Just as a qualifier, we’re going to exclude role players from being a part of this (like Michael Cooper, Robert Horry, etc) and condense the list to just stars who were clearly the leaders of their team

  1. Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabaar (110)

  2. Larry Bird and Robert Parish (86)

  2. Karl Malone and John Stockton (68)

  2. Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant (64)

2010-19

  1. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson/Draymond Green (77)

  2. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade (58)

And the current decade so far, 2020-24

    More just in the scope of defining a decade. It is arbitrary, but people tend to view eras this way. Like how the 90’s was Jordan’s (even though he won playoff games in the 80’s) and to your point, how LeBron’s longevity has spanned 3 decades.

    It’s not meant to diminish anyone, it’s quite easy to look up how many total games these duos won together. It’s just interesting to group it by decades.

    This list is also excluding the 15 games Tatum and Brown won together in 2018 and 2019 and I’m a Celtics fan, there’s no agenda with this post.

      Which is pretty representative of what we would all assume. The 80’s was all about the Celtics and Lakers, 90’s all about the Bulls, 2000’s was the Spurs and Lakers and the 2010’s was the Warriors and Lebron

      2020’s is becoming the decade of the death of the dynasty but there’s still plenty of time for a team to emerge over the next 5-6 years to win multiple titles and take claim
