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

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
RUN TMC are far from forgotten
-
Re: Forgotten Big Threes
Brad Daugherty, Mark Price & Larry Nance.
Terry Cummings, Paul Pressey & Sidney Moncrief.
Charles Barkley, Kevin Johnson & Dan Majerle.
Clyde Drexler, Terry Porter, Clifford Robinson.
And growing up, I loved watching the 3 J's in Dallas (Kidd, Mashburn & Jackson). Why did Dallas blow it up? They never really gave it a chance.

No one but the casual fan forgets about these trios.
Anyway, I'd go Marbury, KG and Gugliotta.

Terrible post.
Quoted, copied & pasted into an e-mail to myself, printed, framed and put on my mantel, with the words "Future Neg" on the frame in gold writing.
Anyway, I think a trio that people tend to forget about are VC, Kidd & Richard Jefferson. They didn't make much noise as far as contending in the Playoffs goes but that was a very talented threesome right there.
No h0m0
