Kobe and Kwame? They combined for 82.

[@RWright2006]

@Franklin Clinton That was a joke.

[@bigbuckzliln]

KT Monte exactly

[@ebronjeremiah880]

KT Monte 😂 😂 😂 😂

[@UnknownFilipino]

hahaha

[@lucaslonchampt613]

Can we really call Parker and Duncan a duo? I feel like it's more of a trio with Ginobili

[@e-maniac2168]

yes you can

[@taylordry2908]

Cactus Jack Guy agreed

[@gazergazer7146]

Cactus Jack Guy true

[@Mrfullcourt30]

yeah they totally disregarded Manu on that one talk about left out

[@scalabrineplayoff3pt46curr7]

Cactus Jack Guy Parker and manu surpass Duncan and Parker in games played

[@CruisinThroughLife99]

You can't have Duncan and Parker without mentioning Ginobli. Just doesn't feel right.

[@thexeno6173]

Tony Parker and Tim Duncan should not be here. They were part of a trio with Manu.

[@e-maniac2168]

but they were still a dou

[@Mrfullcourt30]

Manu got left out here. why? no clue all l know is this is a trio not a duo

[@fortyseven1476]

The Xeno Parker and Duncan should not be a duo, it should always be With Ginobili

[@condog209]

lol mj and pippen had 2 trios with grant and rodman

[@shermanrobinson4293]

[@dionysise5008]

i dont think Kareem started to decline when Magic came in. He was dominant until 1985-86

[@likeatree-ei8it]

dionysis e Doc was a superstar. I was a superstar (Moses Malone). 83 sweep!

[@santinoanthonyz]

MTV's unbiased top 5 duo's. 5: dirk nowitzki and Jason Kidd 4: dirk nowitzki and Steve Nash 3: dirk nowitzki and Mark Cuban 2: dirk nowitzki and Spalding 1: dirk nowitzki and the net

[@alp21188]

[@sambolini7160]

DirK left hand, Dirk right, now he can have a threesome

[@ethanh4016]

[@user-cb6kq8qf1l]

Mathe-90 you mean dirk riders lol

[@alp21188]

Ethan H you mean number! I could say Chauncey billups is overrated and you can say one word 2004! What exactly does that mean??

[@lissetprieto2069]

I mean Shaq and Kobe where gods but they where not better than Jordan and pippen

[@devinsanidiot1150]

Yes they were.

[@joshuahaynes7128]

They didn't win as much but kobe is better than pippen and shaq was.to ... there has never been a duo like shaq and kobe .. both top 10 all-time players on the same fucking team just ridiculous man

[@thegreatarsene8771]

Lisset Prieto Kobe and Shaq are gods? What is higher than a God?

[@TheSham3223]

@@joshuahaynes7128 Can't really agree with Shaq and Kobe being better when they lost in the finals and came close to losing multiple times.

[@Logan-pq1vs]

Nah pippen is overrated and jordan was HONESTLY NOT BEING BUYEST overrated 2.

[@jamiezakharia9646]

[@giannibetancur2798]

Alex Chief how many duos do you think fit on a top 5 list

[@marcusmej6951]

Alex Chief who actually won a ring

[@Mrfullcourt30]

Alex Chief those are some pretty good examples cause honestly Nash and Stoudamire were basically modern day Stockton and Malone and I just love the Kemp and Payton duo Jerry and Wilt was another good one

[@ericthomas2131]

What's your point? It's a top 5 list

[@dominikmatic4032]

[@calvinbrown3232]

Can you make a pt2 for all videos pleaseeeeee

[@20DAVID09]

Tony Parker is so underrated. One of the best in history

[@churchservice2700]

20 DAVID 09...he's OK

[@f0rtyy815]

Not one of the best in history.... But definitely good. Right now though, he is way past his prime and well... he is getting overwhelmed by the warriors stacked team. Kawhi made a valient effort but in the end, Zaza Pachulia; the best player in nba history fucked kawhi up.

[@lucaslonchampt613]

20 DAVID 09 I'm a frenchman, and I'll never, ever, say that Parker is one of the best ever. He's good, without a doubt, but not that good

[@churchservice2700]

A lot of people get confused on the concept of a basketball duo...for example Moses and Dr. J were a duo...Jordan and Pippen (FROM '95,'96,'97,'98) were a duo...Karl and Stockton were a duo...Shaq and Kobe (from '03 to '04) were a duo...Garnett and Pierce ('07 to '08) were a duo...LeBron and Wade were a duo...Durant and Westbrook ('14 to '16) were a duo...Durant and Steph are a duo...Harden and CP3 are about to be a duo...what's the pattern?...the two players in each duo were BOTH superstars at some point of THEIR PRIMES when they were playing with each other...I don't think that's hard to understand...the best duo in the modern era was Jordan and Pippen

[@adrekalue4003]

do a top 5 duos currently

[@devinsanidiot1150]

Um Kobe and Shaq beat them#facts

[@pikkagtr1942]

KoME and fat Shaq have 6 titles? ...erm wait own 2 3peats?...erm wait won 72 games...erm wait they did cheat their way out of being beaten down by the Kings in 02 WCF though David Stern shoulda been the real MVP that series....27 Fts in the 4th....SMMFH

Kobe & Shaq numero 1 if they go 2v2 kobe and shaq would win

What a disrespect to Stockton-Malone. The kind of communication these two had is unmatched.

oh hell ya

[@yashwantsinha6755]

I highly dislike the lack of video consistency

[@Notdavon]

do the best big 3 top 10

[@kyrieswerving6815]

DO live stream Trivia again

[@BerkSonmez69]

Bron and wade?

[@bamlakbekele6494]

you forgot bosh

[@thegreatarsene8771]

berk sönmez And Allen...

[@BigSmoke-ud1wd]

berk sönmez it was trio

[@g412bb]

Talking about the 1996-1998 Bulls defensive stats without even mentioning Rodman? Sure Mike and Scottie were great defenders but Dennis did a lot of the dirty work during those years.

[@pikkagtr1942]

Pip SHUT down players...Guards were TERRIFIED of MJ they were all on the All NBA first team Defense so they were all equal BUT I'd say in terms of individual defense...no one tops MJ

[@m4assassin976]

First video you've gotten right

[@barneyyruizzy5903]

what about the big four in the bay?

[@blvckmamba-ex7hj]

Top 10 trios in history

[@treynoname2894]

they uploaded

[@Calilou52]

Jordan and pippen are #1 cmon now

[@tanner2k405]

Bird and McHale? Anyone? Awesome list besides that!!

[@Madvillainy48]

Duos are over. These days you need trios and quadruplets.

[@matthewmenezes3321]

part 2

[@matthewcollie6936]

@STB: My top 5 is 1. Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen 2. Karl Malone and John Stockton 3. Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant 4. Tim Duncan and Tony Parker 5. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson

[@drewrowell]

Jordan and Pippen should be #1

[@ridhowiranatakusumah6531]

They like not duo they like hero and side kicks

[@WhelmedButReady]

I'm officially triggered, I mean I know people don't like to crown MJ the king of everything basketball. But last I checked 6 rings double 3 every day of the week, and UNDEFEATED I might add

[@Bigedub101]

Me too...Pippen and MJ is easily #1

[@pedaburl7986]

You got #1 right, by far Shaq and Kobe had feud, but on the court, they were kinda like bros, and they made the Lakers of the early 00s one of the more dominant teams ever

[@DbD32]

Deron Williams and Joe Johnson even tho they didn't win a ring together they were pretty good

[@thepisceanlion4171]

Mixed Tape Videos It is an insult to have Shaq and Kobe above Jordan and Pippen. Without question Jordan and Pippen are the greatest defensive duo ever, and Jordan is again without question the greatest scorer ever. 30 PPG for his career (highest in NBA history) speaks for its self. And Pippen managed to lead the bulls to a 55 win season when Jordan was playing baseball. 6 finals appearances together, 6 NBA championships together. Not to mention Jordan is unquestionably the greatest clutch shooter of all time (go ahead, check the stats) and both of these guys are reliable free-throw shooter's. If you seriously prefer Shaq and Kobe over Jordan and Pippen, then you know nothing about basketball.

[@pikkagtr1942]

take that for data

[@sircartier3782]

Instead of Tony Parker and Tim Duncan change Parker for David Robinson I'm pretty the what is name was

[@sircartier3782]

AND plus Dwayne Wade and Lebron but it's more a trio beacause of Bosh but lebron and Dwayne should be at least in Top 10

[@rigovalencia8805]

01 Lakers team was Young Kobe w/ Prime Shaq... & Kobe was still That Dude. Thats nuts.

[@ariannabolton8508]

Kobe Shaq, JORDAN Scottie, Magic Kareem,Stockton Malone, Duncan Parker

[@ledgnr197gaming5]

MTV= Monthly Taped Videos

[@fhg6379]

The list was perfect, however first place should go for MJ and Pippen and the second place for Kobe and Shaq

[@zorzpapadubi9761]

Lavar and Lonzo?!?!

[@jrclark1430]

im not a warriors fan but should curry and klay or dwade and bron please

[@thegreatarsene8771]

Jr Clark is an allstar team men...

[@Cristian-vm1bg]

shoulda been TIm and Manu. Or david and tim. Or any combination of any of those guys in all top 5 spots.

[@phinnsfan3853]

you just totally forgot about LeBron and D-Wade!!!!

[@christyclarke2735]

What about Larry Bird & Kevin Mchale? Together, they won 3 finals in the 80's. Bird was a 3-time MVP & Mchale was a 2-time 6th Man of the Year Award. I don't understand how they are not in the top 5.

[@sasagajic9189]

James and Wade need to be on this list

[@ridiculousrick6897]

Do Karl Malone vs Tim Duncan comparison

[@alexbernhardt56]

Wade and Lebron?

[@dontlookatmyprofilepicture1030]

Grandmaster Bushido Brown oh so the could include Tony Parker and Tim Dincan with no Manu, but not lebron and wade? 😑🖕

[@jkgamingandsinging2615]

its a trio dont forget bosh

[@didummuomot4579]

Davanta Horner it was but wade and lebron were better so there was a trip and a duo

[@Manits69]

What about steoh and kd they were a beast duo

[@RookieGaming13]

Lebron and Wade

[@George-lv6iy]

RookieGaming13 it was a trio

[@didummuomot4579]

RookieGaming13 KD and Curry

[@rjrolex9736]

Didmu kd and curry suck

[@julianlang6807]

smush and kwame

[@Jhd306ck]

Where’s Bill Russell and Larry Bird also Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars

[@therealyonex532]

noah thumbnail photobomber

[@raymondsantiago2411]

Ok so we going to act like Steve Nash and Stoudemire never destroyed with each other as a duo?

[@chazoneal2141]

I think Bill Russell & Bob Cousy should be on this list or even Wilt & Jerry West

[@alexanderbloch8468]

javale mcgee and Zaza pachulia they won a championship together :D

[@petsvideo3132]

wade and lebron, west and chamberlain and sam jones and bill russell

[@ja2pin]

On these standards, surely Bob Cousy and Bill Russell, as well as (if we're including duos with no championships) Elgin Baylor and Jerry West would qualify. Or did basketball begin after the 1960s?

[@clifflawrence7479]

There are so many of the older legends that are before my time but I feel they are left out. The big o and kareem. Jerry west and elgin baylor or Jerry west and wilt Chamberlin

[@jaimegarcia5382]

Lebron and D Wade the greatest NBA Duos of all time

[@thegreatarsene8771]

Jaime Garcia the greatest trio of all time...

[@AtodaZ23]

Were Duncan and Parker really a duo though? It was more of a trio imo. I consider a team having a dynamic duo when there are 2 clear cut best players on the roster. That's why Magic and Kareem could be considered a duo cause they were clear cut the best players. There isn't a big gap between Parker and Ginobili.

[@jspurs22]

Duncan and Parker broke a lot of records

[@francesrichardson4915]

the disrespect for Karl malone and Stockton at 5

[@richardukenna-izuwa4839]

No one should be above the goat and ultimate lockdown defender

[@jerrysmith2354]

I dont see LeBron on the list? And if youre talking Mj and Pippen, you Karl and John + Shaq and Kobe were better DUOS. Not as good teams, but as a DUO, Id easily put those 2 above Mj and Pip.

[@markanderson3669]

Switch one and two

[@chazoneal2141]

And I can't forget about Kareem & Oscar Robertson

[@raofficial]

i say mj and pippen should 1 because on and off the court both they were bros and also they both connected together so well and pippen was the last piece mj needed to go to the finals

[@wesimsaid1159]

I'm not saying they should have been in the list but lebron and Wade were a good duo

[@spacehulk6178]

kd and steph have the Potential to be in Top 5

[@HopefulKingsFan]

West and wilt should have been on here. And vince and tracy is an honorable mention. Also kareem is the goat not mj

[@whiteperson180]

Thank you for saying Kareem the goat not mj

[@olgarussian2234]

kobe and shaq

[@danegramz7917]

Boi get parker and duncan tha hell out of there😤. Dude id be alright if it was david robertson but bruh tony, dyncan, and ginobli remember dat.

[@eikokaniken6662]

The 1 and 2 should switch place

[@eog5217]

James Worthy was part of the core too

[@isaiahhendrix7392]

Lebron and dwade weren't on here but john Stockton and Malone were 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@jerrysmith2354]

No shit, John and Karl arguably the best duo of all time. With only those 2 guys and hornececk (because they rest of the Jazz team was trash), they nearly beat the Bulls twice. They shoulda went to game 7 if they called Jordan pushing off. And the Bulls team was fleshed out with solid players, where the Jazz only really had John Karl and Jeff.

[@likeatree-ei8it]

#3 got swept in the 83 finals. 10 9 8 76ers!

[@roanflaherty8854]

You can't say Duncan and Parker are a duo they're a trio with ginobili

[@chadcas]

Stockton and Malone are where Shaq and Kobe should be on this list.

[@jaylenmontgomery7912]

don't dis my nigga ginobli like this ever again... that is all
