Big 3s in the NBA really became a thing when LeBron James and Chris bosh joined Dwayne Wade in Miami. Let’s look at the current best Big 3s in the league.
1. Denver Nuggets
Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Michael Porter Jr. make up the Nuggets Big 3. There could even be an argument for Aaron Gordon being the third member of the Big 3 in Denver. Jokic won back to back MVPs until narrowly losing the award this year and Jamal Murray looked like a top five point guard in the league during the playoffs. Porter Jr. averaged over 17 points per game while shooting over 41% from three and stepped up in their finals run to average 8.1 rebounds.
2. Phoenix Suns
A Big 3 in Phoenix was top 3 last year but replacing Chris Paul with Bradley Beal locks Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and him in the top two. An argument could be made they are number one because Beal is a step up from Porter Jr. most definitely. These three could all easily average over 20 points per game next year.
3. Boston Celtics
Boston was one game away from making the NBA finals with one of the best duos in the league between Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Add in Kristaps Porzingis who averaged over 23 points last year and this team should have one of the best Big 3s that could contend again for a championship in 2024.
