    I didn't see it in the article but is the score the writer came up with cumulative? If it is, that seems like a serious flaw in the formula. Playing together a long time doesn't make you better.

    It's a blazer site. Already loses it's credibility by being biased.

    Yes. From the original article:

    http://espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/2015/story/_/page/Top10backcourts/ranking-best-backcourts-modern-nba

    No mention of the "Rain Bros" anywhere in the remote vicinity of this article. Which is odd since Lillard is better than Curry and Wes is better than Klay, right Kingspeed?

    LOL.

    Jordan's definition of duo is himself and whoever inbounds to him.

    Actually it does.

    In sports, intuition comes from repetition.

    That's how dynasties are made.

    6 rings.

    His backcourt mate was Pippen for all those seasons.

    I don't know about that either. Modern Schmodern.

    I'd take Walt Frazier and Earl Monroe against any of these chumps.

    If Drexler and Porter played today with the no hand check rule they would have dominated.

    Hell, with today's rules those Drexler teams would crush everyone in the NBA.
