2. Los Angeles Lakers Big Three: LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook
Bleacher Report ranked this newly formed trio at number three on their list, behind Milwaukee. Their biggest reason is the fact that Russell Westbrook hasn’t played with the other two yet. BR had this to say about his fit with the Lakers.
"“The questions surface in the half court, where spacing could come at a premium. It also isn’t certain what Westbrook’s arrival (and many of the other additions) will do to the team’s league-best defense.”"
Regardless of whether or not the fit is right, this team still has three legitimate superstars in the NBA, all of whom could win the MVP award. The same can’t be said for the Bucks.
The Lakers join the Miami Heat as the only teams on this list with a new Big Three. Because of their star power, the Lakers take the edge over several teams despite playing a total of zero games together so far.
They are led by LeBron James, who is arguably the greatest basketball player of all time. Even if his age leads to a decline, he takes care of himself so well that it probably won’t limit his abilities too much.
Plus, his ever-growing high IQ for the game makes it easy for him to play together with teammates, particularly with his co-stars. The Lakers will probably figure it out.
1. Brooklyn Nets Big Three: Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving
This one shouldn’t be too shocking to anyone. These three superstars form one of the most spectacular offenses in NBA history.
Each of them has tremendous skill, can create their own shot, and score with ease. Kevin Durant, the best of the three, is arguably the best player on the planet right now. It is very tough to outscore these three.
