I saw a best d#%$ sports show on the best dynamic duos of all time, from all sports.

Who are your top five dynamic duos(meaning teammate combinations)...of all time, and why. Lots of possibilities, so feel free to change yours if you overlooked one.

    << <i>Joe Tinker/Johnny Evans >>



    I think you meant Tinker/Evers/Chance...
  • ajaanajaan Posts: 17,372 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Yes, it's Evers image I know that. Brain freeze. I didn't include Chance because the title said duos.

    Willie Totten and Jerry Rice (but that's college). But Joe Montana and Jerry Rice and then Steve Young and Jerry Rice. And I'm sure I'll take a beating on this one, but John McEnroe and whoever his doubles partner happened to be. McEnroe was so good at doubles that his team would be the best regardless of his doubles partner.

    My Top five in no order

    Russell/Cousy
    Magic/Kareem
    Jordan/Pippen
    Gretzky/Kurri
    Ruth/Gehrig

    I like the basketball duos due to the more direct interplay between them, but you have to have Ruth/Gehrig image

    Come to think of the list on the show, I don't think they had Papi/Manny on their top 50....but they had McGwire/Canseco. I think Papi/Manny are a very nice baseball pick(more worthy than McGwire/Canseco). Maybe I missed them on there, but that would be a pretty big mistake on their picking.

    I like the other creative duos posted!

    My out of the box duo....

    Better than The Captain and Tenille? LMFAO!
