    ?

    Big 3 is mostly older retired players, Joe Johnson doing well makes sense, Man just retired a couple years ago, is one of best players in recent history at creating offense.

    Joe Johnson and josh smith were a force to be reckoned with. Anyone know how far they were able to get together?

    5 MVPs in 3 seasons. Llull won Euroleague MVP in 2017. And Courtney Fortson won International Player MVP in CBA 2018.

    6 MVPs in 4 seasons. Beasely won MVP in CBA in 2016.

    :D

    I'm continually amazed at your knowledge of the Rockets organization. Pulling Courtney Fortson out of the blue of basketball information takes a lot of love of the game. Props to you for this call, but others as well.

    All the players show the competition level with in the league. Some were unplayable here yet highly successful elsewhere. What would Harden or Westbrook look like in other leagues?

    Random though maybe Llull knows his skillset and what he would look like in the NBA. He has found success where he is, so...

    The NBA game is so much different from a half court 3 on 3 game at the local park which is what the Big 3 is ….

    Joe Johnson is still a highly skilled player , but his athleticism has declined to the point where his skills aren't enough to make him a productive NBA player.


    Ever run into that old dude at the park that was a hell of a player in a half court , 3 on 3 , 21 or horse ? ….. then when the full court game broke out he was on the sidelines ? That's Joe Johnson (and a lot of these other former NBA guys).
