The Big Three. Each NBA team has had or aspired to possess the right to give this name on three of its best players. There have been many great Big Threes over the years, but I'll just take a moment to rate the best of the best. Today we have the incredible (yet somehow still underrated), well-oiled machine of Parker, Ginobili and Duncan, and of course Boston deservingly lauded Three Allen, Pierce and KG. If you're my age, you grew up watching the crazy-good, very entertaining Chicago Bulls trio Pippen, Rodman and Jordan (or Kerr-based viewer). But he was back in the good old days when the Big Three at home and it is the mark on the future of basketball. Boston's Original Big Three has been very powerful and dominant won three major trophies in five brilliant trips to the finals in the 1980s. These men were Kevin McHale, Robert Parrish and Larry Bird. Now, going way back to the 1070s-late 1960s and early to Los Angeles three men to glory. Hall of Fame Jerry West, Elgin Baylor and (always a warrior first) Mr. Wilt Chamberlain. Finally, perhaps the best trio ever to grace the wooden NBA supremacy was spectacular Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy and Magic Johnson. These men won four trophies in the Championship of LA 1980, and they were pure class all the way. Lakers fans were surly be proud when we talk about what the Big Three. I just hope all the true fans, you Lakers fans that GS had to do last season and school every bandwagon hoppers that collect news in the coming months on the glory days of yesteryear. It is easy and pleasant to live in the moment, but it's just that much sweeter if you understand the greatness that once was.

I'm a fan Warriors until the day I die. My parents are primarily responsible for the high stress part of my heart that the Warriors have the rights. I am also responsible for local sports talk of God, Gary Radnich, but I will not go into this business. My father grew up a fan Warriors, born and raised in Collingswood, NJ, just across the bridge from Philly. My mother grew up a Warriors fan born and raised in North Philly's Kensington district. She always made sure to touch as many games as possible and at the time, the athletes actually acted like normal people would. They frequented the local hang-outs and familiar with everyone. She even met several times Wilt. Long before that, during the first season 1946-47 Philadelphia Warriors were in fact the first championship team in NBA history (he was called for BAA Basketball Association of America to the time). When my family moved to California in 1982, the warriors had a head start on us 20 years, after moving to San Francisco in 1962. Meeting (and it's good). The rest is history.

Returning to the subject at hand, my Big Three was none other than Mitch Richmond the best pure scorer who could cut to the basket like a breath of wind, Timmy Hardaway with his famous lightning-fast two-step UTEP , and Chris Mullin great all round player with a sugar sweet lefty jumper. Together, they form the flash was very fun, Run TMC.

What was not to love? With these guys on the field, the basketball fans in the bay, finally something to celebrate! In 1989, Hardaway, the Chicago born guard from the University of Texas at El Paso was drafted in the 14th on a team of warriors with a cast of characters such as Rod Higgins (who until last year served as GM Warriors), Tom Tolbert (who for the past 12 years has co-hosted radio sports show The Razor & Mr. T, Bay Area fans love), Sarunas Marciulionis (which was his local.
