    Default Forgotten Big Threes

    Sometimes, there is a big three or trio that, with the passage of time or another trio, gets forgotten and it's easy to dismiss how good they were.

    What are some groups that fall under this category?

    Two that come to my mind: Steve Nash/Dirk Nowitzki/Michael Finley in Dallas and Ray Allen/Glenn Robinson/Sam Cassell in Milwaukee.

    back in the early 2000's they were considered the big 3.

    Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor

    Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Gail Goodrich
    (this should also count, they won a ring and Goodrich was prime all-star caliber at the time)

    Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Kareem Abdul Jabbar

    Jordan, Pippen, Rodman

    Jordan, Pippen, Grant

    tough juice, hibachi, and twan.

    not much defense, or any meaningful success really, but so fun to watch.

    What about Gilbert, Hughes and Jamison from the Wiz back in the middle of the last decade. They were entertaining to watch...
