    Now do you mean in their prime or how good they were when they played together? Because 2 of those choices have rings, mostly because Dream was in his prime at that time. Also we don't yet know how good this current trio will get or if Eddie will ever take Cuttino's spot.

    Nobody should vote for a trio with Barkley, he ran Drexler off and reduced Hakeem to playing like a wimp.

    I voted for Yao, Steve, & Cat... I believe they have the most chance to play together a long time unlike the other trios who had youth and age mixed.

    Now if you were talking all-time...

    Tough choice but I would choose

    Hakeem(in his prime) and any 2 players...most likely Hakeem, Horry, & Drexler

    Plus that trio didn't even get a ring. Please vote for a trio that either has a championship ring or will have one.

    I would not vote for any trio containing Barkley or Pippen. Barkley never accomplished anything and Pippen, well he was just a disaster.

    I am surprised at the low results for Hakeem/Thorpe/Mad Max...they won our first ever championship together !

    Anyway, I voted Hakeem/Horry/Drexler

    Hakeem/Barkley/Pippen.

    If not for injuries, and Pippen's attitude problems, this trip could have been the most dominant ever. They could have reeled off 3 titles in a row.

    i agree with dan jojo

    but i really have a tie with all this

    hakeem/horry/clyde-cuz they won the title(2)
    hakeem/charles/clyde would have had a better chance of winning together than that of scottie pippen.

    if any one here noticed back in the days of barkley and hakeem and clyde. they all did not but seldom play at the same time together.
    we had the injurie plague

    Bullard/Dream/Maxwell

    Would have been mine. I venture to guess that it would have pretty much swept the poll.

    I guess I'm a little older than most of you young kids, but for many years the big three for the Rockets were Rudy, Calvin, and Mike Newlin. They may not have won any championships, but they will always be the big three to me.
