Re: 3 on 3: '12 Lebron/'06 Kobe/'14 Durant vs '87 Magic/'91 MJ/'86 Bird
Lol at those saying Mj Bird Magic. Bron Kobe Durant way too athletic and offensively versatile to be guarded by an inferior defensive trio. Can you even imagine Bird and Magic TRYING to guard Bron and Durant? Kobe will get killed tho, but Bron makes up for him.

Bird and DJ used to do this off-the-ball move all the time. Bird hangs out on one side of the key and makes like he's going to other side to set up, but then he stops under the basket and DJ rifles a pass to him. Usually he was able to go up uncontested, here he uses an up fake to get free.....probably because his old coach told Houston to look out for this move.

He wouldn't be able to hang with anyone defensively( neither would Bird for that matter)...
- Durant is too tall, will shoot right over the top pretty much unimpeded.
- Kobe has too many offensive moves, in addition to athleticism
- Lebron, too much athleticism
Honestly the best team to counter Durant/Lebron/ Kobe, start with Jordan and Pippen. I'm just not sure who you'd pick as the third player. If I had to choose between Bird and Magic for this scenario, I'd pick Bird due to being the better scorer and same level of passing/IQ, better rebounder and only needs a split second to get his shot off with his off-ball movement.
