    These must be in chronological order... There's no way Lin-Parsons and Yao-Tracy is better than Francis-Mobley.

    "Over the last couple of years" and "recent" don't mesh with Olajuwon & Drexler. Poorly written.

    Agree with number 3 through 5: T-mac and Yao can be argued but they had a real friendship off the court like the author states. Francis & Mobley was obvious, great chemistry on and off the court, true friendship. Same with Olajuwon & Drexler. I think if the championship team had been together longer, I could've seen Maxwell & Cassell or Max & Elie become real buddy-buddy. Those three actually had real chemistry in that Suns series.

    Not so much #2 because Artest and Yao never developed that chemistry on the court which they unfortunately also did not get the time for. #1 is just ridiculous, there's no chemistry on the court yet and unfortunately it's already been way too homosexualized, partly due to internet posts.

    Clearly in chronological order, not by depth of bromanceship.

    Yeah, Mobley/Francis is clearly number 1, easily, no questions asked - case closed.

    Depends what you mean by "better". Not as tight, sure - but definitely more homosexual.

    Franchise/Mobley is easily #1.

    They played ball together, dined together, hung out together, slept together, you name it. Best bros ever.

    Lin and Parson are getting awefully close to Francis and Mobley. I remember seeing one gif where Parson made another player move, so he could sit next to Lin.

    Give them three more years, and if Parson isn't traded, than we might have a new number one.
