Past Celtics Big-3's - 60's, 70's, 80's, 2000's - The winner is?

As my readers already know, I am a "what-if" guy. Well, what if the Big-3 Celtics from four different decades went head-to-head in their prime. Three-on-three basketball has been around via FIBA since 2012 - Actor Ice Cube formed the BIG3 League, now in its second season - and 3-on-3 is coming to the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. So let's see how the Celtics Big3 stars-of-the past match up.

1960's - Bob Cousy, Bill Russell, Tommy Heinsohn
Cousy passing - Heinsohn's offense and Russell's rebounding and defense made for a strong trio.
