Steve Nash and Jason Kidd
These two future Hall of Famers only played together for 1 season, but they are arguably the top two point guards in the last 10 yrs of the NBA. A back court of Nash and Kidd seems like an All-Star lineup, but after Nash's emergence as a solid point guard Kidd was shipped to New Jersey.
LeBron James and Darius Miles
This duo saw limited action together in 2003 due to a D. Miles knee injury that pretty much ended his career as an explosive dunker. If Miles had not suffered that injury rookie LeBron would have had a very good sidekick in his quest for an NBA Championship. Other critics will argue that having 1 premier player on a team is a natural maturation process for a rookie to become a superstar and in this case that was true. LeBron went on to be..well Lebron and Miles is currently trying to find a home while recouping money from the Portland Blazers.
1984 Philadelphia 76ers
The 76ers have had a slew of NBA players who are Hall of Famers over the years but arguably no team in history had more than the 84 Sixers. Not only did this team include Moses Malone and Dr. J, they also had a young rookie by the name of Charles Barkley and seasoned veteran Maurice Cheeks. The 4 HOF's made it to the NBA Finals that year but eventually lost out to the Boston Celtics. During this era it wasn't uncommon to see a loaded team draft a budding rookie, due to the structure of the collective bargain agreement and the lack of a salary cap. (The only reason the C's won 11 straight years) Although this team only played together collectively for one year, if all were in their prime; I'm not sure they would be beat.
These are just a small collection of great teammates, watch out for more to come..
