NBA Reunions

Hardaway signs with Heat, reunites with Shaq
Associated Press
MIAMI -- Penny Hardaway and Shaquille O'Neal are together again.

In light of this, "Lets Go to Smokes", had decided to take a brief look at 5 memorable tandems (not in any particular order) from the late 1990s and early 2000s, which with the right magic (not Orlando), could reunite once again.
Today we look at:
1. Kevin Garnett and Stephon Marbury: Minnesota Timberwolves
-After calling themselves the best of friends, regarded as the best young 1-2 punch in the NBA, and leading the Timberwolves to their first playoff win, these two called it quits in 1997, when Marbury was traded due to salary demands close to Garnett's.
Reunification:
Looking for a proven winner, Isaiah Thomas trades Starbury to Boston for Tom Brady of the New England Patriots, not realizing Brady's sport or the fact that he is the most hated man in the East Coast, south of New Haven, CT, Thomas leads the Knicks into further disaster, while Brady is last seen in the back of a black lincoln, south on the New Jersey Turnpike. Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics, with Starbury, Allen, Pierce, Garnett and the front man from the Dropkick Murphys, decide that they are good enough to play two teams at once. Under their new schedule, they play 2 teams a night, therefore, creating more time to "chill" before the playoffs. They go on to make the # 6 seed in the Eastern Conference.
Coming Soon:
2. Alonzo Mourning and Tim Hardaway: Miami Heat
3. Jamal Mashburn, Jason Kidd and Jim Jackson: Dallas Mavericks
4. Allen Iverson, et al:Philadelphia 76ers
5. Alan Houston, et al: New York Knicks
