- LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh only spent four years together, but those four years changed the league and the sports world forever. The game looks different, the spectacle of free agency is magnified and teams are under relentless pressure to keep stars happy. This is the story behind the Big 3 era Miami Heat.

#LebronJames #DwyaneWade #ChrisBosh - Sport
As someone who resides in Miami and witnessed Wade playing his heart out those years BEFORE the BIG 3. This whole BIG 3 chapter was LIT. Only downsides were the bandwagon "FANS" and the 2011 Finals. Especially the bandwagon fans... like OMG. Some of the "fans" didn't even know who Wade was.
Lol I fell you I’m a Warriors fan who worked in a Grocery store . When they Won in 2015 so many bandwagon fans couldn’t tell me who Mark Jackson was that yr. smh . I was like he was the Coach of the team last year. But Bandwagon fans are good all that money from them gave the team Money to pay the Luxury tax to Sign KD
No one cared about Miami it was lebron
@@justthisguy1948 They didn't care about Lebron either. They wanted to just be with the wave to be cool.
@@rell660 it wasn’t cool to like Miami they were villains I think people started to like Miami after they started winning but their whole fan base was built around lebron
@@justthisguy1948 You missed the part where I was taking about people IN MIAMI.
There were 4 different responses toward the BIG 3. Miami FL, Cleveland OH, The Nation and Lebron Stans.
I'm talking about the Miami side. 50% of fans during the Miami BIG 3 era were bandwagons. I clearly saw the spike with my own eyes. Lol
Bosh is the difference maker of that team. Dude was under appreciated. He adjusted his game, sacrifices his own stats just to blend with Wade and James. He also improve his range so they can play kinda small ball line up which during that time, is not practical since all teams have their own elite bigman. Becasue of the spacing provided by Bosh, James and Wade had room to operate and maximize their potentials.
Post Lebron's return to Cleveland he was poised to be the leading star of the Heat but alas health issues. He was very underrated and an integral part of that Heat era.
Shane Battier as well. They became unstoppable when he arrived. He was also a big reason for Bosh and LeBron sliding to the 5/4 positions.
@@frankincensemerchant1284 He was evraging like 23 and 10 before he got injured and as you said heart conditions
Joakim Noah said it best : "they are a great team, they are hollywood as fuck but they are a great team"
Very true. You either love them or hate them with no in-between 😂 2008-2014 NBA was the best
How does this channel not have 5 million subs, is beyond me.
Algorithm and maybe they should change their channel name, seems generic
L
Well this is a big company they should be fine
Can we just appreciate Chris Bosh for evolving his game and becoming an amazing support player. He went from super star to support and continued to get paid less than both Wade and Lebron.
Hall of Fame BOUND MY FAVORITE PLAYER OF ALL TIME sad his career was cut short
Bosh was never a superstar , he was in the middle of all star and superstar , but he was still the main guy in Toronto
That's a lie. Wade has never been the highest paid player in any season of the heat. After lebron left, Bosh got a supermax deal and wade got no deal. Also all three of those players changed. It's really evident when you see how the heat played after lebron left. Wade was the main guy again. Wade when he was supposedly washed up and getting less money than chris bosh took the raptors to game 7 of semis without bosh and without Whiteside. With one of them healthy it would of been great to see lebron vs wade in the 2016 ecf. Also in 2016, wade led the whole nba in clutch points...not bad for someone that miami didnt want to pay and that casual fans said was trash because of his knees
@@TheKos2Kos by 2014 Wade was declining and starting to break down , not to mention he is 2-3 yrs older than Bosh at the time , u gon pay bosh before washed wade anyday , nobody seen bloodclots in the future
@@0XxBesTofTheRestxX0 he wasnt , a superstar is a top 7-10 player , usually top 5-7 , Bosh wasnt even the best at his position , he was a high level allstar but Wade , Bron, Kobe , Melo , Cp3, Dwight those were the superstars back then
The Heattles super team is unlike any other. The bond of those 3 players being drafted altogether in 03 and playing for the Redeem Team. That bond was unlike any other. I'll take that 12-13 Heat in a 7 game series against 16-17 Warriors
This is the team that made me tune into the NBA and seriously watch when I was like 12 years old. I still remember the 2013 finals as one of the most tense and greatest ever
wrong opinion
@@youngboy2pacdrake that's his opinion
@@foreverFreak but its wrong bro like wow
@@youngboy2pacdrake it's still his opinion. You got yours.
I’m a huge Cavs fan and hated LeBron and Miami those year but looking back now I view those four years as the most interesting basketball I have ever seen
Brilliant as a Heat Fan I thank you for this
Ayee, just a thumbs up to how you guys are posting more content now!
I can second that fashoo
‘12-‘13 Heat was their best year! Thank you for this, made me miss those times even more!
Is the heat good now or no
@@reaperx1236 yes they are
This channel so underrated, hope you guys blow up soon
This definitely my favorite channel on CZcams. You guys deserve at least a million subscribers for this quality.
Bosh,Wade and LBJ created a version of a superteam that stars "in their prime" form a team. Before,stars that are in the twilight of their careers forming a superteam for a chance of a ring.
Heat never started superman it always been there Boston, Chicago bulls we always had superteam
@@Sway-hf8tl wrong opinion
As a Heat fan this is amazing to see , miss this team
i always wonder what the raptors would have been with chris bosh, demar derozan and kyle lowry
And vince along with McGrady
another what if story has a chance to 100% disappointing
2nd rd exits annually
Bosh and DeRozan were teammates in Derozan's rookie year
AHH, the team that got me to watching the NBA. Although I became a Spurs fan later on after years of not really watching the NBA, this team has a special place in my heart.
Your delivery is top class. Never sell out
The production quality and content of this channel makes it hard to believe that they only have 50k subs, Damn!
Great video man. Hope this gets y’all the attention this channel deserves!
This Heat team is the reason i became a fan! Love this franchise no matter what 🔥
Underrated channel, still don't know why you have only 55k subs
The real gone recognize 😎
Crazy production quality. Definitely gonna blow up
Yall make really great vids, appreciate the effort on the content!
FUCK YEAHH Best Years of my Life as a Heat Fan...
Actually my worse years. It started off bad when lebron signed with miami during my birthday week. At that point I had very little respect for lebron as a winner and he gained only a little more respect from me during his time in miami. I really started respecting lebron and cheering for lebron for the 4 years he went against the warriors and showed true mental tenacity finally. Post-heat I finally became a fan of lebron
The Heatles era was so entertaining, 2013 finals were incredible. Rivalry with Celtics was great. Kids of today will never know 😤
You acting like this happened 30 years ago
Yeah I watched it it aint even that good celtics were washed
@@donald4203 boy you must not know the demon time rondo was on back then 😂😂💯
@@donald4203 no they weren’t. And besides they won the chip on 08’ and played the Heat the first time in 11’ and lost in 5. So shut up.
@@dezz8598 Bruh they were old during 08 and 11 was a good series but the 2013? Lol Celtics are washed during 2013
Genuinely surprised at how few subscribers y’all have! Content is outstanding!
Yo you guys have the best background music no cap
Thank you for this!!!
I was still in high school and grew up watching this era of basketball was lit 🔥
Quickly becoming my favorite basketball chanel
This channel deserves more views and subscribers
excellent work
I love this page Soo much , I'm from South Africa and I get to learn so much about my favorite teams an players
Not even 100k subs. What!? One of my favorite sports channels on CZcams
Great video!
Wade and LeBron could read eachothers minds, never seen anything like it. Also Mike Miller was such an asset in both the 2012 and 2013 Finals, I wish they would have never amnesty'd him. Ray, Shane and Mike was such a deadly lineup.
Why do you always provide great content?!
Awesome as always.
Thanks.
Hoping for more subs for your channel!
Great content!!!
Still goosebumps
One of the best moments as a Miami Heat fan. YES.WE.DID
The best days of High school and I went to school in Miami the city was crazy 2010-11 my jr year
Top level content 👌🔥
I love these videos
You guys are the GOAT
I see the Score video, i like.
I just knew deep down the Heat were going to win it all from the way they set the tone in the opening tipoff of 2011-2012. There was an intense focus and determination in their play and demeanor. Any uncertainty and immaturity they showed in 2010-2011 was completely gone. Wade decided to fully defer to LeBron, and Bosh completely bought into becoming the defensive anchor. Wade and LeBron were in complete attack mode in the paint after 2011
BEST MOMENTS OF ANY SPORTS #HEAT🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Stay humble and always appreciate those team who are able to win 3 even 5 or 6 rings .
One of the only good thing that came from this era as a Bulls fan was when we beat their 27 game win streak.
Without Rose on top of that!
Could have threepeat if lebron had played better in 2011
nope. the mavs did a great job shutting down the paint so lebron had to take jumpers. it was the absolute perfect scenario for the mavs. they were built to stop a team like the heat and unfortunately for the heat everything went wrong for them while everything went right for the mavs. dwade and lebron still had rusty jumpers and they were still figuring out who was supposed to be the leader. there was literally nothign lebron could have done
At least lebron will have his three peat
@@therealjaystone2344 will see what happens
LeBron was lucky to repeat or even win a championship
@@baron17 no
I miss this team. Way better than Bron’s last 2 rings.
And another 2 more rings
Not better than the one in Cleveland
Man I hated those Heat teams back then. But looking back, they played some of the best basketball prior to the three point era and what I think was Lebrons best version of himself.
All my friends would pick heat in 2k
"Wade from behind takes it away.. Chalmers.. Cole.. JAAAMES!!!"
"Not 2.. Not 3... Not 4......."
And they ended up winning 2
The lesson is life can be really unpredictable even when you are supremely talented.
@@mcflynnsreturn lmaoooo the only lesson here is to not count ur chickens before the eggs hatch .
@@jaimelannister3317 yup I felt bad for them after that but they did kinda ask for it by name and number with that pep rally :D
@@mcflynnsreturn honestly. You’d think he’d learn his lesson with the not 1 not 2 . But then the man goes on his own shows and calls himself the goat smh . Counting them chickens way to early
Best era of basketball🔥🥳
And Thus, the legend of SUPER TEAM! BEGAN!
man I miss the big 3 era so damn much
Damn, it's nostalgic.
12:22 i still dont get why Terry jumps and contest that dunk lmao most of the time players under the rim will do a screen so they can draw a foul
DW, Lj, CB, RA 🔥 miami heat
Could u do a vid on dwyane Wade??? Please! And klay Thompson too??
Love those lebron-wade-bosh years in miami...
‘Not one, not two, and definitely not seven.’ 😆
THE STORY BEHIND THE GOLDEN DYNASTYYY PLEASEEEE!!!!!!
No too soon
Commenting because the felony level of criminal activity going on here is unprecedented.
This channel has 10m subs and nobody can tell me different.
Bryan Colangelo, the guy who traded away the valuable Jermaine O'Neal contract with a 1st round pick, helped start this Big 3.
GIVE ME THAT WARRIORS DYNASTY BRO NEED THAT RN!!
Not enough mention of Spoelstra’s brilliant coaching.
I'm a miami heat lifer. Even tim hardaway, sr, used to mow my great granddad's lawn in chicago. Am I the only non-bandwagon fan that didnt like lebron coming to miami and was happy when he left? I didnt really like the 4 years with him. And before anyone calls me a lebron hater, just understand I dont like his mental tenacity. I remember d wade punching lebron in his chest during the 2011 playoffs because lebron was celebrating prematurely. But what he did against the warriors for 4 straight years made him a player I love and respect because that showed some mental tenacity that was not seen in Miami...except of course when he got swept for the second time in the finals by the warriors (first time 2007 against spurs).
2:19 chill bruhhhhh😂💀
Another Big 3 video. Ain't complaining when it's from TheScore and done by the OG Mr. Casciaro. 👌
I was a Miami Heat fan 4 years.
Sincerely, King James fan
Miami's 2013 team can give a nightmare to a 2017 warrior and 96 bulls. i cannot say who is the clear favorite but that matchup is Lit 🔥
I wish 13 Heat had 2011 Wade , that would be a top 5 team ever
If the Lebrons supporting cast was soooooo bad in Cleveland, how come no team he ever played with won more regular season games?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Best Big three
You need to do the story behind Kobe and Shaq’s beef
That’s SB
Joseph Casciaro is a beauty and a closet Heat fan
As a hater of the Big 3 while they were active, I can look back and say that atleast...they lived up to the hype. Reached the finals four times in a row, and won 2. In the midst of failed supergroups (Nets), these guys were the real deal...
Please do make a Dwyane Wade, and Klay Thompson videos too 🙏🏽
2011 isn’t a stain. It was a HUGE stain. What about 07 when he averaged 22 on 35% fg in the finals.
whats the song that starts playing at 10:50?
*"Not 2, not 3, not 4, just two!"*
Amazing 🤩 video. This really opens people eyes. I hated Lebron James for doing this when I was younger. But now days idc! I’m glad he did it. Cause it made it so many other teams did the same thing
This run was so great that if you pick them on 2k youd still be teased even if you won 🤣
Does anyone know the song around the 12-14 min mark
Honestly, during this era nothing was more exciting than a Bron/Wade 2 on 1 fast break. Only thing better was MJ fastbreak solo.
Pat Riley was THE master
As a heat fan. This is the best era of basketball.
HEAT'
22
LeBron would’ve had more success if he had stayed in Miami in my opinion. The organization would’ve definitely gotten him help especially in Miami. I’m always gonna appreciate his contribution to our 2nd & 3rd championships. But we definitely had the best version of LeBron & I definitely think he would’ve had an incredible career if he stayed with the Heat.
That first season sounds eerily similar to the current Nets. 9-8 start with 22 out 23 wins to follow for the Heat. Hope history doesn't repeat with the Nets choking to an underdog in the playoffs
Nets won't choke. All of them are way past their prime and their big 3 either fit very well or java already played together. James Harden anf KD have already been in a finals series together. KD and Kyrie are gonna make sure buckets are made. Even Harden if he's having a good night.
Big 3 Miami heat is what led me to watch basketball.
🤔🤔🤔🤔 *Anybody else realize that LeBron just might be bad luck to have as a teammate... His costar in the Heat was Bosh and Wade but ever since Bron left, Bosh has barely played and has dealt with serious injuries. And Wade stats decreased rapidly once he left. With the Cavs, his costar was Love and Kyrie, and since Bron left him Love has been injured a shit ton of time and his performance on the court has decreased significantly...and Irving is always in and out of the lineup with "injuries" all the time.* 🤔🤔🤔🤔
lost the first time around and got blown out the last time around. Crazy
whats the music?
Wades Championship with Shaq will always be my fav Heat moment I’m just glad Alonzo Morning got to retire as a champion even if he was a roll player off the bench at the time because he was old
10:36 HOF material
This team needs a 30/30.
