Gretzky: Orr, Lemieux, and I 'would have been pretty good at 3-on-3'

They'd be unbeatable.
Three of the greatest players to lace up skates spoke as part of the All-Star Game festivities in Los Angeles on Friday.
Alongside Bobby Orr and Mario Lemieux, Wayne Gretzky summarized the three greats with the perfect one liner.
"The three of us would have been pretty good at 3-on-3," Gretzky joked.
| Player | Games | Goals | Assists | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gretzky | 1487 | 894 | 1963 | 2857 |
| Lemieux | 915 | 690 | 1033 | 1723 |
| Orr | 657 | 270 | 645 | 915 |
The trio are arguably the best to take the ice in the 100-year history of the NHL, with a host of combined accolades: Eight Stanley Cups, 18 Art Ross Trophies, 15 Hart Trophy wins, 10 Lester B. Pearson awards, and six Conn Smythes.
