I don’t know, are you having sex with yourself?
Gail Goodrich was your lefty, I believe. But for coolness, I’m also going with Clyde and Pearl.

Dennis Johnson was his name.
Arguably one of the ugliest human beings of all time and a HOF player. RIP.
It wasn't really the other guard pairing that made that unit great, it was DJ being the distributor to one of the greatest front courts of all time (if not The greatest).

Bill Oliver dies at 85: Alabama legend was part of five national titles, coached on both sides of Iron Bowl
Oliver won national championships as a player and assistant with Alabama, and later coached at Auburn
Bill Oliver, a program legend at Alabama who was a part of five national championships with the Crimson Tide as a player and assistant coach, has died at age 85, according to multiple reports. Though Oliver was known primarily for his time with the Tide and coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, he coached on both sides of the Iron Bowl rivalry during 33 years in college football.
Oliver was best known as the defensive coordinator on Alabama's 1992 national championship team that shut down Miami's high-powered offense in the Sugar Bowl. The Hurricanes, led by Heisman winner Gino Terretta, were playing for back-to-back undefeated national championship seasons. Oliver organized a defense that led to a 34-13 decimation and held the Hurricanes without an offensive touchdown.
Oliver was also a defensive back on the 1961 title team and defensive backs coach under Bryant on teams that won titles in 1973, 1978 and 1979. He was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 2013.

Steve ‘Mongo’ McMichael, who has ALS, enters the Pro Football Hall of Fame in ceremony at his home
August 3, 2024Steve McMichael couldn’t make it to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, so the ceremony came to him.
Battling ALS and bedridden in the advanced stages of the neurological disease, the 66-year-old two-time All-Pro defensive tackle was the second player enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame among seven members of the Class of 2024 on Saturday.
Surrounded by several of his Chicago Bears teammates and his wife, Misty, at his home in Homer Glen, Illinois, McMichael wore his gold jacket, and his bronze bust was unveiled live in a touching tribute.
“You are on a team that you can never be cut from and never be released from. When you die, you’ll always be on this team. Welcome home, Steve. You’re in football heaven forever,” Hall of Famer Richard Dent said, patting McMichael on the head.
Misty McMichael wiped tears as she turned her husband’s head toward the bronze bust.
“That’s you, baby, forever,” she said.
Just sayin': It was great that he was inducted into the Pro Football HOF while he was still alive.
