NBA's BEST DUO's VOLUME 1 in the 90s.....AIR JORDAN and MR. PIP 33 to name a few

When the BAD BOY Pistons went BACK to BACK in 1988-90 the BULLS and the NBA had seen enough. It was time for MIKE and his BULLS to take over but mike needed someone riding SHOTGUN. That MAN was Mr. PIP 33....Scottie PIPPEN and the BULLS took flight by winning 6 CHIPS in the 90s.

But while MIKE and SCOTTIE were winning often the NBA took on a new FACE and new STARS. The NBA will never be the same after the 90s Players changed the face of the NBA forever literally and figuratively speaking.

TAKE this for instance...one of the MOST DOMINANT Big MEN, PLAYERS right out of High School, and the PLAY above the RIM like the OLD ABA.....just RIDUNKULOUS.

Let's check out some of the 90s best DUO's and Agree to Disagree with the BLUEDUDE on how they impacted the NBA forever sponsored by HOW many of these DUO's won a CHIP or CHIPS:

AIR JORDAN and Mr. PIP 33 CHI BULLS: The BULLS Dominated the 90s after the PISTONS kept teaching them lesson after lesson they learned the hard way and when these 2 put their STAMP on the LEAGUE it was the most DOMINATING PLAY maybe EVER by a DUO the NBA has ever seen. JORDAN and PIPPEN captivated audiences WORLDWIDE and to this day they are the BENCHMARK on how DUO's in the NBA are to get it done....on BOTH ENDS of the FLOOR....ie...JAMES and WADE or DURANT and WESTBROOK.

SHAQ DIESEL and PENNY O MAGIC: Between WHEN MIKE retired from the NBA and came back the ORLANDO MAGIC had DISNEY and MICKEY MOUSE and SHAQ and PENNY to entertain everyone inn ORANGE County Florida. SHAQ was the most dominant BIG MEN probably since WILT 20K and PENNY was a MIX of MAGIC Johnson and AIR JORDAN...just a FREAK of NATURE. Ball Handling, PASSING, Shooting, Scoring, Defense, and Athleticism to boot a rare combination never seen before in the LOGO. Penny Was a SPECIAL PLAYER. SHAQ went onto make a name for himself as maybe the most PHYSICALLY Dominant Player ever outside of WILT CHAMBERLAIN.

GRAND MA MA and ZO CHA HORNETS: HIVE DRIVE in the CHARLOTTE Coliseum would never be the same after these 2 BIG TIME Players hooked up in the QUEEN CITY. LARRY was 1st and ZO 2nd but the two together made the HORNETS the 3rd Best Team in the EAST and if it weren't for CONTRACT Disputes by ZO and the HORNETS Brass from breaking up this UNIT the HORNETS might have and probably would have stung the BULLS and the MAGIC on their way to at least ONE CHIP.

SIR CHARLES and K.J. PHX SUNS: The DESERT was never hotter than this when CHARLES BARKLEY turned up in the DESERT to team up with Kevin JOHNSON and the SUNS. BARKLEY ended up with an NBA MVP Trophy but no LARRY O'BRIEN. The SUNS were loaded that year and like most would have WON a CHAMPIONSHIP if it weren't for MIKE and SCOTTIE who were not done turning away fantastic DUO's in the NBA after Sir CHARLES and K.J..

The REIGN MAN and the GLOVE Sea SUPERSONICS: The NEST highlight Reel running even before SPORTS CENTER. PAYTON and KEMP brought the SONICS faithful back from the late 70s to the 90s as they dominated the WEST for years and KEMP vs the BULLS in the 1995-96 NBA Finalks may have been the best player in that series not named AIR JORDAN....Real Talk.

PATRICK and JOHN NY KNICKS: Pat RILEY told himself if I can WIN the BIG ONE in the LEFT Coast I might as well try the RIGHT Coast. Patrick EWING and a FUNNY Castoff from your local GROCER starred in this DUO. John STARKS an undersized Big GUARD and NBA Sniper had a VALENTINE ONLY built for GOTHAM City as he teamed up with PATRICK and the rest of the KNICKS to battle MIKE and SCOTTIE and DREAM and the ROCKETS. The YEAR MIKE retired from the NBA the KNICKS finally went to the FINALS and lost to the ROCKETS in 7.

MILLER TIME and the FLYING DUTCHMAN IND PACERS: All those GREAT PACERS Teams were built around Reggie MILLER but the BEST PACERS TEAMS were REGGIE and that MARIST College MONSTER in Rik SMITS from HOLLAND. The BATTLES with MIKE and SCOTTIE and SPIKE LEE, PATRICK, RILEY, and JOHN Starks were of CLASSIC Variety. MILLER will go down in the BLUEDUDE's Book as the 2nd All-Time Big Shot SNIPER next to AIR JORDAN...PERIOD.

C-WEBB and SPREWELL GS WARRIORS: No Doubt about it....WEBBER and SPREE in the BAY was like STABLER and CASPER...Poetry in Motion. Don NELSON aka NELLIE had a FIX with these two MONSTERS but like any BAD organization they just couldn't get past just filling up the SEATS for entertainment. On DRAFT DAY in 1993 WEBBER was the 1st Overall and was suppose to go to join SHAQ in ORLANDO but traded on DRAFT DAY for Penny HARDAWAY.

DREXLER and PORTER POR TrailBLAZERS: LOST to MIKE and SCOTTIE in the 1991-92 NBA FINALS and these BLAZERS Teams were absolutely loaded and under the direction of one of the best in the last 20 years Coach Rick ADELMAN. Clyde the GYLDE with his 1-Man FAST BREAK Tactics and PORTER with his POINT GUARD Leadership Skills and Savvy led the BLAZERS back from the DEAD and almost to the same heights as Dr. JACk, BIG RED, and the LATE GREAT Mo LUCAS.

BIG DOGG and SUGAR RAY Mil BUCKS: The YOUNG PUPS sort a speak the new KIDS on the BLOCK as MIKE and SCOTTIE were on their way to the 2nd THREE-PEAT when Glenn ROBINSON and Ray ALLEN hooked up and called BEER TOWN USA home. Glenn coming off LEGENDARY STATUS at PURDUE and Ray holding it down in STORRS CT. They were a handful for MIKE and SCOTTIE moving forward.

MAGIC and VLADE SHOWTIME LA: They almost snuck up on MIKE and SCOTTIE on their way to their 1st Ever CHIP. Vlade was a fabulous talent coming over from YUGOSLAVIA and mixed with MAGIC and a cohesive unit they gave MIKE and SCOTTIE all they wanted. MAGIC was still a force in the WEST and VLADE and the young SHOWTIME was more than up for the challenge.

MOOKIE and STEVE ATL HAWKS: They were as good a backcourt as you will find in the LOGO. Mookie was a defensive stalwart and SMITTY was a mix of OFFENSIVE talent and craftiness. The HAWKS had some really good teams anchored by these 2 Dynamic Guards.

GRANT and STACK Det PISTONS: They used to give MIKE and SCOTTIE fits. They were suppose to be T-MAC and GRANT before that DUO got together in O-TOWN. GRANT was a a UTILITY EXTROADINAIRE while STACK was that ATTACKING Big GUARD from the WING that never stopped attacking no matter what. The PISTONS and the ZD though they had them something here until the INJURIES and TRADES.

STARBURY and the BIG TICKET Min TWOLVES: To this day I always wonder if STEPH would've stayed in the TWIN CITIES with Kevin GARNETT what would have been the DAMAGE in the WEST with these two TALENTED PLAYERS. STEPH couldn't not take being 2nd fiddle to anyone even himself. The BIG TICKET on the other hand was ALL BUSINESS and now that GARNETT has a CHIP I wonder if he ever wonders what could've been in the TWIN CITIES if STEPH stays.

SHAQ and KOBE LAKEshow LAKERS: What do you do for an encore. SHAQ left a promising situation in O-TOWN for the LIGHTS and BRIGHTS of L.A. and HOLLYWOOD. KOBE and SHAQ were the next biggest thing since MIKE and SCOTTIE and the LEAGUE knew. Coached by the ZEN master himself Phil JACKSON...the LAKERS went for the juggernaut in the 2000s behind these 2 dynamic players. These players anchored the LAKERS for 3 Championships.

LAST but not LEAST...the MAILMAN and STOCK UT JAZZ: The ALL-Time Leader in assists and arguably the BEST Screen and Roll PG ever...John STOCKTON and the NBA's 2nd ALL-TIME Leading Scorer in KARL MALONE were the 2nd BEST DUO in the 90's outside of MIKE and SCOTTIE. These 2 met the BULLS in back 2 back FINALS and they dominated the WEST for many years. Stock's low-key childhood in WASHINGTON STATE and MALONE's Little TOWN in the SOUTH Mentality served both of these NBA Hall Of Famers well.

Just think if it wasn't for MIKE and SCOTTIE at least 3 if not 4 of these DUO's would,have WON them a CHIP....Simply Amazing. Look for NBA BEST DUO's Volume 2 the 80's coming soon.
