Former Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade has been making the headlines recently after his recent comments regarding the formation of the “Big 3” at the Heat. Notably, in 2010, the Big 3 was formed, consisting of LeBron James, Wade, and Chris Bosh. However, on the 7PM in Brooklyn Podcast, Wade made a shocking revelation regarding the Big 3.

Wade claimed on the show that he and his former teammate, James never wanted the Big 3 to be formed in the first place. Wade also claimed that his team, James’ team, and their families also did not want the Big 3 to form. However, in the end, the formation of the Big 3 was destined to happen as the Heat and their stars went on to achieve loads of success in the NBA.

Nobody wanted it. My team didn’t want it, my family didn’t want it. ‘Bron’s team didn’t want it. The game of basketball didn’t want it to happen.

Wade also further acknowledged that the formation of the Big 3 was the best move he made, as he learned and developed a lot at the Heat alongside James and Bosh.

"Nobody wanted it. My team didn’t want it, my family didn’t want it. ‘Bron’s team didn’t want it. The game of basketball didn’t want it to happen.”

On the contrary, the Miami Heat saw their best run in the NBA along with these 3 decorated stars in their prime. In their four seasons together, the trio guided the Heat to the NBA Finals, where they won back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013. However, after the Heat’s loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the following season, James opted out of the Heat, putting an end to the Big 3.

Dwyane Wade aside, another former Heat player reveals the most important player in the Big 3

The Miami Heat’s Big 3 was the most talked about topic in the NBA during the 2010s era of basketball. The likes of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh playing on the same team was the stuff one could only imagine happening and the Heat side made it possible. Notably, former Heat player, Udonis Haslem revealed the most important player in the Big 3.

Everybody think that our most important player was Bron. Our most important player, not our best player, but our most important player was CB [Chris Bosh]. He was our most important player because if Bron went down, you could bring in D-Wade, and it’s not the same player, but you’re gonna get similar results.

On the OGs Podcast, Udonis Haslem said

In addition, The Heat made 2 Finals appearances and won two championships in four years. Bosh’s play style was innovative for its time, which is where Haslem gets his opinion. It was considered uncommon for a player of his caliber to routinely make three-pointers, which Bosh did regularly in the NBA, which amazed the NBA community back then.
