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.

Re: Forgotten Big Threes
Sam Cassell/Ray Allen/Glenn Robinson
back in the early 2000's they were considered the big 3.

Re: Forgotten Big Threes
Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor
(definitely the first one of super-star status)
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

Re: Forgotten Big Threes
Not really forgotten but Nash/Amare/Marion were a very talented Big 3.

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