Top 'Chips And Salsa' Duos In Sports

Nothing says Cinco de Mayo like eating chips and salsa while sipping on your favorite margarita.

Chips and salsa might be one of the greatest duos in history. The only real competition for best duo may be Batman and Robin or peanut butter and jelly.

When talking about duos in sports, there have been plenty over the years.

Jordan and Pippen, Mays and McCovey, Montana and Rice, etc.

In today's sports world, some of the greatest Chips and Salsa duos are taking over their respective leagues.

Let's take a look at the best duos in each of the four major sports:

NBA - Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson

Not only is this duo the best in the NBA today, but they could even be considered the best back court to ever play the game.

The two averaged 52.2 points per game during the 2015-16 regular season while leading the Golden State Warriors to a record 73 wins.

"The Splash Brothers" hold the first four spots of the most three pointers in a single seasons.

Honorable mention - Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge

NFL - Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski

These two have hooked up for 64 touchdowns since Gronkowski came into the league in 2010.

The quarterback to tight end combination have been the most dominant duo in the NFL since Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison were both on the Indianapolis Colts.

Gronkowski has gone for double digit touchdowns in all but one season which was cut short because of an injury.

The duo has led an ever changing New England Patriots offense for the past six seasons and won a Superbowl together in 2014.

Honorable mention - Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown

MLB - Madison Bumgarner and Buster Posey

Bumgarner and Posey are easily the best battery in Major League Baseball today.

Both players are three-time All-Stars, Silver Slugger Award winners and played crucial roles in each of the San Francisco Giants' three World Series Championships in 2010, 2012 and 2014.

The duo came up through the minors together and have been dominating in the majors for the last six seasons.

Posey was the 2012 NL MVP, while Bumgarner earned MVP honors in both the 2014 NLCS and World Series.
