ESPN Insider has an article on this, which I cant see. If anyone can and would be kind enough to post it that would be awesome.

But I think Jordan / Pippen / Grant is #1

Grant is too much of a weak link for that group to be #1

Just got done reading the actual article. When I was posting the list I was pretty shocked by it but after reading it I figure I would share this so it makes a little more sense to people.

"Using a combination of Basketball-Reference's Win Shares and John Hollinger's Estimated Wins Added, prorated to 82 scheduled games in years like 2012, we can attempt to measure the greatest single-season Big 3s since 1965 (the first year we have statistics split out by each team a player played for). "

So, as you see its not exactly who had the greatest "big 3" combos there ever was, its what "big 3" had the best individual season. Hope that clears up the list a little.
 
Thanks lionsFTW,

I actually thought Jordan/Pippen +1 would of been on there more than twice
