Some of the most talented duos of the 2020s ended up being some of the biggest “what ifs” too 😭

Giannis & Dame looked unstoppable on paper, KD & Kyrie had championship-level talent whenever they were actually on the floor, KD & Booker had two of the smoothest scorers in basketball, and LeBron & Luka gave the Lakers ridiculous star power.

The problem is talent alone doesn’t guarantee everything clicks. Injuries, chemistry, roster construction, defense, coaching and timing can completely change how a pairing works out.

KD & Kyrie might be the biggest missed opportunity here though. When healthy, that Brooklyn team had enough offensive firepower to beat anybody — it just never stayed together long enough to see the full vision. 💔

Which duo had the MOST disappointing ending? 👀
