What's the Best Big Three in NBA History?
The Boston Celtics' trio of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen has the team off to a torrid start, which is so nice for those long-suffering New England sports fans, who haven't had anything to cheer for since, say, five minutes ago. Our question: What was the best threesome in NBA history?

Oscar Robertson, by himself, averaged a triple double for the season.

I would have to say Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, and Wilt Chamberlain

Wow, what awful writing. This isn't your day job, is it?

Desmond Bieler, referring to the 1980s Lakers, wrote: "Used to be, "Showtime" referred to something other than a premium cable channel that offers neither HBO's high-quality programming ..." Could Desmond say this if he had actually watched HBO recently? "John from Cincinnati" and "Flight of the Conchords" are NOT Tony Soprano.

Come on Desmond you've got to be kidding right? Tim Hardaway and Mitch Richmond in front of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu? They've only won 3 championships in five years together, yet you would rather feature Run TMC? Give me a break. You are obviously one of those sports media people who like me first atheletics, chest thumpers, and the like. You probably think team basketball is boring, so you discount the Spurs run as champions. If it was me, I would put Tim, Tony and Manu 4th in your list.

My vote is for Bob Pettit, Cliff Hagan, and Clyde Lovellette of the St. Louis Hawks, who averaged 75 points per game in the late 1950s, and who stopped the Celtics' winning streak mid-stream.

To Tom Conley ---- Flight of The Conchords is awesome!!

What about Elvin Hayes, Wes Unseld, and Bobby Dandridge? Led Bullets to NBA title with just average players at the guard positions. Why put Run TMC ahead of them? Shame on you - I know nationally these Bullets are forgotton, but unfortunately the local media, who was born yesterday, also forgets these guys. Elvin and Wes were 2 of the NBA's 50 greatest players ever. (Desmond: the Bullets were the Washington team before the Wizards.)

The Bucks had their "Big Three" of Allen, Robinson, and Cassell. They may not have done much on the court, but they were the biggest ego wise

the biggest big three are Kevin Garnett,Ray Allen,and Paul Pierce.
