3. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton

The core three of the defending NBA champions check in at No. 3 on this list, and it’s not a knock on them either. The two sets of big 3 ahead of them are simply that impressive. And, quite frankly, that says more about Milwaukee’s No. 2 and 3 than it does about their No. 1.

Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo are likely 1A and 1B as the best player in the league right now. Giannis has put together back-to-back MVP-worthy seasons and he likely hasn’t even hit his ceiling yet.

Jrue Holiday is one of the most underrated two-way guards in the league and played a huge factor in the team’s run to a championship. Khris Middleton is the sharpshooting No. 2 that Giannis needed to get over the top.

There’s nothing exceptionally sexy about this big 3, but they get the job done.
