I can remember back in the day there were backcourts like
Magic & Byron Scott..
Zeke & Dumars..
Drexler & Porter

A few years ago Billups & Rip Hamilton were a great tandem..
But right now there aren’t many very good backcourt pairs in the league..
There aren’t many great duos in the league today..
Alot of teams have a superstar and most of time..his backcourt mate is only a short term replacement or a specialist..A guy that can shot the 3 or he’s a great defender…

Dwayne Wade,Derrick Rose & D-Williams..Are 3 superstar guards that are capable of big scoring nights..And they should be pair with great shooters or a taller defensive minded backcourt mate that can guard the other teams top offensive guard….Or Someone whose shooting can allow the superstar to do their thang..

Kobe and Fisher work good together..Fisher coasts during the regular season but turns it on during the playoffs..

Some say Brandon Roy & Andre Miller are too similar to work well together..

Monta Ellis said he and Curry were too short to play together..But Ellis finished in the top 10 in scoring and Curry finished number in Rookie of the year voting last season…

But right now to me the best backcourt is Ray Allen & Rondo..They compliment each other so well..Allen is a great 3 point shooter who can penetrate,a terrific ball handler and he can create plays..Rondo’s hustling game fits Allen so well..

If LeBron plays pg with Wade at sg they are by-far the best.

If we are going 2 starters and a bench guy these groups have to be mentioned..

Kobe, Fisher, Blake

Chalmers, Wade, Miller

Wall, Arenas, Kirk

Westbrook, Sefolosha, Harden

Parker and Manu is a tough backcourt when healthy.

Baron Davis (when motivated) and Eric Gordon can be a tough backcourt as well.

I thought Bibby played well off of Joe Johnson, though he’s starting to slow down.

That Wall, Arenas, Kirk backcourt, I think will be very interesting. All three can handle the ball, and Arenas & Kirk are more combo guards than anything else. I think they can play well together.

Brooks and Martin are also a very deadly duo. Together they could put up alot of points.

Rose and Brewer have to prove themselves as a tandem. Haha Drose looks like Steve Nash shooting the ball beside Brewer. Brewer is sick on defense though which is the #1 thing Rose has to improve on so they do balance each other well even though Brewer is the last guy you’d want spotting up from a Rose assist.

^^ Yes Curry and Monta are absolutely lethal offensively, but they are just lethal defensively, and in a bad way. There is a reason why Golden State wasn’t good last year even though they were 2nd in the NBA in scoring. Neither is a great defender even against PG’s, let alone when one of them has to guard a SG. It’s one of those situations, you can score 40 points, but who cares when you let your opponent score 50 points. It’s ok for now just for the excitement, but a backcourt of Monta and Curry in the long run will never winning anything of importance because they are simply too weak on the defensive end. It has to be one or the other at the point, you can’t have them together.

If Wade or Lebron starts for Miami they have the best badckcourt byfar due to mike Millers presence.

Washingtons Wall, Arenas, Hinrich, Young is very underrated.

Atlantas Crawford, Bibby, Johnson, Crawford, Teague is solid.

Rose, Watson, Brewer, Bogans, Korver is amazing depth and versatility rumour is Chicago is also trying to add Fernandez.

Nash, Dragic, Richardson, Childress is solid.

Overall it’s hard to argue with Boston. Offense and defense. Lakers are second
bulls are down the list because rose isn’t a good shooter and bad defender and brewer is a horrible shooter
the jury is out on wall since he hasn’t played yet and agent zero since he’s coming back from injury and moving to the sg

Woah Ralwarez I was with you on your list until you put Jrue and Turner. Neither have even proven to be quality starters. I think you might be overrating Jrue based on his potential vs what we’ve seen in actual game situations. At this point that tandem wouldn’t be anywhere near my top 15 backcourts in the NBA, they’d probably be near the bottom because they are two of the most unproven and both still have some questions as to if they can fit into the PG and SG positions respectively. Not saying they aren’t good or can’t be good, but at this point having them on your list of 6 is like having Mark Sanchez on a list of top 5 NFL QB’s.

Forgot spurs. Suns are good but Nash defense drops them behind the spurs. Clippers could challenge if bdiddy is healthy and motivated

We were bad cause we were literally the most injured team in the NBA last season and only played with centers about 30% of the time. Maggette was our PF and Tolliver was our center. We had CJ Watson at SF, thats how injured we were. We never really lost any games cause of a small back court, in fact there defense at times saved us

Ellis and Curry are probably the best offensive backcourt in the NBA, lots of others are on the strength of mainly one player. Miller and Roy if they gel are both top notch and the Clippers and Thunder both have potentially top duos if Harden/Sefo and Gordon really step up. If Durant plays SG again then you could argue that the Thunder have the best backcourt in the NBA.

The Spurs don’t really start Manu if they can help it so I would not class him and Parker as a starting duo but when they are in tandem they are top notch, likewise Dallas as Jason Terry is now more a 6th man.

Perhaps the other most recent duo where they were both All Star Level players apart from Rip and Billups was Kidd and Carter during their time at the Nets.

At Washington Hinrich will have to play around Arenas and Wall so who gets the ball out of that trio when they are on court remains to be seen but if Wall and Arenas can click then the Wizards have a top backcourt also.

You can’t disagree with the championships that back court helped produce in San Antonio. Both guys (in their prime) were all-star caliber players, and still pack a tough punch. Rondo and Allen are terrific together as well.

Nash and Richardson, and Ellis and Curry are both high scoring tandems, but give up quite a bit defensively.
