    Bill Russell (Celtics) + Bob Cousy (Celtics)
    Julius Erving (76ers) + Moses Malone (Rockets -> 76ers)
    Steph Curry (GS) + KD (OKC -> GS)

    This is only the 4th time, but great players make it work. I have the same concerns as everyone else, but history is on our side. That is usually never the case.

    If it was two MVPs together on any other team all the media would be drooling over it.

    I want so badly to say something about how it’s only 1 legitimate MVP. But he’s our illegitimate MVP now.

    seems like a pretty small sample size; i'm sure there's a freakonomics argument somewhere. But i'll take it!

    In that case we should have stood pat because we have the *true* MVP from 17-18-19 already on the squad...that's 3 MVPs.

    67-15 teams also won the chip 100% of the time...until the '17 Rockets....

    Though how funny would it be if WB0 and Beard win a chip together and people start wondering whether OKC should have let Durant go in 2012? :D

    Edit: 65-17, not 67-15

    Remember when we all said that Westbrook wasn’t the true MVP, that his numbers were artificially inflated to boost his odds of winning the award?

    We were correct.

    Remember when we said that anyone who voted for Westbrook's historic statistical season over Harden's best-player-on-the-best-team should be forced to vote for Harden over Giannis this year?

    Also correct.

    Shaq + Karl Malone?

    Kobe Bryant + Steve Nash?

    Those duos didn't win a title.
