I would add 3 more trios that belong in this list:

Lakers: Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, James Worthy

Rockets: Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, Clyde Drexler

Thunder: Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden

Level 69

Yes why not ! At the begining I choose to use the names of this french wikipedia page but yes, i'm agree :D Thanks

Level 66

Oct 17, 2016

Only two of these trios did not win an NBA championship: the Rockets trio and the Thunder trio. Also, the 2008 Celtics Big Three was more of a Big Four. Show some love for Rondo!

Level 69

Oct 17, 2016

Ah yes, Rondo could be add, but I could ad Durant for the Warriors too ^^. I'm going to let it like this, thanks for playing :)

Great quiz. Agree with all decisions about who's in/out of the Big 3.

Level 69

Feb 24, 2017

Well, thanks :)

Level 6

Feb 20, 2017

If Charles Barkley played for the rockets from 1996, why is it written as a big 3 from 1994 to 1996? Seriously I got 29 out of 30 because of that.

Level 69

Feb 22, 2017

It's jst a game man. Moreover I don't understand the problem because I've never written the "1994". I just think you've done a mistake.

Level 22

Not really a big 3 because one of them were always injured so they played like 13 games together before the playoffs

The Boston Celtics big three played much longer than 1 year. I think it was from 2007-2012

Level 48

Level 21

In my opinion derrick white should be replaced with porzingis

Level 78

Nov 1, 2024

Pretty good list. I see a lot of suggestions of Big 2 plus one other guy...i'd keep it exactly like you have it. Only argument from me is that Celtics team with a Big 4. It's tough to pick 3.

Level 17

May 17, 2025

You should add the big three of Kobe Shaq And Derrick Fisher

Level 29
