The only way to judge this is to put the players in their primes and go at each other. 2001 Shaq and Kobe vs. 1991 Jordan and Pippen. That Shaq and Kobe duo was FUCKIN' AMAZING! No one stops Shaq, Kobe and Mike battle to a draw and Scottie might get injured in that game.

pippen was far from his prime in 1991...he was a youngster then.  might wanna try 92-93 or 95-96.  remember, we're talking two guys in their prime so we can't go with an exact year.  but i do agree that 00/01 or 01/02 shaq/kobe was the best those two together were at.

Might have to go with 1991/92 MJ and Scottie, as that was the only year in the first three peat Scottie averaged more than 20ppg. The 2000/01 Lakers was their best year, both Kobe and Shaq averaged over 30ppg, it was the year Kobe finally became Kobe and the last year Shaq was Shaq. It was the perfect storm. The 1995-1998 Bulls were too old, as you have more from Pippen but MJ wasn't as good.

in 02/03 Shaq scored 27.5 and pulled in over 11 rebounds...Shaq was still in his prime after 00/01.

He spent half that year out of shape and that year really fueled the Kobe/Shaq war of words. Once Shaq got going, he really got going, but he didn't have the drive he use to. Still in his prime, but not at his peak. There is a difference.
