Honorable mention would be the Lob City Clippers.

The 2013 Celtics with Keith Bogans, Marshon Brooks, and Kris Humphries

T-Mac, Yao Ming, and Ron Artest. That team woulda done something if injuries didn't ruin them

Ryan Kelly, Robert Sacre and Carlos Boozer was the most disappointing trio ever but they lead with 256 claps and a career high 157 cheers a game (best in the league)

“No Big 4s Big 5s, just Big 3s.” Rajon Rondo is somewhere crying.

I would put Kobe, Steve and Dwight as most disappointing trio ever.

Nash, Finley, Dirk. Im a bit hesitant on this because they played against the Spurs and Kings. However, they let Nash walk in 04 where he won the MVP that same season.

Latrell "I have a family to feed" Sprewell. Classic.

Richard Jefferson, Vince carter, Jason Kidd... absolute favorite nets team but just got bounced every year even with all that fire power

if Demarcus Cousins didn't get that achilles in 2017-18 , who knows what could've happened and this was Cousins's best chance to reach his first playoff appearance

Run TMC Warriors were a great team, featuring 2 HOF and 1 that should be HOF, but never made the conference finals, due to a lack of defense.

Another disappointing big 3: Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, Jimmy Butler

Most disappointing will always be the late 60s early 70s Lakers. Had Wilt Elgin and Jerry and bill was still whooping they ass 🤦

It's crazy how Melo is on 2 out of these 7 teams lmao

Mid 2000’s Suns teams with Steve Nash, Shawn Marion, and Amare Stoudemire should be an honorable mention here

Steve Nash, Amare, and The Matrix. I just knew they were gonna win one together, that Fun in the Sun offense was unstoppable

I really feel bad for Charles Barkley that he didn't get a ring smh. He had the skills but never the right situations

A hopeful Knicks fanbase is much of the reason a 2012 apocalypse seemed plausible. Much love from Best Korea.

The Pelicans trio is highly underrated. AD and Cosuins formed a great inside out offense with ad being the inside force while cousins stretched the floor. Not to mention how dangerous they were defensively

Also could have mentioned that other late 90s rockets big 3 of Hakeem Barkley and Pippen

Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan?

Melo could’ve made this list 3 times if you included Melo, Iverson and JR Smith in ‘06-07.

Knicks trading for Melo: Me: Did you did it? Knicks: Yes... Me: What did it cost? Knicks: Everything... Will never forget how good Amare and the 2011 Knicks were pre-trade.

Harden was just a 6th man at that time and wasn't really thought as a star back then so it's kinda unfair to say that the OKC is in the category of a disappointing big 3.

Nets big 3! But not the current I'm talking KG Paul Pierce & Iso Joe! front office reality thought they pulled a doozie 🤣

I love Andy hoops videos. Very informative and original and not yelling or narrating as if he took a whiff of cocaine like some youtubers.

The wizard’s big 3 were unstoppable in NBA LIVE 08

>Superteam >Arenas, Jamison, and Butler All right we’re using it loosely here

Nothing like going on lunch breaks seeing an Andy hoops video

Roy,Aldridge,Oden.A huge what if

Love all that super high quality HD footage of 90’s basketball.

the big 3 of elgin baylor, wilt, and jerry west they didn't win a title until baylor retired

ahh the Knicks big 3 in the early 2010s .. man what could've been , and yeah that was really short lived sadly , i really thought those years were gonna workout in new york but Melo and Amare could not work together

Mcgrady, Artest and Yao got swept under the rug imo.

You should make a standalone video about Jabari Parker since he just got waived and the Kings was probably the last stop of his career

I'd have left the 2004 Wolves off this list for 2 reasons. 1. Shaq and Kobe's superteam was sitting on them and got all of the calls in the WCF and, 2. Stern was notorious for pulling all the stops by using refball to squash small market teams in the playoffs. (Just ask the Wolves, Blazers and Pacers during that era.) The Spurs were his token that he frequently used to silence critics.

KG, Sprewell, and Cassell would have been so great like 2-3yr prior. Cassell's time in MIL produced the best stats. Would have been nice to see him with KG more, especially before injuries.

I cant image the pain of players winning over 40 games but still missing playoffs

U cant talk about gillbert arenas without that gun incident

I've just opened KZfaq just to watch a new video by Andy Hoops. Greetings from Lebanon.

No trumpets? Still an amazing video regardless. Perhaps saving it for 7 most successful Big 3s?

I don’t think anyone else would have called the PG, Westbrook and Melo team a Big 3. Like you said, that was washed up Melo, not the All-Star one.

Correction: The Pelicsns did offer Cousins a 2 year 40 million after his injury but he thought he was worth more and signed the minimum with the warriors.

My favorite NBA youtuber. Much love from the Philippines.

The Coleman/Petrovic/Anderson trio needed to be on this list. Petrovic's death derailed it, but Coleman and Anderson never did anything after this era. Second honorable mention, Run TMC - Mitch Richmond, Tim Hardaway, and Chris Mullen.

Another terrific video Love you from the Philippines my dude

That Houston Rockets 🚀 Squad Was Not No Big 3 That Was a AARP Meeting 😝

You could argue that Miami big 3 was disappointing considering that they were expected to win like 8 championships but barely won 2

Nets with Kidd, Carter and Richard Jefferson I actually thought they would be good when that trade happened

You could honestly argue none of these trios were disappointments. Minnesota's big 3 prior to 03-04 was expected to make the second round at best and got to the WCF. Houston's was one of many western contenders in the 96-97 season and made the WCF. Washington had pretty shallow depth outside of their big 3 so making the second round wasn't really a disappointment. The thunder made the finals. The knicks were disappointing but were also riddled with injuries while that big 3 was together. The NOLA big 3 didn't even play a full season together. Pretty much none of these teams were disappointing unless you consider anything short of being NBA champions disappointing.

the 2011 Miami Heat Superteam (Lebron, Wade, Bosh) was very disappointing they lost to an underdog Mavs team.. this was the birth of LeChoke which became the most hated player in the NBA! 😭😢

Wanna know what’s the most successful Big 3? Andy, the trumpets, and sponsorships

Idk if the thunder really counted as a big 3, harden wasn’t even scratching the surface yet

Some of these aren’t what people would call these days as “Big 3”, especially since some of them were past their prime. And some weren’t really bona fide stars. Come on, Andy!

Man just lookin at all them throwbacks give me the chills maaaaaaan thats the NBA I miss

I think that 1997 rockets wasn't disappointing because all were 35 years old

I hate to say this, but this list is missing Nash, Amare and Marion. Best record in the league, 2 time MVP, most revolutionary and exciting offense of the time, never got a ring. 😢

This list will make you appreciate and lately be amazed by the superteams that were formed from 70's up until now. It just show us that it wasn't about the star power, its the team chemistry, coaching staff, development of talents, and longevity of the players.

Right ! More about NBA history. Keep going

Hmm I feel Brooklyn nets big 3 will be on here (haven’t seen thumbnail don’t attack me lol) update they weren’t instead my okc got 2 teams on the list. And the number 1 was my first as a okc fan absolute pain. (Fan after Durant left) Oh well we got all those picks and Shai 😂

I always make the argument about the OKC big three that let’s say harden doesn’t turn into the MVP we know him to be today, that team still improve just due to natural maturation and still goes back to the finals the following seasons bar no injuries and they at least pull 1 chip out the mix.

I respect your opinion on the thunder and I agree with you. As a thunder fan, I miss this time. Even if they never fun they were ALWAYS fun to watch.

Andy love ya videos man, keep it up😎💯💪🏼.....and my boi Melo ain't washed, he still Ballin, with the Blazers now!!

Wilt, Elgin, and West. Both Elgin and West combined finals record was 0-17. And when they added Wilt to finally push them over the top, it was another heartbreaker

I'm genuinely shocked that Dwight Howard, Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant isn't on this list. When the Dwight trade happened the media went bonkers on it but the team was an absolute disaster almost from the beginning. Kobe broke his body willing that team to the playoffs only to get swept 4-0 by the Spurs with Kobe out with what ended up being a career ending achilles injury.

Always good videos bro 💯💜💛 Go Lakers

CP3, Blake Griffin, and Jamal Crawford of the Clippers should be on this list. So is Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, and Al Horford of the Hawks Deron Williams, Carlos Boozer, and Andrei Kirilenko of the Jazz.

Anyone remember how the 2013 Knicks went 3-1 against Miami in the regular season and everyone was going crazy 😂

The 2014-2015 Lakers with Kobe Bryant, Jeremy Lin, and Carlos Boozer Lol

I was so hyped for that OKC team with PG, Westbrook and Melo. I really was hoping for them that it worked out somehow

7:00 Counting Tyson Chandler as a Big 3 is a stretch. I would replace that with the Webber, Stojakivic and Bibby Big 3, although their disappointment in 2002 came on the hands of the refs (and maybe **cough cough** the NBA front office???). Even one of the refs came out years later to admit that the series with the Lakers was rigged.

0:25 I thought he said 3 star players as in ⭐⭐⭐

A Huge shoutout to Otis Thorpe that sponsored this video.

Steve Francis, great hill, and Dwight Howard 1st year on the magic. Extremely disappointed big 3

Do this season's Nets next

No one considered the Knicks to have a big 3 post 2012. STAT was shot by then.

another banger video from Andy Hoops , when you hear those trumpets, it's gonna be a good one

#7 turned out better than expected. =) Sprewell and Cassell were past their primes already yet gave the Timberwolves the franchise's best season ever and helped KG get MVP. Never considered them a disappointing "big 3". More like veterans that overachieved and had the perfect chemistry for one season.

The Nets Joe Johnson, Deron Williams, and Gerald Wallace. The Nets Deron Williams, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett, the Lakers Lebron James, Russel Westbrook, and Anthony Davis. Just a few here but there has been many big three failures. All great players but just not together.

The 2013 lakers were a disappointment Kobe Nash Howard All on one team but they barely made the playoffs

Reggie Miller Jermaine O’Neal and Ron Artest. We should’ve won a chip in 04/05

full list at the end.. much appreciated.

Amazing video

#4 just needed more time !

I’m here after LaMarcus signed with the Nets

Barley, Hakeem and Scottie

Your the best Andy hoops

Basically Melo just cannot work with any team because his playstyle just revolves about him getting passed the ball and finding a way to score it and nothing else

I'm a simple man. I see Andy Hoops upload, I watch ASAP. *2 words: Andy Hoops, Must Watch Basketball*

Thank you for the Roy Hibbert/Melo block!

Great video.

“lEbRoN JAmes sTarTeD sUpER tEaMs” no superteams were a thing before Bron joined the league now if u want to say he made them popular then i understand

I never thought of Melo being washed up but his selfishness destroyed him and his team ever since he was with the Nuggets.

Mashburn, Jackson & Kidd Johnson, Mourning & Bogues Allen, Baker & Robinson Bryant, Nash & Howard Paul, Griffin & Jordan There were a few the league were big on but couldn’t make a lot of noise in the regular season or playoffs. But fans still remember them, I loved the Grandmama Era Hornets of the 90’s.

I’m a Georgia Tech fan. I was just a kid when the Wolves drafted Marbury but I was ecstatic. I adopted the Wolves as my NBA team and KG became my favorite NBA player. Even after Marbury left I remained a Wolves fan thanks to KG. I remember year upon year the Wolves would make the playoffs but lose in the first round. In hindsight it’s pretty remarkable that KG made the playoffs so many times in that insanely loaded Western Conference with Wally Szczerbiak as his best teammate for the majority of the time there (shoutout to Terrell Brandon. He was a very solid PG, reminds me of a poor man’s Chauncey Billups who was ironically drafted by Minnesota but incorrectly used, poorly developed and off the team before he really became the Billups we saw for the Pistons and Nuggets). That 2003-2004 season was magical for Wolves fans. KG won MVP, the Wolves earned the 1 seed with 58 wins (having a better record than the Lakers who had signed Malone and Payton in the offseason). Unfortunately after the Clippers the Wolves are the clear cut most unfortunate/poorly run franchise in the NBA. Sam Cassell, in the midst of a monster season being a perfect compliment to KG, got hurt in the playoffs. He tried to battle but he just had nothing left and his backup, Troy Hudson, just didn’t have enough. A crippled Wolves team lost that series in 6 with all but 1 of their losses being by single digits (lost game 3 by 11). Had Cassell not hurt his back and the Wolves had somehow gotten past the Lakers I firmly believe that they would’ve beaten the Pistons. Minnesota was a completely different match up for Detroit and Ben Wallace wouldn’t have had the success defending KG like he did against Shaq. Had the Wolves hasn’t lost Cassell to injury and somehow pulled off the mini upset vs the Lakers and held on as a favorite vs the Pistons KG would’ve had one of the greatest seasons of all time winning league MVP, likely winning finals MVP and finishing first team all NBA defense. That would’ve changed the trajectory of history as it’s likely things go way different for the Wolves is they win it in 2004.

My Wizards trio was my childhood 💯 I seriously feel like If Arenas and Butler did not get hurt in 07 before the playoffs, they would've really took it to the Cavs.

Why do I have a feeling that the KD-Harden-Kyrie Nets will be on here someday?

Big 3s from back in the day and now are different. And big 3 in the 80s and 90s was two allstars level or elite players. And a 3rd above avg player. A superteam is 3 number 1s all in their prime on the same team.

Nah that Ad and Boogie duo was fire idc what them stats say
