把这个归入“意料之中”专栏吧——CBS体育发布了一份进入2026-2027赛季的NBA最强双人组榜单，而圣安东尼奥马刺队荣登榜首。
.@CBSSports 评选NBA前十双人组

- 卢卡·东契奇 + 奥斯汀·里夫斯
- 泰瑞斯·马克西 + 杰伦·布朗

上述帖子并非完全准确。首先，这是一份Top 12榜单，而非Top 10。第12名是金州勇士队的传奇人物斯蒂芬·库里和德雷蒙德·格林。第11名是凯德·坎宁安和杰伦·杜伦。
虽然原文将费城76人队排在第5位，但文中写道“76人队请自行选择冒险路线”，意思是任何一晚，他们最好的两名球员都可能有所变动。在杰伦·布朗、勒布朗·詹姆斯、泰瑞斯·马克西、V.J. 埃奇科姆和乔尔·恩比德之间，兄弟之爱之城拥有强大的火力储备。
而在第1位，马刺队上榜的是维克托·文班亚马和斯蒂芬·卡斯尔/迪伦·哈珀。
这么多年来，马刺一直在全国关注的雷达之下飞行。即使在蒂姆、托尼和马努的时代，国家队层面似乎也从未真正认识到圣安东尼奥正在发生什么。
马刺在2026年总决赛中的亮相为他们赢得了大量关注，全国直播的比赛场次也随之增加。现任最佳防守球员维克托·文班亚马登上了NBA2K27的封面。
考虑到2023年和2024年连续两届最佳新秀自各自新秀赛季以来取得的进步，他们成为一对不可忽视的组合并不令人意外。哈珀的加入更凸显了(a)马刺在过去三年选秀中的出色表现，(b)这些球员有多么优秀，以及(c)他们在一起时有多么出色。
几点看法（戴着银黑有色眼镜）：
- 在十八支球队中，肯定有比库里和格林更强的双人组吧？大家怎么看？
- 我很喜欢德里克·怀特，但杰森·塔图姆和德里克·怀特真的比塔图姆和杰伦·布朗更强吗？
- 卢卡·东契奇和奥斯汀·里夫斯听起来像是从卢卡·东契奇和勒布朗·詹姆斯降级了。里夫斯真的有能力在东契奇的蝙蝠侠身边扮演罗宾吗？
- 2025年NBA总冠军谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大和杰伦·威廉姆斯排在第4位，这似乎在说明他们曾经的位置和未来的方向。
这些双人组中有两对尚未一起打过球。在连续两年于西部决赛中被淘汰出局后，明尼苏达森林狼决定做出改变。上一次森林狼做出大变动时，他们把KAT交易到了尼克斯。这对尼克斯来说效果不错（某种程度上，下文会详述）。他们将一代天才安东尼·爱德华兹与拉梅洛·鲍尔配对。鲍尔和爱德华兹是本赛季最受期待的组合，因此整个赛季他们都会备受瞩目。
与此同时在东部，扬尼斯·阿德托昆博已经移师南海滩，为迈阿密热火再添一位明星球员。与巴姆·阿德巴约搭档，这两人将在内线和篮板方面成为巨大的威胁。
至于排在第3位的杰伦·布伦森和卡尔-安东尼·唐斯，基于KAT在总决赛第四节的得分表现（五场比赛总共只得到5分），很难将他视为顶级球员。虽然这只是一个小样本，但这是总决赛——小样本中风险最高的版本。
榜单上还有什么让你们印象深刻的吗？

The above post is not 100% accurate. For one, it is a Top 12 list, not a Top 10. But #12 are Golden State Warriors legends Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. #11 is Cade Cunnigham and Jalen Duren.
Though the actual article list the Philadelphia 76ers at #5, it says “Sixers choose your own adventure” meaning that on any given night, their best two players may fluctuate. Between Jaylen Brown, LeBron James, Tyrese Maxey, V. J. Edgecombe, and Joel Embiid, there is a lot of firepower coming out of the City of Brotherly Love.
And at #1, the Spurs list Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle/Dylan Harper.
For so many years now, the Spurs flew under the radar of national attention. Even back in the days of Timmy, Tony, and Manu, there never seemed to be recognition at the national level of just what was transpiring in San Antonio.
The Spurs 2026 Final appearance has garnered them plenty of attention as well as an increase in nationally televised games. Victor Wembanyama, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, made the NBA2K27 cover.
It should come as no surprise that the 2023 and 2024 back-to-back Rookies of the Year are a tandem to be reckoned with considering the advances they have made since their respective rookie seasons. The addition of Harper just underscores (a) how well the Spurs have drafted over the last three years, (b) how great these players are, and (c) how great they are together.
A few opinions (through Silver & Black colored glasses):
- Out of eighteen teams, there has to be a better duo than Curry and Green. Thoughts?
- I love me some Derrick White, but is Jayson Tatum and Derrick White a better duo than Tatum and Jaylen Brown?
- Luka Doncic and Austin Reeves sounds like step down from Luka Doncic and LeBron James. Does Reeves truly have what is takes to be Robin to Doncic’s Batman?
- 2025 NBA Champions Shai Gilgeous -Alexander and Jalen Williams in the fourth spot seems to make a statement about where they were and where they are going.
Two of these duos have yet to play together. After being kicked out of the playoffs in the Western Conference Finals for two years, the Minnesota Timberwolves decided to shake things up. The last time the Timberwolves shook things up, they traded KAT to the Knicks. Worked out well for the Knicks (s0rt of, more on that below). They have paired their generational superstar Anthony Edwards with LaMelo Ball. Ball and Edwards have the most anticipated pairing this season, so there will be eyes on them throughout.
Meanwhile in the East, Giannis Antetokounmpo has moved to South Beach to give the Miami Heat another star player. Paired with Bam Adebayo, these two will be a menace in the paint and on the boards.
As for Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns in the third spot, it’s difficult to think of KAT as a top tier player based on his fourth quarter scoring in the Finals (he scored five points in total for all five games). While that’s a a small sample size, it’s the Finals, the highest stakes version of a small sample size.
What else stuck out to you all on the list?
