father and son 2 on 2 tournament

I feel bad after letting Isaac down on the EC/DC thread last week, so as a lame-arsed imitation I've come up with this idea:

You've got a time machine. The first thing you decide to do is hold a father-and-son 2-on-2 tournament, where you use the time machine to get both the father and son at the peak of their careers.

Who would win such a tournament? The names I've come up with so far, both international and Australian:

US/International
- Joe "Jellybean" and Kobe Bryant
- Bill and Luke Walton

Local/National
- Cal and CJ Bruton (what is CJ going to call his baby son, if and when that day comes: CJJ? CJ Junior?)
- Lindsay and Andrew Gaze (not sure what Lindsay was like as a player, but equally not sure that it matters a whole lot - what I'd be interested in from the Gazes is how they run the shuffle offense with just two players)

Who else cuts the mustard in these tournaments?

John Lucas and His Son in the NBA - both good point guards with smarts (small team though~)

Kareem and his son . See Summer pro-league for his son.

A pair you will not see :

Isaiah Thomas and his openly gay-non-athletic-chip-on-his-shoulder-dad-never-rang-me-illegitemate-son .

See ESPN article for the low-down.

Rick Barry and whichever son you choose - Scooter, Brent, Jon, or Drew.

Darryl & Derrick McDonald. Derrick has played in the VBL for Bulleen and also the Pioneers in Mount Gambier. Might be a little early to rate Derrick as he is young and may progress onto NBL in the future.

Locally, Brian and Simon Kerle.

Ken McClary (Ex Sydney Kings) and Trevor Ariza (2nd Year New York Knicks). That is some muscle.
