How Does Warriors Big Three Stack Up With Other Big Threes?

Off Gery's Blog,

Now that Kevin Durant has decided to join the Golden State Warriors, does he, Curry and Thompson form the greatest “Big Three’’ in recent NBA history?

Or, does that distinction still belong to the trio of James, Wade and Bosh when they were tearing it up in South Beach?

And how does the newly-minted triumvirate of Curry, Thompson and Durant compare to some of the all-time greatest trios?

Like West, Baylor and Wilt?

Or Kareem, Magic and Worthy?

Or …

Suffice to say, the Warriors figure to be imposing crew next season and, oh, so much fun to watch.
