Extreme Conan O’Brien skit voice: In the year 2000. In the year 2000!
In the year 2000, the world officially entered the future. Unfortunately for the Phoenix Suns, their success that year now feels like ancient history compared to recent times. The team went 53-29 before falling to the eventual NBA Champion Los Angeles Lakers in the second round.
This team was led by Jason Kidd, who averaged a double-double with 14.3 points and 10.1 assists per game.
Picking a 3-on-3 squad from this team is relatively straight forward because two other players stood out as stars after Kidd: Anfernee Hardaway and Clifford Robinson. Those three guys made up the team’s big 3.
Putting them on the 3-on-3 court together might result in the most steals ever recorded. Each of these players averaged over a steal per game, with Kidd averaging two.
With play-making ability and size, this would be a fierce 3-on-3 team.
