I don't want to, but I have to pick Kobe/Duncan.
That would be a tough duo to stop.

Prime years goes to Shaq/TMac. TMac would have been better with an all time great to bring him along. He wouldn't have challenged Shaq as Alpha which would have been great for chemistry.
Most titles to Kobe/Duncan. They were really good for a very long time. Easy answer to OP's question.

Well 3 of those guys are too ten(ish) players in nba history and one doesnt sniff that. So probably kobe and duncan. But Shaq in his prime is the best of the four and makes it close. If it were Shaq and scotty pippen or someone like that i would go with the shaq duo.

Im not saying he had a ton of help in ORL. But just because he shoots a lot doesn't mean he has to be inefficient. They were low percentage shots, yes. He wasn't a great shooter, and he loved to take jump shots, which was crazy for a man his size. Black hole. The fact that he never won anything supports that.

What were Kobe's stats circa 2008ish? I'm on my way to bed and too lazy to look.
Kobe career TS .553
Tmac .519

He didn't ask for career shooting percentages. Everybody concedes Kobe's play was better for longer. Prime TMAC was a more efficient player than prime Kobe.

Kobe and Duncan by a mile.

ok. Best seasons:
T Mac 02/03 - 32.1 points on 24.2 shots and 9.7 FTA. 5.5 AST, 2.6 TO
Bryant 05/06 - 35.4 oints on 27.2 shots and 10.2 FTA. 4.5 AST, 3.1 TO
So Bryant scored 3.3 more points per game on 3 extra shots, half a free throw, and half a turnover more. McGrady also had an extra rebound per game. .4 more blocks, and only .1 less steals.
PER stands for Player Efficiency Rating. TMAC's was 30.27, highest ever by a player not named Wilt, Lebron, MJ, AD, David Robinson, Wade or Shaq. Kobe's best PER was 27.97, trailing a plethora of players including Russel Westbrook last year.
The numbers are conclusive. TMAC was more efficient in his prime.

Did T-Mac play any defense? I don't recall him playing good defense, but someone on here might be able to set me straight.
I vote Kobe/Duncan.

Wait, so let me get this straight, you cherry picked 1 season from each and labeled that their prime?

seriously guy?
