Dynamic Duos

This week, Sideline Sports Reports take a look at some of the best duos of the 2000's. There have been a lot of great "teams" since 2000, but some of those teams might not have done as well if it wasn't for two really good or event great players. Here is our list of the best duos of the 2000's.

1. Tim Duncan and Tony Parker (2001-present): These two might be the best of the best. And their resume proves it. They've had seven Finals appearances, winning four titles. They've won 50 games or more every year Parker and Duncan have been together. To say it's impressive what they have done is an understatement but somehow they always fly under the radar as one of the best teams in NBA history. That's okay though, that's how these two like it. 
   
2. Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal (1996-2004): Arguably one of the best duos of all-time, Kobe and Shaq might not have painted the prettiest picture of themselves as the years went one, but there was no denying their chemistry on the court. In the beginning of the 2000's there wasn't a hotter team than the Los Angeles Lakers who seemingly breezed through the Western Conference on their way to three straight NBA titles. They had many memorable moments but perhaps none more memorable than when Kobe crossed over Scottie Pippen, drove the lane, and floated a perfect alley oop lob to Shaq for the on-handed finish that sealed the Western Conference Finals in 2000 against the Portland Trailblazers. 
   
3. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade (2010-2014): When you talk about duos in NBA history these two are up there with some of the greats. Much like Kobe and Shaq, LeBron and Wade had chemistry on the floor that was evident from game one. The duo made four straight NBA Finals during their four years together and brought home two championships. A lot was made of 'The Decision' when LeBron decided to head south for the winters but that decision resulted in a combination of two of the greatest players of all time. 
4. Chauncey Billups and Ben Wallace (2002-2006): An underrated duo that many people might not think about because of their lack of rings but to go through the Eastern Conference meant you had to go through the Detroit Pistons. Billups and Wallace both came to Detroit in 2002 and brought the energy back to the city. When you talk about defense in the NBA, there were few teams who brought that defense more than Detroit and Chauncey Billups and Ben Wallace were the anchors of that defense.
