Article is a little old, but I just recently came across it. Not sure if it was posted before.

For me, the list should start with either Dumars and Thomas or Magic and Scott.

I am happy the Harper/Blackman combo was recognized as they were a great combo that very often got disregarded.

Surprised I didn't see Hardaway/Richmond combo, and hopefully will see a Wall/Beal combo in the future, but that would take a lot of things going right.

Thomas/Dumars would destroy any of those duos.
