NBA Trios.

[NashVol11]

I think Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Mano ought to have some consideration too.

Uhh really? Since when did they have two of the top 5 players in the NBA...

You think that the Celtics and Lakers from the 80's are untouchable.

No I don't. I think the 86 Celts are one of the best teams ever. I think one of the Pistons title squads was incredible and I think the Riley led Lakers were incredible.

Before you cry, look at the rosters relative to the garbage teams of the 90s, including the Bulls.

Magic, Worthy, Kareem. And I hate the Lakers,

Absolutely right. Probably the trio of the past 100 years

Really? Better than West, Baylor and Wilt?

I know that West and Baylor had an abysmal stretch in the NBA Finals in the 60's. Kareem, Magic and Worthy won 5 championships I think. Am I missing something?

West and Baylor didnt have Wilt when the Celts were beating them. Adding Wilt got them the title team. I don't know where the 3 end up, but all are top 10-15 players ever. Worthy ain't that. Sans showtime, he's a good, but limited PF.

Yeah but we all argue that Championships define how good a player is. Those guys won 5. And I'm not arguing against Wilt and West being two of the game's greats

Elgin was Jordan before Jordan was. He and West weren't on teams good enough to win titles, period. Had they been with Wilt longer, the celtics of that day would have had fewer titles.

If titles are the true measure of great trios, Bill Russell and one of a number of other pairs is the winner - by a mile.

I think Bill Russell is the best defensive player in NBA history

And Bob Horry's the best forward in the NBA over the last 20 years.

Cry?

Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Kukoc made a pretty solid squad.
