The Jordan/ Pippen combo was one of the best of all time but has there ever been any combo better than these?

Equal or better:
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Earvin "Magic" Johnson
Approximate same:
Elgin Baylor and Jerry "Mr Clutch" West
John Stockton and Karl Malone
Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant

Kareem & Magic is one of only two combos that will ever come close to Jordan & Pippen. You can say that the Lakers won more championships and was generally more successful than the Bulls during Jordan & Pippen's time but the Bulls had to go up against some of the best players in NBA history, Stockton and Malone, Ewing, Barkley...
Another note-worthy combo was Stockton and Malone. They are the best combo to have never won a championship. Too bad for them that they had to go up against Jordan and Pippen twice...

I don't know but I know a few that had a chance recently BUT it is more important to be the most conspicously superior player on your team, sign a multi-million dollar contract with a SORRY TEAM so you can have an extra month of vacation cause your team is going NOWHERE and you can enjoy all the money you could never spend even if you tried really hard to be stupid.
Marbury/Garnett
McGrady/Carter
Maybe the NBA would be more palletable if these 2 combos had spent their entire careers together. Instead, all 4 of these guys are "fishing" with Kenny Smith and Sir Charles.
Ya' see, it's not about winning... It's about CONTRACT! A REALLY PHAT CONTRACT! Winning is 3rd or 4th ranking behind MTV Cribs and posting up with high class skeezers every other night.

in the beginning you're asking a similar question 2nd many martial arts contain all 3 and not in straightforward terms one element, all karate, maximum kung fu, jap jujutsu, tkd, and so on all cover those components game varieties including muay thai, bjj, kickboxing, boxing, and so on are constrained by set regulations and do away with innovations and extremely final when you consider which you dont wont to hearken to the reality you will hear it any way for the 20 th time this week there is no suited type. Your length, physique sort and intercourse don't have something to do with the variety you prefer to p.c.. those that think of that your length and physique sort be sure the variety understand little to no longer something approximately martial arts maximum people permit you to appreciate there type is the suited or they heard such and such is a huge type, the variety isn't considerable, what concerns is how good your instructor is and how you prepare. the variety is secondary, all of them have there professional's and con's there are no more suitable varieties. in case you have an instructor that could’t coach you the thank you to combat, regardless of the variety, what good could it do you? p.c. a college with a good instructor interior the tip that’s all that concerns, that and how you prepare. Its the guy that has the skill to combat no longer the variety

MJ-Pip won 6 titles together so in terms of winning no one else comes close. Stockton and Malone were the most durable for they were at it for about 15 years. Unfortunately, they didn't win a single crown.

terribly sorry,
forgot about Russell/Cousy for a minute. that was number one.
Kareem and Magic. 2nd best
and if Shaq stayed in LA, Shaq/Kobe would be the 3rd best.
Stockton/Malone didnt win anything, but this combo was one of the best.

Cousey and Russell combined for 6 straight titles before Cousey retired

The only one that comes even close (but no cigar) in recent memory is Shaq and Kobe. This dynamic duo certainly have the rings to prove it.

Malone & Stockton, they made that team. I dunno if they were a better combo, but I think they are often over looked.
