For the “Giannis and Dame were a failed duo” crowd, I’ll just leave this here once more: They were the highest scoring duo in the league both years they played together. Became the first duo in NBA history to each record 24+ PPG, 4+ RPG, and 6+ APG in back-to-back seasons. No one had ever done it before. Not Kobe-Shaq, not Jordan-Pippen, not Stockton-Malone, not Magic-Kareem, not Wade-LeBron. Most games each recording 25+ PTS and 10+ AST by any duo in NBA history. A failure? On the offensive end especially, these guys were as dominant together as they come. Injuries, coaching, and poor roster construction around them were the ultimate downfall. They played less than 30 minutes together in the playoffs after everything, where Dame sacrificed his body to give them a chance, and devastatingly got hurt further in the process. These guys were awesome as a unit. They loved each other, as teammates, and as friends. Both adapted their games to best fit the other. Sick and tired of all the discourse suggesting otherwise. The end has been abrupt and shocking, but to know Dame is content with it all is a consolation. Be glad we got to experience 0 and 34 in action, even if the result was less than desired.
