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

1980-89

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

  2. Larry Bird and Robert Parish (86)

1990-99

  1. Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen (104)

  2. Karl Malone and John Stockton (68)

2000-09

  1. Tim Duncan and Tony Parker (75)

  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

  1. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown (51)

  2. Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo (36)

  3. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray (32)

  4. LeBron James and Anthony Davis (27)

      How many playoff games they won together in that decade

    Why would you lock it to decades?

    Completely arbitrary. Kobe and Shaq won 10 games in 98 and 99.

    Steph and Klay won a title in 2022

      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

    Yes people may be shocked to know this, but if you are the healthiest duo in the league for the past half a decade in a conference that will always have half its teams get injured by the playoffs (seriously what the hell is with the east and injuries), then you are gonna win a lot together.
