The NBA has seen many excellent duos in recent years, although the duo led by Durant and Irving has been disbanded, but their dissolution has also created the duo led by Lukadoncic and Kyrie Irving, as well as the duo led by Devin Booker and Durant, and they instantly became the best duo in the league this season. However, fans in recent seasons have also hoped to see LeBron James play with players such as Kyrie Irving to become the best duo in the NBA. To this end, the US media "Fadeaway World" lists the ten pairs that fans now want to see in the NBA, and which pair is better.
10. Embiid and Jamorant
The Philadelphia 76ers or Memphis Grizzlies have a chance to play together by trading the opposing team's star. With Embiid on the offensive inside, Jamorant will also be easy, and it will also be easier when Jamorant breaks through the opponent's inside. In fact, it feels that Embiid's partner James Harden is not as good as his partner Jamorant, which may be that Jamorant is young and has better counterattacking ability.
9. Jason Tatum and Bradley Beale
The Boston Celtics could trade Jaylen Brown to get the two to play together. There have been many rumors about Jason Tatum playing with Bradley Beal in recent seasons, but now the Boston Celtics will not consider Bradley Beal at all, because Bradley Beal is too big for the next few seasons after signing the Wizards. Coupled with Bradley Beal's low offensive efficiency this season, injuries have also begun to increase. Now Jason Tatum will partner Jaylen Brown much better than Bradley Beal.
8. Alphabet Brother and Jamorant
The Milwaukee Bucks could acquire Jamorant in a trade, giving the two a chance to play together. Both are incredibly talented stars, with Jamorant averaging 27 points, five rebounds and eight assists this season. Alphabet is averaging 31 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists this season. Although the three-point shooting rate of both is not good, their offensive ability is too strong, and they will take turns to attack the opponent's inside line without saying a word, and stage a dunk against the sky, which may directly dunk the opponent's confidence.
7. Jokic and Lillard
The Denver Nuggets acquired Lillard through a trade, allowing Lillard and Jokic to play together. Jokic can shoot inside and outside, grab rebounds and passes, and as a player in the top ten IQs in NBA basketball, Jokic can play with almost any superstar. With Lillard's outside shooting ability, if he works with a star like Jokic, his three-point attack is even more threatening. Moreover, Lillard joined the Nuggets to join Jokic, and his chances of winning the championship seem to be greater.
6. LeBron James and Stephen Curry
The Golden State Warriors could acquire LeBron James by trade so that LeBron James and Stephen Curry could play together. LeBron James is 38 years old and still averages 30+ points per game, what a terrible player, and LeBron James can still play from No. 1 to No. 5. Stephen Curry is 34 years old and is averaging 29 points per game this season. Two superstars over 73 years old, if they work together, can they really set off a wave of wind and waves in the league? It's actually quite curious, but the Golden State Warriors can't let Stephen Curry leave, and only LeBron James joining the Golden State Warriors can achieve a strong combination.
5. Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis
The Dallas Mavericks could acquire Anthony Davis by trading Kyrie Irving so that Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis could work together. In fact, the Dallas Mavericks will not consider trading Anthony Davis, because Porzingis made the Lone Ranger understand how difficult it is for the team to make the playoffs for stars with glass attributes. Luka Doncic is averaging 33 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists per game this season, and the all-around Luka Doncic can provide teammates with good interior offensive opportunities no matter what kind of interior lineman he partneres. Moreover, he can also take on the No. 5 offense on his own, and we have seen Luka Doncic make low-post singles or breakaway layups on the inside at the beginning of the season.
4. Embiid and Lillard
The Philadelphia 76ers could acquire Lillard in a trade, or the Portland Trail Blazers could acquire Embiid in a trade so the two could play together. In the 2022-23 season, Lillard averaged 32.3 points per game and Embiid averaged 33.0 points per game, and if the two work together, they will become one of the best offensive duos in the NBA, which is estimated to be more terrifying than the duo of Durant and Kyrie Irving. Embiid's inside offense gives Lillard better outside shooting opportunities. Similarly, Lillard's three-point shot makes Embiid easier on the inside offensive end.
3. LeBron James and Kyrie Irving
The Los Angeles Lakers could sign Kyrie Irving in the summer of 2023, and before being traded by the Brooklyn Nets for the Dallas Mavericks, he wants to join the Los Angeles Lakers and team up with LeBron James again. They had success with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and if they join forces again, the Los Angeles Lakers could win another championship under the duo's leadership.
2. Alphabet Brother and Jason Tatum
The Boston Celtics can get the alphabet brother by trading to let the two play together. Recently, the Milwaukee Bucks changed owners, and the Boston Celtics can trade Jaylen Brown and some future first-round picks for Alphabet Brother to win the 18th NBA championship in team history. Alphabet Brother has already won the regular season MVP and Finals MVP, and this season Alphabet Brother and Jason Tatum led their respective teams, both ranked in the top two in the East, if they can work together, to ensure the NBA Finals.
1. Jokic and Luka Doncic
The Denver Nuggets or the Dallas Mavericks acquired Luka Doncic in a trade that would allow the two to play together. As the best European player in the NBA, Luka Doncic and Jokic can be said to have very similar styles of play, solid technique, good big picture, and both players who are willing to share the ball. The two also expressed their desire to play together.
