 Jordan and Pippen is the dream. Six titles. Grant Hill and Tmac could have been great, but was not. Kawaii and George have been hurt. Big Dog and Ray Allen  didn't make it far.

 Tatum and Brown have been very good but no rings. What are some other examples that played together for at least three years good or bad?

 Surprisingly I think it's pretty rare to have two stud wings on the same team and I'm wondering if they're is any other  examples of champion dual wings.

 I would add Kawaii and Siakim to the list. I think Siakim was the second best player that playoff run.

 A weak argument could be Rip Hamilton and Price though we know the strength of that team was a ridiculously balanced starting five.

 Celtics are similar with more high end talent. Also Ray Allen and Pierce but KG was probably the best all around player.

I loved that team - four strong two-way players and a defensive juggernaut in Ben Wallace made them extremely versatile and able to apart the Lakers

Dr J and the ‘Secretary of Defense’ Bobby Jones?

Erving was a phenomenal offensive player and he wouldn’t back down on defense. Witness Larry’s neck. Bobby was solid on offense and earned his nickname. Jones was a PF but he ran like a wing. (Or rather I think he’s a wing in todays NBA).

Certainly some of the championship teams John Havlicek played on had another 2-way wing?

Similarly, does Wade count as a wing? His game was a bit of a hybrid one

 Yes. I forgot about Wade and LeBron that definitely counts.

Depends if they need to be the 2 best players, because I mean Durant and Klay did pretty well, though obviously Klay was the 3rd or 4th best player on those teams (still all star caliber though).  Same would apply to the 80's Sixers with Dr. J and Toney though Moses was obviously their best player. DJ and Gus were the leading scorers on the Sonics, though Sikma was better than Gus.  Bradley and Monroe were both top 4 players on the Knicks.   

The only 2 champions where the 2 best players were a SG and SF were the MJ/Pip Bulls and the Lebron/Wade Heat.
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

 You could arrange that Kawaii and Siakim as well.  I think Siakim was the 2nd best player in the playoffs.
