With the NBA season underway this week I figured I would do a unique list. List and rank the best, exciting, or entertaining duos of this upcoming season. The criteria are vague but simple and it is “How entertaining they will be?” “How successful it can be?”, old and new guard credentials and their potential as a duo, so let’s begin with my honorable mention duos! Oh, spoiler alert NO KD & KYRIE sorry cannot reward that kind of partnership, maybe next year.
Honorable Mentions:
Chris Paul & Devin Booker (Suns)
Damian Lillard & Anfernee Simons (Blazers)
Franz Wagner & Paolo Banchero (Magic) (League Pass watch)
Tyrese Haliburton & Bennedict Mathurin (Pacers) (League Pass watch)
Cade Cunningham & Jaden Ivey (Pistons) (League Pass watch)
Joel Embiid & James Harden (76ers)
Trae Young & Dejounte Murray (Hawks) (League Pass watch)
Giannis Antetokounmpo & Jrue Holiday (Bucks)
Jalen Green & Kevin Porter Jr (Rockets) (League Pass watch).
