lol at people paying for ESPN Insider
Oh it's today's trio.Reading comprehension lacking.
5. Chicago Bulls
Derrick Rose: 23.1 | Carlos Boozer: 19.8 | Joakim Noah: 19.6
Combined PER: 62.5 (20.8 average)
4. Los Angeles Lakers
Andrew Bynum: 23.0 | Kobe Bryant: 22.0 | Pau Gasol: 20.5 | Steve Nash: 20.3
Combined PER: 65.5 (21.8 average)
3. San Antonio Spurs
Manu Ginobili: 24.2 | Tim Duncan: 22.6 | Tony Parker: 22.0
Combined PER: 68.8 (22.9 average)
2. Oklahoma City Thunder
Kevin Durant: 26.2 | Russell Westbrook: 23.0 | James Harden: 21.1
Combined PER: 70.3 (23.4 avg.)
1. Miami Heat
LeBron James: 30.8 | Dwyane Wade: 26.4 | Chris Bosh: 18.9
Combined PER: 76.1 (25.4 avg.)
The top 5 trios were the 5 best teams in Nba.The Celtics got lucky in the playoffs.Those were the 5 best teams in order,but I'll switch Bulls and Lakers.
He was asking about the top trios in NBA history, not top trios now.
Imo, and in order:
1: Jordan/Pippen/3rd best player (Grant, then Rodman the 2nd run)
2: Magic/Kareem/Worthy
3: Duncan/Ginobili/Parker
4: Kobe/Shaq/whoever (Horry?)
5: Bird/McHale/Parish
LBJ/Wade/Bosh hasn't been together long enough or won enough to be listed with them. Every other trio up there has won at least 3 les together.
I'm sure there's one with Bill Russell there, but I don't know enough about his teams to be able to say which trio was the best for them during their long run.
Bird/Bias...just kidding.
If you cannot name them all, they weren't a trio.
the dallas triple J deserves sort of nomination here imho, the ephemeral trio didn't win much glory but they did spark some lights back in that time, had they kept the trio they'd have probably won championships years ago but yeah, dallas FO has a peculiar tradition of breaking up their champion core for fun
Triple D Dynasty es
I could and did. The only reason I said "whoever" is because Glen Rice would've been the third guy in their trio, as opposed to Horry who was the third best guy for the last two les in their three peat. So I couldn't just say Horry since he would've been the 4th wheel the first year to Rice.
I think I'd pretty safely rate Bird/McHale/Parish over Duncan/Manu/Parker.
^ Best frontcourt ever IMO
Lower team win % for Celtics, yet same # of les.
I wouldn't rate them higher.
duncan/manu/parker trio was one of the greatest in NBA history which won that city 3 MF'N rings all together, and yup that trio is pretty much in history already. at present time no trio comes nearly as good as what we have tbh.
Bynum and his ties
Let's break it down by players, in order of their importance:
Bird > Duncan
I think this is a pretty safe assumption. As good as Duncan is, Bird is considered top 5 in most lists, Duncan top 10. Duncan, like other Spurs below, does beat Bird out in PER and WS per 48.
McHale > Manu
As good as Manu is, let's look at the numbers.
McHale: 17.9 PPG, 7.3 RPG, 1.7 APG, .4 SPG, 1.9 TurnoversPG
Manu: 15.2 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 3.9 APG, 1.5 SPG, 2.1 TurnoversPG
Numbers don't tell everything, but in this case I think they're pretty fair. Looking at advanced metrics McHale wins out in most categories except:
WS per 48: Manu .216, McHale .180
PER: Manu 21.8, McHale 20.0
It's not enough to sway my opinion though.
Parish = Parker
Parish: 14.5 PPG, 9.1 RPG, 1.4 APG, .8 SPG, 2.1 TPG
Parker: 16.8 PPG, 3.0 RPB, 5.9 APG, 1 SPG, 2.5 TPG
Again, using advanced metrics:
WS per 48: Parish .154, Parker .146
PER: Parish 19.2, 18.8
I think Parish is better than Parker, but statistically, it's certainly not a landslide.
Too soon......Bird/Bias...just kidding.
That's all you need to know
Advanced metrics
Way to valiantly not take either side. It's this kind of quality take that really makes Spurstalk the envy of all other forums.That's all you need to know
Advanced metrics
Magic/Kareem/Worthy wins out over all.
10. 1968-69 Los Angeles Lakers
Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor
In July 1968, Chamberlain was traded from Philadelphia to L.A., forming what was perhaps the NBA's very first modern-style Big 3 with West and Baylor. The result was a 55-win Lakers team that boasted three inner-circle Hall of Famers with PERs north of 20 -- although, oddly enough, the Wilt-infused '68-69 Lakers actually represented an offensive decline from the 1967-68 version, a team whose No. 3 player was Archie Clark.
Even so, L.A.'s 1968-69 team would meet expectations, eventually coming within a Game 7 Finals loss of being only the second team to topple the Celtics in a playoff series since 1958.

Does anyone have insider or link?
Just putting another person in there isn't the same as a "trio" in basketball.
Shaq/Kobe was a duo, they are remembered as such. Jordan/Pippen were a duo and are remembered as such. Duncan, Parker and Ginobili are a trio and will be remembered as such, as will Durant, Westbrook and Harden or James, Wade and Bosh, or KG, Allen, Pierce.
No one says "James, Wade and Bosh or Chalmers", or "KG, Allen and Pierce or Rondo".
