If "coolness" is the measure, Clyde Frazier and Pearl Monroe are undefeated.

Maybe Bob Cousy and Bill Sharman? Oscar Robertson and whomever? Jerry West and that little left-hander? Am I dating myself?

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.

Forgot about Walt Frazier and Pearl Monroe. Good save. Probably some other notable guard tandems that have forgotten. Celtics had Danny Ainge and ?. DJ?

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).
