the Three Kings in Miami

The Three Kings are LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. These Heat version of Big 3 is bigger than Celtic Big 3 or Spurs Big 3 or any other Big 3 you can think of. It's like putting Akon, Eminem and Katy Parry in a pop band. Each of the three names could single handedly bring ANY team into NBA playoff. Putting three of them together will guarantee you a playoff basketball. Championship? Hardly, unless Pat Riley put some size in their ball game. Let's compare them to other Big 3's in this decade.

San Antonio, Spurs
It all started with a man called Tim Duncan - the best forward/center in this decade. Then you put a French and an Argentinian into the mix and we have Spurs Big 3 + Gregg Popovich as head coach + lots of players who do all the dirty works for them.

Tim Duncan is undisputable the best old school forward/center in this decade. His moves are always solid and reliable (except for his free throw, no one is flawless right?) in both ends. Backdown leads into a hook, a layup or a dunk = 20 points with 60% field goal + 10 rebounds.

At the same time, Tony Parker has the quickness to drive through ANY defender. "I'm going left, I'm going right, no I'm going left again, umm no right... left.... sorry see ya!!" <-- These are his crazy crossover moves. Allen Iverson probably doesn't handle the ball as good as this Frenchman right here. Manu Ginobili, the left handed dude, can do crossover, step back 3 pointer OR crossover, layup with his left hand there.

And we have players who do the dirty work (aka Dirty Crews). Bruce Bowen - a lock down 1 on 1 defender that can guard 1 to 4. Robert Horry - the Big Shot Rob that always makes the most critical 3 pointers. Michael Finley - used to be one of the Mavericks Big 3 (Finley, Nowitzki, Nash).

And this = 3 Championship!

Boston, Celtic
Spurs Big 3 is more like 1+2 = 3 but Boston Celtic Big 3 is the true 1+1+1 =3.

Kevin Garnett is a 7 footer shooting guard that plays FUCKING intense defense. He knocks down 20 foot jumpers, fade away and sometimes 3 pointers. He is EVERYWHERE in the defensive end and brings the emotion to the team in defensive end. He has a "Defense Aura" around him that gives his teammates +20% defense.

Paul Pierce. Ugly moves but effective. I have no comment about him because I do not like him. He has a sexy voice though. Probably he can be a R&B singer after he retire as a player. Ray Allen is the motherfucker. He has the best shooting form that you can imagine. Lightning fast quick release jumper and 3 pointers. He is the best pure shooter that you can ever have.

And the dirty crews are:
Glen "Baby" Davis and Kendrick Perkins - two fat men who plays intense defense and solid rebounding. Thanks to Garnett's "Defense Aura".

Ranja Rondo, perhaps the best point guard right now. Sorry Steve Nash, sorry Chris Paul, sorry Derron William. Not you, yes you were but Ranja Rondo IS the best!

Doc Rivers, the head coach, who has a sick annoying voice. The players were like "Okay, let's do this! We gotta do better to avoid a timeout to listen to this annoying fuck voice."

And this = 1 Championship + 2 rounds of NBA Final in 3 years

Miami, Heat
Okay this not even Big 3. It's like 1.5 + 1.5 + 1 = 3 and it's not even right. LBJ is 0.5 > than any small forward and Wade is 0.5 > any shooting guard but Kobe. (Kobe is like 1.99 > 1.5)

But I don't see the big picture of a championship team. Heat Big 3 can beat ANY Big 3 in a 3 on 3 basketball but hell this is NBA, it's 5 on 5!

Where is the dirty crews? None.....

Who's the head coach? Erik Spoelstra.... I am not trying to be mean but this dude (the one in the middle) - is he a fucking coach or this is a Miami joke?

Pat Riley gotta do something to this team such as bringing in the dirty crews and more importantly coming down to the bench and be the head coach instead of having Erik Spoelstra as their head coach.

Or else, the talent of the Three Kings will be wasted.

Conclusion
Bringing top players into a team doesn't guarantee championship but it does guarantee sales of jerseys and tickets. Sometimes, four 0.8 players can be very effective too (Detroit Piston). Sometimes, two 1.5 players are enough to kick yer ass (Lakers with Shaq and Kobe and Heat with Shaq and Wade). Sometimes, one 1.99 player (you know I mean who) is better than Big 3.

Nonetheless, this season will be very entertaining and the road to be a champ again is harder and harder....
