Greatest duos who never were

[NbaInsomniac]

Wrote a blog about Grant Hill and TMac; how we missed out a potential great duo. You can read it here on OS

Got me thinking about other all time almost twosomes that for whatever reason never got to see their potential developed.

A few come quickly to mind:

Bernard King and Patrick Ewing

Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning

Stephon Marbury and Kevin Garnett

I'd love to hear some others....

Greg Oden and Brandon Roy

This comes to my mind simply because Roy was one of my favorite players.

Oden and Roy
Roy and Lillard
Lillard and Oden
Penny and TMac
Penny and Shaq, Shaq left right after Penny's injuries, I believe, and they couldn't workout who was "the man"

Those mid 70's Knicks had tons of individual talent and never panned out. Could probably make a duo with 3 or 4 different guys.

Jerry West and Elgin Baylor

Stackhouse and Hill

Houston and Sprewell

Vince and T-Mac

Iverson and Webber

Iverson and Melo

Carter and Kidd

Shaq, Kobe, Malone, and Payton

Ming and T-Mac

Man, thinking about B. Roy and Oden makes me sad...they really had a chance to be special. They both had games that were throwbacks to the 70s and 80s. The smoothness of Roy, the paint dominance of Oden. Oden would be the best big man in the game right now.

Like people said...Oden-Roy would've been crazy to see.

VC-Tmac as well, could've been the best SF-SG duo in the NBA at the time.

VC-Bosh could've been another one too had VC stayed with Raptors. If Raptors had proper management, they should've had no problem building a team around a star big man in Bosh and a star SF in Carter.
