4. Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, Los Angeles Clippers

Paul and Griffin make up one of the most dynamic pick-and-roll duos the NBA has seen in years. Paul is the NBA’s best pure point guard and Griffin is an elite finisher around the rim, shooting an incredible 70.8 percent from 0-6 feet, per NBA Savant.

These two are the driving force behind the Los Angeles Clippers‘ aspirations of being a title contender and have clicked since the minute Paul landed in L.A. Griffin has blossomed from an athletic dunker to an excellent playmaker, post-up presence and effective jumpshooter since entering the NBA.

Without Paul or Griffin on the roster, the Clippers would likely be cellar dwellers fighting for mediocrity. Paul is able to give Griffin the ball in a position to score better than any other point guard in the league could, and the results show with all of the success they have enjoyed in Paul’s four years in a Clippers uniform.

If the Clippers are ever able to translate this into playoff success, they will move up on the list of dynamic duos and be in the discussion for one of the greatest combos of all time.
