1. The Miami Heat big three

The Miami Heat may not have won as many titles as the team predicted it would win during its introductory press conference but it is still the team that LeBron won the most championships with and there is a reason for that.

While Ray Allen’s clutch shot is the reason for one of the two titles, there is no denying that this is the best big three that LeBron James has been a part of.

First of all, this was the best version of LeBron James we have ever seen. 2012-2013 LeBron James is legitimately scary as he had one of the greatest seasons of all time. While he had better seasons statistically in his first Cleveland stint, he sacrificed some stats in Miami that season and was still incredible.

Again, this version of LeBron in 2021 is more experienced and knows more about the game, but that version of LeBron saw the freakish athleticism finally come together with the unmatched basketball IQ.

And then we have one of the four-best two-guards of all time in Dwyane Wade. LeBron may have only gotten one true year of his prime window but he was still elite in this time period. The first three years together he averaged 23.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game while playing great defense.

Chris Bosh was the perfect third star for that team and despite being the in the prime of his career he was willing to take a step back and be the third option and still averaged 17.3 points and 7.4 rebounds.

Free agents to now target with Westbrook. dark. Next

Three Hall of Famers on one team, two of which were in their prime and the third was barely out of it. This was a team that won 27 games in a row in the modern NBA. That is incredible.
