NBA: Top five "Big 3"s

2. Tony Parker, Kawhi Leonard, Tim Duncan; San Antonio Spurs

For the past decade, San Antonio’s big 3 has been Parker, Duncan and Ginobili. There has been a change of guard. Erm, Forward.

Kawhi Leonard has established himself as the no. 3 player on the Spurs’ roster. His offense is improving, markedly shown in his 3 point shooting and ability to attack the rim. But what sets him apart is his defence.

Leonard is an excellent defensive stopper. He’s fearless as was evidenced by the way he matched up against LeBron James in the NBA finals. Being only 22, Leonard appears to be the face of the Spurs once Duncan and Ginobili retire.

Parker is currently one of the best point guards in the league. He’s still in his prime, despite being 31. His court vision and ability to stitch together the Spurs’ offence make him such a potent guard. If Parker quits or moves to another team, the entire Spurs’ offence will come crumbling down.

There’s nothing much to say about Duncan. He’s the best Power Forward in the league, period.
