Erving, Malone, Toney

Magic, Kareem, Worthy >

*Insert any 3 nba players post 200 here*

I knew it would be this exact team but I thought you'd pick cheeks instead. Btw, not even close. 80's stans are always hyping that era.

Magic, Kareem, Worthy >

Arguable...By the time those 3 above teamed up, Kaj wasn't in his prime. Toney was as good or a better scorer than Worthy, and Moses dominated Kaj in their head to head.

Close though...also Wilt, Baylor, and West

Watch the highlights, man. After, tell me those 3 players won't dominate in any era.

Cheeks was a great PG, but Toney was one of the most explosive scorers in NBA history. Do some research. Ainge talked about fearing Toney more than any other player. If memory serves me right, this included Jordan.

Toney wasn't called the the Boston Strangler for nothing.

Moses is so underrated on this board ..

Erving, Malone, Toney
1983 76ers ECF Game 5 vs the Bucks

Sam Jones, Bill Russell & John H.
Rodman, Pippen, Jordan
Worthy, KAJ & Magic
Bird, McHale & RP
James, Wade, Bosh

Are comparable; not sure if any are better though.
Malone, Dr. J & Toney were a great trio.

I wonder how great Paul, Kobe & Howard would have been.

[superteamtheory]

1. Magic-Kareem-Worthy (two top 10 players ever + another great ... criminal!)
2. Bird-McHale-Parish
3. Duncan-Parker-Gino
4. Bron-Wade-Bosh
5. MJ-Pippen-Rodman
6. Russell-Havlicek-Jones
7. Russell-Cousy-Jones
8. K.G.-Pierce-Allen
9. Reed-Frazier-Debusschere
10. Ben Wallace-Billups-Sheed / Isiah-Dumars-Rodman

and some limitedtime specials:

Webber-Peja-Vlade
Isiah-Rodman-Dantley
K.D.-Westbrook-Harden
Wilt-West-Baylor
Kobe-Pau-Artest
Duncan-Aldridge-Kawhi

best one that almost but didn't happen:

T-Mac-Yao-Metta

just a little bit too late:

Hakeem-Barkley-Drexler- < would have been the ultimate if they get it together sooner

... might be some others also ... meaningful stat: Bron had to play against 3-4 of the teams on that list above... players with the next worst luck: K.G./Pierce/Allen (had to play Heat Big 3 & 2010 Lakers..)

Moses, Erving, Toney is more comparable to Wilt, West, Goodrich... sort of a one-off that was successful for a little while but there have been better...

[Marchesk]

Kobe, Shaq, Horry

[Bernkastel]

Jordan-Pippen-Jackson

[JohnnySic]

Bird/McHale/Parish - the original big 3 (literally; the pharse was coined for them. It was after they were gone, but still...)

Important point - its because they were all good and physically big. Dennis Johnson was also a hof'er but wasn't included because he wasn't a big. 3 great players dont make a "big 3"; they all need to be bigs.
