Talent alone without taking into account form at the time and condition?
This season the Nets have Aldridge, Griffin and Millsap at the PF position. That's 3 former All Stars.

Kings currently with Fox, Haliburton and Davion Mitchell is interesting. I think Haliburton plays best at point guard, so I don't see this combo lasting all that long.

Denny Crumb’s Doctors of Dunk. The whole roster was 6’7” tweezers, and they won two NCAA titles.

- MJ and George Gervin on the ‘86 Bulls (though Gervin was largely there to fill in for an injured Jordan)

- Wade and Allen in Miami

- Moses Malone played behind David Robinson one season, though he was little more than a body at that point

- I recall reading that Nash, Kidd, and Kevin Johnson played somewhere together (can someone confirm?)

Stockton
Mark Jackson
Carlos Arroyo

Stockton and Mark Jackson were 40 and 37 years old. Arroyo was 23.

Has anyone mentioned KJ, Kidd and Nash yet?

Kawhi, Pascal and young OG were fun to watch defensively in 2019 for the few games everyone was healthy and present with the team, esp in the fourth when Kawhi decided to turn it on. Those fks were swarming everyone with Kyle barking orders.

No, he was acquired before the season

Cincinnati Royals 1969-70 - Oscar Robertson, Norm Van Lier, Bob Cousy - the 3 guys who had the most assists for the decade in the 60s, 70s, and 50s respectively

Thanks for the clarification on Gervin. I'd long-remembered (misremembered) that they acquired him after Jordan's injury.

Pippen, Kukoc, and Rodman all played SF at one time in their respective careers.

A lot of talent there.
