    Daryl Morey is a genius for bringing in CP3. This pairing works.

    2 hall of fame point guards are enough to keep this juggernaut chugging all the way......

    This. Who else have 2 hall of famers?

    Isiah and Dumars. And maybe, Parker and Ginobilly.

    But at the end, its all about rings. If they can't win one, its all a moot point.

    Dumars was nowhere near the playmaker Harden or CP are. Not even close. Joe was a combo guard but nowhere near the playmaker.

    Gino and Parker are a ok comparison but again CP3 and Harden are better play makers Parker or Gino were but Gino in his prime was a great passer. so you cant sell him short

    I say yes but not bc of their play together, though that's not bad.. yes bc having one of them on court at all times makes it a really tough offense to stop

    Billups and Rip
    Sam Jones and Cousy
    Frazier and Monroe
    Magic and Copper/Scott
    Jordan and anyone
    Moncrief and Pressey
    Kidd and Penny
    Kidd and Carter
    Hardaway and Richmond
    Drexler and Porter
    KJ and Horny
    Stockton and Horny


    Yeah, Harden and CP3 probably only rivaled by IT and Joe D and Splash Bros. Both of those back court duos have 2 rings in 3 tries though. Both duos a single game away from being 3X champs.

    Based on advanced stats, i'd take a safe guess no one comes close to Harden and CP3 combined body of work.

    too bad Lowry caused Brooks to leave, and then Dragic caused Lowry to leave, and then Dragic left anyway and we are left with Jerry Lim. Sad timeline

    Maybe. I can't think of a more talented guard duo. Except maybe Harden and Westbrook in OKC, but Harden was playing at a far lower level at that point and didn't start.
