Mt Rushmore of NBA Backcourts?

Donovan Mitchell: “Ooh, that's a lot. In history? That's tough... I'm never gonna put anyone ahead of us because that's just, we can't. But I think there was a backcourt of Kyrie Irving and James Harden that existed. A backcourt of Kyrie and Luka Doncic existed... I can kind of see what he's saying.”

I’ve got:
Steph & Klay
Isiah Thomas & Joe Dumars
Kyrie & Luka was short-lived but that’s a talented combo that got to the finals

I really don’t know who to put fourth. I might go Mad Dog and pick Bob Cousy & Bill Sharman. I can’t settle for Tony Parker & Manu Ginobli.
 
Walt Frazier & Earl Monroe
Jerry West & Gail Goodrich
Maurice Cheeks & Andrew Toney
Gus Williams & Dennis Johnson
Magic Johnson & Byron Scott
Magic Johnson & Norm Nixon
Ron Harper & Mark Price
Paul Westphal & Jo Jo White

It’s Klay and Steph. 4 rings, 73-10. Second is Thomas and Dumars.

Cats gotta win multiple championships before entering that convo.

That's hard to say. You can't say championships are the entirety of the conversation, because the best one two punch is Stockton them alone and they have zero championships

It takes five to seven (five starters two backups), and a great back court and a horrible front court might equal zero championships

I'm not speaking on this in extensive detail because I'm more of a football historian than a basketball historian
