Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report recently put out an excellently researched article ranking every single duo in the NBA from 30 to 1. In the article, the Los Angeles Lakers duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis was ranked first, much to the appeal of Laker fans.
Bailey compiled several different stats and objectively ranked the duos by their average ranking in each stat. This received some backlash, as Kawhi Leonard and Paul George were ranked fifth, mostly because they have not played any games together.
There was a misunderstanding that the article was not merely ranking the five most talented duos this season, simply the five most productive.
