And that is a big 3. 2008-2010 odom is not even a top 10 pf in that time. Bynum is always in top 10 in that time so I guess Bynum gasol and kobe is the big 3 but he always injured. He never complete the 82 games in that 3 years 65 is the highest. And he did not played in 2008 finals in 2009 he just 6ppg 4.2rpg 0.6 apg 0.6 bpg not that effective and in 2010 he just avg 7.4 ppg 6.6 rpg 0 ap 1.3 bpg and lamar odom great number 13. 5ppg 9rpg 2008 13.4ppg 7.8 rpg 2009 7.6 ppg 6.6rpg 2010 good number but I can't consider it a big 3. So for me kobe and Shaq is a duo kobe and pau is also a duo. And kobe never have 2 all star caliber in his side. Wade is the franchise player of Miami before lebron came bosh is franchise player of Toronto before. Also Irving and love in Cavs and wolves. And this 4 can avg 20 points per game. Kobe never have 2 players can avg 20ppg only one so kobe always have duo. Not big 3. Kobe got big 4 but Payton is old and Malone too and they only play 1 year. They got big 3 Howard and Nash but Howard is not healthy and Nash is old and not also healthy. He got big 3 potentially dlo is young and randle too and his time is past that time because of Achilles and many injury after that injury. So I guess kobe never have a big 3 in his time I wish they get Chris Paul or Howard in 2011 maybe he got the 3 peats again and his 6 rings.

Jason Kidd guarded Kobe, Westbrook, and Dwayne wade in back to back series. And offensively, Kidd was as good as ever at setting up his teammates. Despite all that, that Mavericks team would've lost if LeBron hadn't choked. If LeBron hadn't choked, that Miami team would be 3rd on my list.

@@RossRadikSherman you actually raise a good point which totally slipped my mind...Kahwai wasn’t technically part of the big 3 that’s being discussed. The Spurs trio still did win 4 together, even if Kahwai was the best player on that team that year. And if you compare the stats in the last finals, Duncan, Ginobli, and Parker outplayed bosh and Wade. And you can also make an argument in the mavs final, Jason Terry had a bigger impact than Bron lol. I still have the Spurs there, simply bc I don’t think that heat team was that good. It wasn’t just that they lost two finals series, it’s how they lost, who they lost to, and how they won. They never dominated. Even the Shaq/Kobe lakers were more dominant and if they played the heat head to head, I have the lakers dismantling the heat. Shaq/Kobe/insert random laker player are still ahead of the heat trio on my list. You’re right about the mavs - they were a good team - they finished with the second best record in the league, tied with the lakers. But the lakers were a mess that whole season. Odom and Bynum played half the reg season (and this was before Bynum peaked and was constantly dealing with being injured). The team was burned out from winning back to back championships. I even think Phil was diagnosed with cancer or something that year and I think that was also odoms last year in LA. They were a team in turmoil. The baby thunder just werent ready yet, young talent often loses to experienced vets in the playoffs. Despite cruising into the finals, no one had the Mavs beating the heat. The heat were heavy Vegas favorites and they were also picked by the majority of talking heads and sports analysts. And you even said it yourself, if Lebron showed up, they beat the mavs. He didn’t. The only convincing win by the Heatles was beating the baby thunder. Ray Allen just happened to be at the right place at the right time when Bosh randomly tipped out that rebound. It was a fluke play. And we saw how the Spurs just rolled them the next year. I was more impressed at how the Spurs and mavs easily destroyed the heat than when they beat up on a young OkC team. That’s why they don’t make my top 5.

There is no argument he is the best rebounder and defensive player of all time wilt was 7 something playing against a bunch of non athletic white boys( no offense to my Caucasian brothers) bill also they didn’t have to guard shaq, David Robinson,Hakeem,Ewing zo,Kareem,Malone and also stay in front of guys like Larry Johnson,Oakley,Rick smits,detlef,horry, Webber, sheed,worthy,Barkley,Garnett but also guard Kobe, Penny,Reggie,Mullen,glen rice,vin baker,glen Robinson,Derrick Coleman,Eddie Jones fam I can go on and on Rodman is the best defender of all time hands down

[@timdoyle1638]

Rico Wright Bill Russell was a better rebounder than wilt, being 5 inches shorter and a hell of a lot lighter still averaged more rebounds/minute in his career than wilt. Also you have to take into account how much the rebounding statistic was inflated back in the 50-60’s. It’s very difficult to compare Rodman or players from the 90’s to players from the 60’s. Rodman could honestly be the greatest rebounder of all time, it was much more difficult to grab a rebound in the 90’s than the 60’s. It’s hard to say, But I think that’s why the dude said “arguably” the best rebounder.

It took a good decade for the NBA to increase its depth by expanding their influence overseas and that is when the Dirks of the world started flooding the league making the league deeper. Jordan and Pippen dominated a very thinned out NBA in the 90's. Granted it got more difficult for them in the later half as it was starting to recover.. but still.. no team in the league had a roster with a trio of stars that had a hope to match them.

@@oneadvocate9517 Pistons had 4, Lakers had 3, SuperSonics had 2, Jazz had 2. Also check out the Rockets, Trailblazers, and Celtics during that era. Everybody just thinks that era was weak because the Bulls beat everybody and ended dynasties. Sorry they didn't lose more so that you'd have a higher opinion of the era, but that's what happens when you have 2 of the best 10 players of all-time (probably the best 2 two-way players of all-time) on the same team.

Up to a point on the latter part of that argument. I felt the rules changes were made in the mid 90s, after the Pistons had molded their style according to the rules in place, in the late 80s, but right after them the Knicks, under Pat Riley who I feel learned from Chuck Daly how to bring a rough team into the NBA and win with that style of defense (having lost to them while coach of the Lakers in the 80s). If you ask me it was those two teams, Pistons & Knicks coached by Daly & Riley, bringing down scoring averages with stellar defense played 'by the rules', that were responsible for commissioner lightening up what defenses could get away with, that changed the whole equation. And yes, I'd put Bird, McHale, Parish in the top 5 also.

[@bigbowss9817]

Nah physicality was the same from 80s to 90s, but defense in late 90s to early 2000s was the highest level ever. 80s was an offensive era (not like today, but far more so then 90s)...
