2011 NBA Season: Lebron's Big 3 and the Top 5 Scoring Trios in the League

The NBA is a star-driven league.

In order to win a championship you need a couple of guys that can really score the basketball. This list is the top 5 scoring trios in the league. You definitely will see a surprise or two.

So sit back and enjoy reading about the best scorers in the league. Stats are from yahoo.com, and if a player was traded midseason, I am using their totals for the whole season.

Blake Griffin: 22.3PPG

Mo Williams: 14 PPG

This is the main surprise in this slideshow. But as you can see, this trio can really light it up in the points department, and they score far more than half of the 98.5 point the Clips average.

4. Chicago Bulls' Rose, Boozer and Deng

Rose: 24.9 PPG

Boozer: 18 PPG

Deng: 17.8 PPG

This is no surprise here, as the Bulls are one of the best teams in the NBA. This scoring trio is extremely dynamic and accounts for 62 percent of the Bulls' points.

Durant: 27.9 PPG

Westbrook: 22.1 PPG

Harden: 11.9 PPG

Combined: 61.9 PPG

As you can see, this trio is clearly led by one of the best duos of scoring in the league. If Green was not traded, they would be higher up on this list, but with Harden as the 3rd leading scorer, they fall here.

This trio scores 59 percent of their teams points, less than the Bulls trio does.

2. New York Knicks' Amare, Melo, and Chauncey
