LeBron James and Stephen Curry are perhaps the two most accomplished players in the NBA, they both evolve with a teammate of great talent, respectively Anthony Davis and Andrew Wiggins, but according to an expert, these two pairs of All-Stars would not be in the Top 5 of the league!
For a time, the trend in the NBA was to assemble the great players within the same team to create an untouchable superteam in the race for the title. The Celtics did it in 2008, the Heat followed a few years later with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, then others were inspired by this model thereafter. Fortunately for the suspense and interest, fashion has evolved.
Today, all the biggest teams are based on an exceptional duo, surrounded by role players who must fulfill very specific missions. In Golden State, these are for example Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins who were the main architects of the title. And in this summer period when the subjects of debate are sometimes lacking, Bleacher Report has decided to publish its Top 5 of the best pairs in the league. The surprises are many.
LeBron and Steph Curry, forgotten among the best duos!
How would you rank these duos? ????
1. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday
2. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray
3. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving
4. Joel Embiid and James Harden
5. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George(via Grant Hughes) pic.twitter.com/6zyFtZEVP2

For Grant Hughes of Bleacher Reportthe best duo in the league would consist of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday, which is quite shocking when you know the place of Khris Middleton in this team. But the most surprising thing is still not to see LeBron James and Anthony Davis, champions in 2020 and revenge after this failed season, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, freshly finalists, or Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins. Internet users were revolted by this ranking.

Curry and Wiggins are better than all these duos ????????????????
According to this expert, LeBron James and Anthony Davis would no longer have the capacity to be among the 5 best NBA duos, which is quite surprising when you know the talent of the two Lakers. It’s up to them to prove that they can still make noise in a league that’s more competitive than ever.
