 Chris Paul and Billups this year was working out amazing this year.

 Can anybody give me other all time examples of teo Great points playing together even if it was off the bench that's fine I'm just really curious.

 George Carl was playing Felton and Lawson together before the trade and that was also very effective.

 Any others?

Did you start watching basketball this year? Felton and Lawson?!?!

It's Frazier and Monroe and it's not even close.

Kidd, Kevin Johnson and Nash were all on one team.  (Suns 1996)

the Suns were always trying to go with 2 PGs at a time for a while.  After KJ retired, they went out and got Penny Hardaway and played him in the same backcourt as Kidd but thats when he started getting hurt all the time.

Nash, in his first go-around with the Suns, didn't do anything.  He was a basically an end-of-the-bench guy until he developed out of nowhere in 2001.  Took him 5 years (after being a 4 year college player) to do a thing in the league.  Then he became a Hall of Famer all of a sudden.

 Do you really need to take a shot like a little baby?

 No I have been watching hoops for 15 years and I didn't see Walt play cause I'm not that old that's why I asked the question Einstein. What a clown.

Wow, if you interpret that as "a shot" I am sorry.  I asked it as a fair question considering you just named two tandems from the past 12 months (that's why I asked the question), and one of them (Felton and Lawson) are two guys who won't, and never will sniff an all-star team.

BOB COUSY AND KC JONES were together for 5 years.

Cousy was a better pure point guard than any of you mentioned so far, and KC was a fine pure point guard who was a ridiculously ferocious defender. Think playoff Rondo every minute. Oh he won 8 titles as a player, 2 as a head coach, and 2 titles in college

I don't see Monroe as a 2 guard.

I think a pretty good combination was Payton & McMillian. Another was Price and Terrell Brandon.

How was Payton/Cassell? I'll go look that up now, but I remember that happening.

Kidd/Tery?
