I'm going to show you guys a series of historic NBA duos from across the decades of NBA history.

And we're going to put them into your list from S through F. So some of these are the best of all time. Some are nowhere close to that. They're F tier. Somewhere in the middle. We'll get a gauge of the entire history through NBA duos. Perfect. First off, we have the goats on here. So I guess we can start magic and cream. Clear S tier? Clear esteer. Got to be. Clear ester. Yeah. Yeah. Like you, you are out here. You are winning chips. You are defining your era. You are defining your team and your franchise for years to come. Yes. It's pretty cool when a duo has has both their players at one point were best player in the world. Like they took turns. That's pretty rare amongst all these duos. So that might make the number one to me. That's just a cool thing that nobody else has on here.

Yeah.

I agree. point we're best player in the world like they took turns that's pretty rare amongst all these duos so that might make them number one to me that's just a cool thing that nobody else has on here yeah yeah when it comes to talking about thinking about the duos in NBA history they help set that standard and they set a rare standard too that's only been seen since them i don't know maybe one other time when it comes to being the best in the world yeah okay well next one we, next one we'll do, Carson, I need your opinion on this, as you had the registered NBA historian in here. Joel and Beat and Ben Simmons. This is going to be F. I mean, I'm just thinking that's got to be the worst duo who we're going to see today. I would think so, but you never know. Well, I guess I'm, yeah, maybe I'm, but I feel like nothing.

Good.

I mean, Joel and B. does have like a top 20 big man peak of all time. So like he is carrying some weight here.

He does, but I just think like Simmons, even though I think that Ben Simmons retroactively gets underrated now because people hate him so much because of the contract because of, you know, the passing out of the layup against the Hawks, like all that stuff. He was still, don't. Okay, Doc. He was still giving like all-star level impact at this time. But like, again, I'm just holding it to a high standard.

And I feel like this is F compared to the alternative. Yeah, everybody on here. I'm not putting a team on here if they don't have a legend. So if one person is clearly not holding up during the bargain, they could be F. He's not. And then Ambide compared to most of the number ones, just with the massive playoff dropping. I still feel like he's not going to hold up to most of the number ones.

So overall,

especially in the years with Ben Simmons.

I think he got a lot better. with the massive playoff dropping. I still feel like he's not going to hold up to most of the number ones.

So overall,

especially in the years with Ben Simmons. I think he got a lot better. Got better after, post-Benz Simmons. But during those years of Ben Simmons, he legitimately wasn't like that top 15, 20 big man peak of all time. It was like Hardin and Butler, not with Hardin and everything that came after that. 22 to 24 points in 33 minutes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We made some real shitters,

I was going through my twitter uh back in i think the bubble

and i saw i said something crazy along the lines up i'd rather have bam on my team than joll

and b because of how poorly he he he played in the post season that year you were a reactionary 19 year old. That's crazy. Okay. Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. All right. So I mean, they have a third star. So how does that bring it in? They had, you know, not all these guys had a third star on their team. They did have a big three. But you do have a like this duo does get a ring so that that does elevate them to a certain many of them do on here

They could be bare minimum like they have to be C probably I think they're D man

I mean like D as well also their peaks

They did not play together at either of their respective peaks
