After our interview with Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson, we got to thinking about other top Big East Tandems in the history of the NBA. We came up with a list of 10 Dynamic Duos. There are many more Big East pairs than this, but we decided this was a pretty good sample.

We only counted pairs that were on the same team for at least 50 games, so no Dikembe with AI in 2001. We didn’t count any pairs in which a player averaged fewer than 5.0 PPG or if the player was the third of three Big East players on the same team. And if the same pair played together for more than one season, we only included their highest total output. That enough disclaimers for you?

As expected, most of these combos include one or two Hoyas, but there are some surprises in there as well - Check out #3 on the list!
