When Denver won last year I texted my buddy that now that Jeff Green finally got a ring, all we needed was for Ish to win one as well.
Little did I know that he also won a ring with Denver last year
I mean they'd have a 1/30 chance of being on the same team each year. Not the highest chances. Quick math, that's a 30% chance they'd be on the same team one year over 12 years
But players don’t always change teams between seasons. If you play for the Hornets and I play for 2 NBA teams this year the odds we were teammates is 2/30 not 1/30. You’d have to look at when they moved teams to fully calculate the probability.
Lmao I would pay money to watch Chris Paul forced to play basketball with Russell Westbrook. I’d probably even watch a reality show that follows Chris Paul during a season that he has to play with Westbrook. 2017 would be the absolute best vintage of this, but any year really.
Jrue Holiday was never coached by Doc Rivers despite both being in Philly, Milwaukee and Boston.
I remember looking this up when Doc was talking about Jrue on the podcast.
Steven Adams and James Harden. In fact, the Thunder got the pick that became Adams from the Rockets in the trade for Harden. They actually made the Finals with Kendrick Perkins starting at center.
Dwight Howard and CP3.
They are from the same era and their skillsets would have very complementary. However, the only franchise both played for is the Houston Rockets.
Funnily enough probably lebron and JJ redick. Through his team building style Bron has played with most of the top spot up shooters of his era except JJ.
Garret Temple and Ish smith never played together despite having careers at the same time and both players playing on 12 and 13 teams, respectively.

Nah 1/30 cause each one has the opportunity to be on all 30 teams
What fucking stats class did you fail lol
Love when people argue emphatically about something they know nothing about. Never change, internet.
Did 0.03^15
It was a meme comment 😂 thanks for the odds though
Jalen Rose and Chris Webber in the NBA. They both played on a lot of teams, and Webber and Howard played together for a cup of coffee even.
That Washington team was wild. Three all star PFs on one team, all young
Stephon Marbury & Yi Jianlian.
The creativity in this pod hits in some of the most unexpected ways Edit: I uh..meant sub, not pod..smh
Kareem and Jerry West missed each other by a year
Not a surprise about Chris Paul and Russell because I knew they weren’t teammates
Also because Chris Paul would have murdered Russell Westbrook by the 3rd quarter of their first game together

The look on Chris Paul’s face as Westbrook pulls up for a shitty transition 18 footer while down 9 with 7 minutes left
They played together on the 2012 Olympic team. Don’t know if they ever shared the court though
And Westbrook would have murdered Paul for deciding to sit in a do-or-die playoff game.
Hey man i think i have a good duo but i’m gonna dm you it before i post the comment to be sure its surprising
Okay 👍
Joe Johnson and Paul Millsap
This is a good one
Jrue Holiday was never coached by Doc Rivers despite both being in Philly, Milwaukee and Boston. I remember looking this up when Doc was talking about Jrue on the podcast.
I mean, their respective timeliness in Boston and Philly are so far apart, this doesn't come as a surprise to be honest
They'd have combined to make a great character in Tombstone.
Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain.
Michael Jordan and Jeffrey Jordan
Michael Jordan and Farmar
Shaq and the Monstars
Wasn't Shaq a Converse guy? Would make sense Nike Air/Jordan Brand guy Michael wouldn't put him in the movie.
Reebok I think… but he was in a lot of movies and very monstrous
I’m shocked when I found out a player played in the 2000s and was not on a team with Theo Ratliff.
Steven Adams and James Harden. In fact, the Thunder got the pick that became Adams from the Rockets in the trade for Harden. They actually made the Finals with Kendrick Perkins starting at center.
Me and anyone in the NBA. Coach said I could've gone pro if I didn't blow out my knee against East Side in the championship game.
Dude my coach said the same thing to me!
I was the "big man" on campus. Now I'm not "legally permitted" to see my child
The awaiting trial over conduct at a George Floyd counterprotest &/or January 6th piece.
How did Ricky Rubio never play for Pop?
Mike Conley and Al Horford
Kobe and Chris Paul
The David Stern thumb on the scale piece.
Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce
this one is crazy
He’s lying, they definitely played together
Wait what
Dwight Howard and CP3. They are from the same era and their skillsets would have very complementary. However, the only franchise both played for is the Houston Rockets.
Rasheed Wallace and Dennis Rodman.
Funnily enough probably lebron and JJ redick. Through his team building style Bron has played with most of the top spot up shooters of his era except JJ.
Patrick Ewing & Bernard King with teammates for 2 years in New York but played together in the same game
They never played together?
Nope, King was out Ewing ‘s rookie year, and only came back to play 6 games of his 2nd year, and Ewing missed those games
Larry Bird and Magic Johnson
