Once I seen Ewing and Oakley I knew this was about if you won a ring or not.
Anyway,

how about the trash Dan Gilbert would bring in for LeBron around trade deadline? has to count, right?
Ben Wallace, Antwan Jamison, & Shaq were their best moves for 'Bron.

And pretty much Iverson and any other "star" any team tried to pair him with failed -- even 'Melo IMO.

Going back on what dukehead said, some these are not that bad though. The nets went to two NBA finals with pretty much those guys (Replace Canada TMAC and KVH with RJ and Collins/Mutombo year two)
Don't really call them a failed duo/group.

I call it a fail because all they needed was one person who could create for themselves and they might have won one
Jason Kidd made everyone so much better easily one of the most underrated players of our generation
AI had way more fans and hype than Kidd (and it hurts me to say this) but Kidd was better

yeah, i wouldn't exactly call them a failed duo either. They were doing it big and quick.

I don't consider some of these duos failed. Like who had high expectations for Cuttino and Francis or even d miles and q rich?

A lot of y'all don't know the definition of failure, y'all just posting any duo that didn't win a championship

Nobody was beating those Lakers/Spurs teams.
Nobody.
And I agree w/ there being some people mentioned in here who don't meet the criteria I meant. I probably should have clarified more. Like w/ AI and LH...I don't consider them a failure because they didn't win a championship but because they never became the duo they were supposed to just basketball wise.

LOL @ isaiah and the knicks... what a disaster.
Hell, in the NBA only a handful of teams have won the chip. Judging by this thread almost everyone who never a chip is a failure. Dont know if I agree with that.
IMO the Kidd teams and Stockton/Malone was not a failure. Now Malone, Payton, Shaq and Kobe was a failure. If players get together solely for a chip, its a failure.

how is that Yao/Tmac a failed duo? One was always healthy when the other wasn't. Together they were
Let alone that Malone/Stockton

Nah, that's def. a failed duo, those two never got past the first round despite the unlimited potential of those two playing together. Health matters and they never got healthy. ****t hat's the case for lots of these on the list, Penny/Kidd, T-Mac/Hill etc.Originally Posted by FinesseSosa

D.Will/Boozer, not failed duo. I mean, they reached the Western Conference Finals one year and unfortunately ran into the Lakers as they rose again and lost to them three straight years in the playoffs. I don't think that's failed just cause I don't think that squad really could have conceivably done better than they did. They simply just weren't on the same level as those Lakers squads were.
