You cannot talk about the Miami Heat without talking about the “Heatles.”
That Big 3 of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh marked an era of NBA basketball, and they’ll go down as the greatest team in franchise history, at least until proven otherwise.
That’s why Heat fans were thrilled to see a heartwarming picture of Wade and Bosh celebrating the 4th of July together.

Bosh and Wade’s paths have been tied for a very long time.
They both entered the league as a part of that legendary class of 2003, undoubtedly one of the greatest of all time.
Bosh was the No. 4 pick by the Toronto Raptors, and Wade fell just right behind him at No. 5 to the Heat.
They played together for Team USA as a part of that Redeem Team that looked to bring the nation’s glory days back, and then they teamed up again in South Beach to form that iconic trio, winning two rings in four trips to the NBA Finals.
Notably, Bosh was the only of those three players that didn’t win at least three championships.
Wade was the first of them to reach the ultimate glory by winning a ring in 2006 before teaming up with them, while LeBron won in 2016 with the Cleveland Cavaliers and then in 2020 with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Bosh decided to stay put in Florida even after the trio broke up, but his career was cut short due to blood clots in his lungs, with the Heat pretty much forcing him to retire because of this life-threatening condition.
