Definitely thunder
@screaaamintats Kobe got plagued with injuries that season, Nash was washed by that point but I'll agree with you about Howard lmfao
Honorary mentioning: Ron Artest, Jermaine O'Neal and Stephen Jackson 2004 NBA Season! Remember the "The Malice at the Palace"! Indiana Pacers were a good team during that season but, wiped by the Detroit Pistons in the playoffs!
Pacers hibbert,george,granger
Olajuwon, Barkley, Pippen
Honorable mention would be the Lob City Clippers.
It was a Big 4 (CP3, Griffin, DJ, and Crawford)
@@hecksters423 Then get the odd man out, Crawford
Idk how he has the Thunder on here and not Lob City who literally never made the conference finals
@@justcurious2439 Because LAC talent inferior. You're comparing Harden to Blake and WB to DeAndre Jordan lmao
@@Th1sIsMyLegacy Blake was better than Harden at the time though
The 2013 Celtics with Keith Bogans, Marshon Brooks, and Kris Humphries
Right that’s championship or bust right there
Naw not really they was outmatched
Kris Humphries is known for marring Kim kardashian for 72 days
lmao
I forgot about Kris Humphries, lmao
T-Mac, Yao Ming, and Ron Artest. That team woulda done something if injuries didn't ruin them
Took Lakers to 7 games without Yao and Tmac.
Not a big 3.
Well the thing about Tmac and Yao was that they had injury plagued careers so idk if you would include teams where 2 of the 3 big three players were always injured.
They could have gotten to the finals if they were healthy.
Can't call them a disappointment for things out of their control. They played well together when healthy
Ryan Kelly, Robert Sacre and Carlos Boozer was the most disappointing trio ever but they lead with 256 claps and a career high 157 cheers a game (best in the league)
Lol
That’s 3 ain’t that big cause who is the super star
@@Dontcutitoff he posted that comment as a joke
@@Dontcutitoff boozer
greatest of all time.
“No Big 4s Big 5s, just Big 3s.” Rajon Rondo is somewhere crying.
so is Serge after he mentioned the thunder
Weirdly enough, I think Ibaka in his 30s would've been more useful to those thunder teams than he was in his 20s
But Rondo still got a ring out of it so why you hatin'?
@@cottonisbaked he’s not hating
@@Abcdefg-rk8jk Why he specifically mention Rondo than?
I would put Kobe, Steve and Dwight as most disappointing trio ever.
That's the most disappointing
On paper vs reality team ever
Howard was like not 3 season removed from the finals
Nash and d'Anthony but on paper they are the 2 least influenced by old age
Gasol and metta world peace were back to back champions like 2 years before that
That was a big 5 with pau and Ron artest too
The clippers too with cp3 Blake and deandre
Nash’s body broke down immediately and Dwight never meshed with Kobe. It was Murphy’s law
@Tiger I think people also forget Dwight came off back surgery that year he joined the Lakers so he wasn't 100% until it was to late
Nash, Finley, Dirk. Im a bit hesitant on this because they played against the Spurs and Kings. However, they let Nash walk in 04 where he won the MVP that same season.
I felt like that trio should've gotten a championship.
@@B-ROCK89Production me either. If Dirk didnt went down with knee injury during the 2003 WCF then who knows.
@@allanpaoloalingod1863 💯
They also had antwan Jamison and antoine walker after that year.
Not a big 3.
Latrell "I have a family to feed" Sprewell. Classic.
Richard Jefferson, Vince carter, Jason Kidd... absolute favorite nets team but just got bounced every year even with all that fire power
True, I remember them totally underperforming with the hype that surrounded that team. Kept losing to the Heat in the playoffs and never made it past the 2nd round. Carter and Kidd just didn't have any chemistry together.
It was so tough... I’ve been a nets fan since 2000 and VC was my all time favorite player so it was a dream come true just to completely underwhelm....
@@johnyaworski7445 hey man at least the Nets went to back to back finals. I've always been a Bullets/Wizards fan from the Webber & Howard days to the MJ and Hamilton/Stackhouse days to the Arenas, Jamison & Butler days to the Wall and Beal days to now and the constant theme with the Wizards is that they're all hype but never play up to their expectations. In the mid 2000s those Arenas led teams were really fun to watch but you knew they wouldn't reach their potential, the Wiz always underperform idk why but that's always been the case. At least your Nets now look like they're going to make a finals run, just wait until Durant comes back. I hope they do make the finals and I hope they destroy the Lakers cause I can't stand LeBron. I'd like to see Harden and Griffin win a title too.
Facts. The Gilbert, Butler, and Jamison era felt extremely similar to what the nets went through with their big 3. But hey man you never know look at the nets now from 3-4 years ago no average fan being able to name one player on our team to 3 superstars. You just never know what could come down the line
@@johnyaworski7445 thats my hope, Brooklyn is a more desirable city to play in than DC and it looks like we're about to blow the team up after this season but who knows, after another rebuild all it takes is drafting well and signing the right kind of guys. I forgot about the Garnett, Pierce, Joe Johnson, Lopez and D Williams Nets, I know they were past their prime but I remember that Nets team having a lot of hype.
if Demarcus Cousins didn't get that achilles in 2017-18 , who knows what could've happened and this was Cousins's best chance to reach his first playoff appearance
Healthy Boogie and AD looked dangerous
He ended up getting it a year later tbf
@@qwertyzxcvbn3174 the metrics may not be friendly to the Boogie/AD duo but there was something there if not for that injury.
I almost misread that
I don't like how he downgraded A.D. and Cousins. A.D. and Cousins were starting to get hot when cousins got injured. They were on a seven-game winning streak when he went down. Yeah, they continued winning after he went down; but if he was still there, they could have made noise in the playoffs.
Run TMC Warriors were a great team, featuring 2 HOF and 1 that should be HOF, but never made the conference finals, due to a lack of defense.
They got broken up too early, and when they were still together the West was stacked, starting with LA, then Portland, Phoenix, Utah, etc.
Another disappointing big 3: Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, Jimmy Butler
Big 4 including Tobias Harris
Ben Simmons messed it up
The fact they chose to keep Simmons and Harris over Butler was a terrible decision long term
@@kalakalboy5272 nah
@@kalakalboy5272 big contract is about it with Harris
Most disappointing will always be the late 60s early 70s Lakers. Had Wilt Elgin and Jerry and bill was still whooping they ass 🤦
he was retired then
@@mas7263 he beat them in 1969 in his last nba finals
To be fair, bill legit had all of the nba’s best players on his teams (other than the lakers 3)
@@colewrld901 Yeah, but those 3 only lost to em once
@@cameronlaflore8744 wilt Jerry and Elgin should've been more than enough to win like 3 rings lol but they lost in 2 finals in a row to the Celtics and knicks, won in 72 then lost in 73 to the Knicks again lol that's terrible
I really feel bad for Charles Barkley that he didn't get a ring smh. He had the skills but never the right situations
Atleast he can say he’s the GOAT to never win one lmao

@@CJTrif he’s right. Karl Malone is the greatest player ever to not win a ring
Mid 2000’s Suns teams with Steve Nash, Shawn Marion, and Amare Stoudemire should be an honorable mention here
2007 still hurts!!
Didnt they get robbed?
@@GreaterSociety ye
They could have been champions in 2007 hadn't been for that bastard referee betting against phoenix robbing us of our last great season and only opportunity to be champions
Great teams though
Steve Nash, Amare, and The Matrix. I just knew they were gonna win one together, that Fun in the Sun offense was unstoppable
Not a superteam
@Interdimensional Bigfoot not really. Marion and Amar'e were very limited offensive players who Nash made allstars. And they had no bench. Superteams have never existed the way the media makes it out to be. Joel Anthony and a rookie pg did not start on a superteam. People think there players make a team or great individuals make a great team. Our international teams have been proving that theory wrong for two decades now.
But they didn’t even win a ring.
@@keithjoseph128 HOW NOT SUPERTEAM HAD 4 ALLSTARS U LIAR !!
NASH JOE MATRIX AMARE U LIAR
@@keithjoseph128 AMARE LIMITED ?? ARE U BLIND ?? YES U R !! U LIAR
It's crazy how Melo is on 2 out of these 7 teams lmao
Same with Westbrook. Him, Durant and Harden definitely would've won a title if they kept that team together but Anthony never had a chance, his style of play doesn't win you championships.
@T Mitch Thibs Knicks are headed in the right direction. Scrappy team with young talent, a lot of upside there. Finally y'alls future looks bright. They mauled my Wizards in back to back games. They just play hard and play fundamental tough defense and now that they're relevant they'll attract a superstar type of player that will put them over the top. They have the 5th seed locked down since the Hornets lost Ball for the year. I hope this is a start to the Knicks being a consistently good basketball team because the NBA is better when the Knicks are good.
@@ryanb7013 The Knicks are going nowhere. Literally 2 games over .500. They will probably not make the playoffs now that the Bulls are a better team. The management is not good and had ample chances over the last decade to make a better team. Also the Wizards should be better than they are if you look at the roster. Maybe if you guys would actually give Deni Avdija some playing time 🙄
@@justcurious2439 the Knicks won't make playoffs? They're tied with the 4th seed with a Hornets team that's lost Ball for the season. They'll 100% make playoffs. They won't do anything in the playoff but given how terrible that franchise has been lately and given how their ownership and front office are the reason why they've been bottom dwellers in the East I'd say they're headed in the right direction. Whether they build off of this year is another story, can't trust them to make the right decisions or make the right moves so who knows how they'll respond next season. On paper the Wiz should be a 4 or 5 seed in the East. Losing Thomas Bryant for the season early on doesn't help. Brooks is a terrible coach, they play no defense whatsoever and they have the worst front court in the NBA. Russ and Beal need help and its frustrating watching them play. At least they're a fun team to watch. They're 5 games back from the 8th seed so I doubt they'll make a run. I'm loyal to my teams though no matter how bad they are. Props to you noticing Avdija though, you know your basketball. That goes to show you how terrible of a coach Brooks is and given how thin our roster is at the moment there's no reason why he's averaging only 21 min per game. Coaches this time of year usually give their rookies more time on the court to get that experience and grow so it's frustrating to see our 9th pick not getting the opportunities and the playing time he should be getting. Brooks needs to go after the season
“But but he’s underrated!!!!”
- Melo fans
A hopeful Knicks fanbase is much of the reason a 2012 apocalypse seemed plausible.
Much love from Best Korea.
You're in North Korea?
@@qwertyzxcvbn3174 thank god for NordVPN
@@ThugShakers4Christ wait really
The Pelicans trio is highly underrated. AD and Cosuins formed a great inside out offense with ad being the inside force while cousins stretched the floor. Not to mention how dangerous they were defensively
Idk what he's talking about, they played pretty well together before DC got hurt
Cant forgoet about holiday
@@justcurious2439 and i wouldnt count them anyway because of the injury. We never got to see what they may have done playoff wise.
Wasnt this the first year AD even sniffed the playoffs?
@@switzaification nah 2014-15 was AD's first playoffs and the pelicans not sniffing the playoffs the following seasons wasn't even his fault
Also could have mentioned that other late 90s rockets big 3 of Hakeem Barkley and Pippen
They were all way past their prime. It was expected.
Rockets without Barkley couldn't surpassed the Sonics. They did surpassed them after they got Barkley, however, they failed to surpassed the Jazz was really shocking
Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan?
Exactly lob city was hella disappointing
That is not a big 3 and I’ll get you banned from UA-cam for mentioning that.
@@nolimitdeuce I’ll get you banned from UA-cam for agreeing with him on that bad comment
@Tiger he made an all-nba team so wtf are you talking about
@@VictorFernandezBigdestroyer ban me kiddo
Melo could’ve made this list 3 times if you included Melo, Iverson and JR Smith in ‘06-07.
??? As soon as Iverson left the sixers he clearly wasn't the same player impact-wise. He may have still gotten 27+ but u do notice, especially the year he got traded to denver those wins weren't really top-tier team wins. Jr at that time was also inconsistent, and definitely not on the level the year he won 6moy, and even then he was super shaky during playoff time.
It was only when Chauncey arrived that the nuggets looked super promising. That team needed a vet presence, especially when the spurs, lakers, mavs, suns were in the same conference.
Jr Smith was never a Big 3 piece. His best season was 6th Man of the Year on the Knicks.
LOL, JR Smith???!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@hmrhuang JR 5th...of Hennessey.
@@hmrhuang Now if it had been Randy Smith instead of JR maybe
Knicks trading for Melo:
Me: Did you did it?
Knicks: Yes...
Me: What did it cost?
Knicks: Everything...
Will never forget how good Amare and the 2011 Knicks were pre-trade.
kinda like Suns trading Marion for Shaq mid season
Harden was just a 6th man at that time and wasn't really thought as a star back then so it's kinda unfair to say that the OKC is in the category of a disappointing big 3.
Nets big 3! But not the current I'm talking KG Paul Pierce & Iso Joe! front office reality thought they pulled a doozie 🤣
Billy kings plan was to get KD on the Nets, don’t know if it went quite how he imagined but his vision looks slightly less insane now
Deron Williams has entered the chat.
I thought them too, but were they really disappointing or was it just everybody but the Nets front office knew they were too damn old 😂😂
Not a big 3
Pretty sure you mean deron williams, joe johnson, and brook lopez.
I love Andy hoops videos. Very informative and original and not yelling or narrating as if he took a whiff of cocaine like some youtubers.

>Superteam
>Arenas, Jamison, and Butler
All right we’re using it loosely here
Right...I never considered Jamison or Butler stars...let alone part of a superteam.
Me either,never new they were even teammates, 😆
Right!?! Lol
As a Bullets/Wizards fan, I didn't expect too much of our big 3 because I saw how the offense was nice but defense was lackin. And, our big men were okay but nobody to rival the best big man in the league (Shaq). Oh, and we kept making Lebron famous by gettin kicked out the playoffs by the Cavs. 🤦🏽♂️
Nothing like going on lunch breaks seeing an Andy hoops video
FACTS
Roy,Aldridge,Oden.A huge what if
They only played 60-ish games together and won like 50 of them would’ve been a consistent top 5 team for year
This trio is a What if but not as disappointing as andy's list
50-12 lifetime record together. nuts what could have been
@@joehooker7522 talking about their achievements. Beglfore you abuse somebody use your brain and understand the point

gail goodrich 🐐
Love all that super high quality HD footage of 90’s basketball.
ahh the Knicks big 3 in the early 2010s .. man what could've been , and yeah that was really short lived sadly , i really thought those years were gonna workout in new york but Melo and Amare could not work together
I wouldn't say that's a big three. More like a big 2. 1 for melo. .75 for Amare because of injuries. And .25 for Chandler lol
True but they were told old if they were 10 years back it would probably work.
ef692 Yeah, Andy loves taking slick jabs at Melo . I peeped it a while ago. His Knick big 3 segment mainly focused on Melo, when he was really the only consistent/dominant player. Tbh JR was more of a threat than Chandler/Amare , especially the last two seasons.
No way Okc’s big 3 was the most disappointing of all time: who the hell thought they were going to do anything?
Mcgrady, Artest and Yao got swept under the rug imo.
For me Yao Ming was a bust. He was over hyped by the media and just earned his inclusion in the All Star be cause of votes.
You should make a standalone video about Jabari Parker since he just got waived and the Kings was probably the last stop of his career
I'd have left the 2004 Wolves off this list for 2 reasons.
1. Shaq and Kobe's superteam was sitting on them and got all of the calls in the WCF and,
2. Stern was notorious for pulling all the stops by using refball to squash small market teams in the playoffs. (Just ask the Wolves, Blazers and Pacers during that era.) The Spurs were his token that he frequently used to silence critics.
Don't forget the Bucks. 2001 ECF vs the Sixers was pure refball.
@Fries KINGS HAD HALL OF FAMERS WEBBER DIVAC ...
SPEREE AND SAM ARE NOT HOF U MUST BE BLIND.
That wasn’t a super team in LA
@@Solidnotsour Shaq Kobe, Malone and Payton, the very definition of an attempted superteam. Plus they got the ultimate example of refball in the WCF.
@@GetBenched2010 nah Malone & Payton were far beyond their prime years. They weren’t all stars for abt 3-4 years gtfoh 🤣 that was Malones last year too, he was abt 42. If they were in their prime it would’ve been another 3-peat
KG, Sprewell, and Cassell would have been so great like 2-3yr prior. Cassell's time in MIL produced the best stats. Would have been nice to see him with KG more, especially before injuries.
THEY ARE NOT BIG 3
SPREE AND SAM ARE NOT HOF AND CANME 35 OLD. ANDY IS LIAR.
I cant image the pain of players winning over 40 games but still missing playoffs
I'd agree with you if you said 50, but 41 wins only gets you to .500. If you're only .500 or barely a winning team, you're not really contending to win any titles.
U cant talk about gillbert arenas without that gun incident
@T Mitch I’ll get you banned from UA-cam for life without another account being created for laughing at something he was correct on. You are not allowed to make fun of him saying a right thing on a horrible moment that Arenas went through.

@Oh Noyeah. But this was back when Jefferson was a young promising player that looked like he could be an all star. He was always borderline.
@@Doknot-tb9ey that was the entire league outside of LA.
You could honestly argue none of these trios were disappointments. Minnesota's big 3 prior to 03-04 was expected to make the second round at best and got to the WCF. Houston's was one of many western contenders in the 96-97 season and made the WCF. Washington had pretty shallow depth outside of their big 3 so making the second round wasn't really a disappointment. The thunder made the finals. The knicks were disappointing but were also riddled with injuries while that big 3 was together. The NOLA big 3 didn't even play a full season together. Pretty much none of these teams were disappointing unless you consider anything short of being NBA champions disappointing.
the 2011 Miami Heat Superteam (Lebron, Wade, Bosh) was very disappointing they lost to an underdog Mavs team.. this was the birth of LeChoke which became the most hated player in the NBA! 😭😢
Wanna know what’s the most successful Big 3?

He was Sixth Man of the Year. He was basically a star player Off the Bench.
Some of these aren’t what people would call these days as “Big 3”, especially since some of them were past their prime. And some weren’t really bona fide stars. Come on, Andy!
let me guess, Melo fan
Tyson chandler not a big 3 caliber
That's the problem. People will say that but the media blames LeBron for forming "superteams" when there were clearly superteams formed before he was on one. This video proves that.
Yeah, they definitely aren't big 3s
Man just lookin at all them throwbacks give me the chills maaaaaaan thats the NBA I miss
I think that 1997 rockets wasn't disappointing because all were 35 years old
The same. Kind of tired of seeing this team in this kind of video.
Yeah it silly to include that team as big 3. They were at end of their careers. If those 3 played together in their primes. They win multiple chanpionships.
Yeah. Not a big 3.
If they were in their primes, that would have been something special.
When do you think Olajuwon & Drexler won their championships, in their 20s?
I hate to say this, but this list is missing Nash, Amare and Marion.
Best record in the league, 2 time MVP, most revolutionary and exciting offense of the time, never got a ring. 😢
Not a big 3.
I thought of Joe Johnson as the 3rd piece more but you're right cuz Marion was a big player for them.
This list will make you appreciate and lately be amazed by the superteams that were formed from 70's up until now. It just show us that it wasn't about the star power, its the team chemistry, coaching staff, development of talents, and longevity of the players.

When the Dwight trade happened the media went bonkers on it but the team was an absolute disaster almost from the beginning.

Crawford of the Clippers should be on this list.
So is Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, and Al Horford of the Hawks
Deron Williams, Carlos Boozer, and Andrei Kirilenko of the Jazz.
Always good videos bro 💯💜💛 Go Lakers
Anyone remember how the 2013 Knicks went 3-1 against Miami in the regular season and everyone was going crazy 😂
Could never forget that was my squad
The 2014-2015 Lakers with Kobe Bryant, Jeremy Lin, and Carlos Boozer
Lol
You're funny.
😂😂😂😂 that’s hilarious
I was so hyped for that OKC team with PG, Westbrook and Melo. I really was hoping for them that it worked out somehow
7:00 Counting Tyson Chandler as a Big 3 is a stretch. I would replace that with the Webber, Stojakivic and Bibby Big 3, although their disappointment in 2002 came on the hands of the refs (and maybe **cough cough** the NBA front office???). Even one of the refs came out years later to admit that the series with the Lakers was rigged.
0:25 I thought he said 3 star players as in ⭐⭐⭐
A Huge shoutout to Otis Thorpe that sponsored this video.
Steve Francis, great hill, and Dwight Howard 1st year on the magic.
Extremely disappointed big 3
Do this season's Nets next
No one considered the Knicks to have a big 3 post 2012. STAT was shot by then.
Thank you. Real Knicks fans know that team had no real hope. That team was propped up by its vets. Jason Kidd, Sheed, Kenyon Martin, etc. Those guys were huge for us.
another banger video from Andy Hoops , when you hear those trumpets, it's gonna be a good one
Bro it's been a minute and you already calling it a banger😂

@@confidential5776 ok?
@@nopasta9528 why are you questioning him? That’s like saying this movie was amazing but never have seen it
#7 turned out better than expected. =)
Sprewell and Cassell were past their primes already yet gave the Timberwolves the franchise's best season ever and helped KG get MVP.
Never considered them a disappointing "big 3". More like veterans that overachieved and had the perfect chemistry for one season.
The Nets Joe Johnson, Deron Williams, and Gerald Wallace. The Nets Deron Williams, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett, the Lakers Lebron James, Russel Westbrook, and Anthony Davis. Just a few here but there has been many big three failures. All great players but just not together.
The 2013 lakers were a disappointment
Kobe
Nash
Howard
All on one team but they barely made the playoffs
Tbh that list should read
-Kobe
-A version of Nash who was already on the decline before signing and the injuries just finished him off
-The husk of Dwight Howard
Crazy to think that we never really got to see true prime Dwight, he got injured literally in his age 26 season which is typically the start of a players prime if he was putting up 20 and 14 before even hitting his prime imagine what he could've done had he gotten to truly play through his prime and developed a good mid range shot he would've been even scarier than he already was
Not a big 3. Nash almost 40
Gasol was also on that team which might have cancelled (big 4)
THey were mostly washed as fuck on that team.
The big 3 was supposed to be
Kobe
CP3
Howard
But David Stern & some salty owners was like veto that shit
Reggie Miller Jermaine O’Neal and Ron Artest. We should’ve won a chip in 04/05
yeah but the Malice at the Palace got screwed them.
Not a big 3
Malice at the Palace is still the most infamous moment in NBA history for me
full list at the end.. much appreciated.
Amazing video
#4 just needed more time !
I’m here after LaMarcus signed with the Nets
Barley, Hakeem and Scottie
Your the best Andy hoops
Basically Melo just cannot work with any team because his playstyle just revolves about him getting passed the ball and finding a way to score it and nothing else
That's pretty accurate. He still plays like it's 2009 today.
He plays great today especially after the league tried to black ball him
@@doccholo905 Melo has adopted very well he’s a better 3 point shooter and spots up more right now and is having a great season with the blazers so watch games before you talk
I'm a simple man. I see Andy Hoops upload, I watch ASAP. *2 words: Andy Hoops, Must Watch Basketball*
that's not 2 words
@@mac_n_cheesie charles barkley says otherwise ;)
Thank you for the Roy Hibbert/Melo block!
Great video.
“lEbRoN JAmes sTarTeD sUpER tEaMs” no superteams were a thing before Bron joined the league now if u want to say he made them popular then i understand
@Tiger poor management ran him out of Cleveland not Boston
No he definitely started modern super teams. There’s no KD in GS without lebron’s “decision” and there’s no KD in Brooklyn with irving, harden and Griffin without Lebron going back to Cleveland and teaming up with Kyrie, Love, and eventually Kyle Korver, Dwade, Derrick rose and IT.
The only difference is lebron lost multiple times with his superteams
@@MrAVGNdude you saying Korver it dwade and d rose on the Cavs were any good?
@Tiger facts. I don't care that he left the cavs but did bother me the way he did it. A fucking televised interview to break the news.Im sure if he signed to the heat like every other free agents does(no interviews,just reports and speculations) he wouldn't be as hated as he was
@@brandonw6139 Without using hindsight, yes that team was “stacked”. The media called those guys lebron’s best supporting cast ever before that season started. People didn’t call them trash until months into the season
I never thought of Melo being washed up but his selfishness destroyed him and his team ever since he was with the Nuggets.
Melo was blackballed
Mashburn, Jackson & Kidd
Johnson, Mourning & Bogues
Allen, Baker & Robinson
Bryant, Nash & Howard
Paul, Griffin & Jordan
There were a few the league were big on but couldn’t make a lot of noise in the regular season or playoffs. But fans still remember them, I loved the Grandmama Era Hornets of the 90’s.
I’m a Georgia Tech fan. I was just a kid when the Wolves drafted Marbury but I was ecstatic. I adopted the Wolves as my NBA team and KG became my favorite NBA player.
Even after Marbury left I remained a Wolves fan thanks to KG. I remember year upon year the Wolves would make the playoffs but lose in the first round. In hindsight it’s pretty remarkable that KG made the playoffs so many times in that insanely loaded Western Conference with Wally Szczerbiak as his best teammate for the majority of the time there (shoutout to Terrell Brandon. He was a very solid PG, reminds me of a poor man’s Chauncey Billups who was ironically drafted by Minnesota but incorrectly used, poorly developed and off the team before he really became the Billups we saw for the Pistons and Nuggets).
That 2003-2004 season was magical for Wolves fans. KG won MVP, the Wolves earned the 1 seed with 58 wins (having a better record than the Lakers who had signed Malone and Payton in the offseason).
Unfortunately after the Clippers the Wolves are the clear cut most unfortunate/poorly run franchise in the NBA.
Sam Cassell, in the midst of a monster season being a perfect compliment to KG, got hurt in the playoffs. He tried to battle but he just had nothing left and his backup, Troy Hudson, just didn’t have enough.
A crippled Wolves team lost that series in 6 with all but 1 of their losses being by single digits (lost game 3 by 11).
Had Cassell not hurt his back and the Wolves had somehow gotten past the Lakers I firmly believe that they would’ve beaten the Pistons. Minnesota was a completely different match up for Detroit and Ben Wallace wouldn’t have had the success defending KG like he did against Shaq.
Had the Wolves hasn’t lost Cassell to injury and somehow pulled off the mini upset vs the Lakers and held on as a favorite vs the Pistons KG would’ve had one of the greatest seasons of all time winning league MVP, likely winning finals MVP and finishing first team all NBA defense.
That would’ve changed the trajectory of history as it’s likely things go way different for the Wolves is they win it in 2004.
My Wizards trio was my childhood 💯 I seriously feel like If Arenas and Butler did not get hurt in 07 before the playoffs, they would've really took it to the Cavs.
Why do I have a feeling that the KD-Harden-Kyrie Nets will be on here someday?
🤡
Maybe, they have never properly paid together it I wouldn’t bet on it
@@IAMMRONALD ?
Not gonna happen lol
@@pervysage9310 It did
Big 3s from back in the day and now are different. And big 3 in the 80s and 90s was two allstars level or elite players. And a 3rd above avg player. A superteam is 3 number 1s all in their prime on the same team.
Nah that Ad and Boogie duo was fire idc what them stats say
