Dream. They're both better than their respective counterparts in the poll.
With Magic and Dream, you are left needing another go-to-scorer though. Magic's gonna run that team efficiently, but no one will be scared to leave him at the perimeter to double on Dream.
With Kobe and Duncan, you have to worry about Duncan coasting, and Kobe doing what he has to do to make up the difference.
I'd go with Shaq & Larry. The most lethal inside and outside, midrange, capable enough defenders. And Shaq coasting > Duncan coasting.

6 of the top 10 players ever
there really is no obviously right or wrong choice
it would depend on the rest of the role players if they played against one another

I'm voting for Kobe/Duncan just so Kobe can win the MVP and Finals MVP that season and I can watch my brother from another @Malta finally forced to back down on that argument
The Kobe Duncan thing was always funny to me because Duncan Stans always acted like Kobe wouldn't be the 1st Option on Offense if they Were on the same team

Lemme get the team that won 9 of the last 15 rings between the two.

There's two sides to the floor fam. Duncan anchors a defense. Kobe's impact while good on the defensive end, is not even close to Prime Timmy.
