Hi Guys!

I'm new to the forum and I have been reading since 07-08 season.
Now that we have 4 All Stars in the starting lineup, what do we call them?  Any suggestions?

  We still have 3 all-stars.

"3+1", or "Four Point Play".

KG is the MVP of the defense, and we're a defensive team. Plus his efficient scoring this year is unbeleivable. Just look at how the team played without him he's still clearly BIG.

"3+1", or "Four Point Play".

I like this.

  The thing is that the "Big Three" nickname originated with Larry, Robert and Kevin because they were *big*. All of them were all-stars and all of them were 6'9 or 6'10 and over. The Big Three has been something of a misnomer all along for the current group.

Though they both have been in a bit of a slump of late, Perk is just as important as Ray--and would be much harder to replace.
