Basketball is one of the sports that cannot be dominated by a single player on the team. It is a duo that manages the flow of their team and the game. Duos like Michael Jordan & Scottie Pippen and Kobe Bryant & Shaq O’Neal pop into our minds when we talk about the best duos in basketball. Similarly, former basketball player Kendrick Perkins has picked his best duo in the NBA.
