    Unbelievable. They havent even won a single GAME together yet!! Bosh has three playoff victories to his name in 7 years. Wade has 1 title. LeBron has none. Without Kobe, they couldn't win gold in 2006 World Championships.

    Jesus Christ, would it kill these guys to have a LITTLE humility?? This hubris of theirs is gonna bite them in the ass, I think. LeBron promised all this stuff to Cleveland and didn't deliver at all. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they don't win a single championship together. Seriously.

    Best threesome? Try Jordan/Pippen/Rodman, Magic/Kareem/Worthy, Bird/McHale/Parrish, etc...

    I couldn't believe that he actually said that when I heard it on the video this morning.

    Just remember, pride comes before the fall.

    It's arrogant, but it's probably close to being right.

    They have a LONG way to go before they can make that claim...let them win (1) title first.

    Re: I can't believe Wade called themselves the greatest threesome to ever play in the

    I think they are likely the greatest threesome- We have two of the best three players in the NBA in Wade/Lebron and a solid all star in Bosh. The only other time a team may have had the two best players was Kobe/Shaq and there was a big drop off after those two.

    I'm looking forward to seeing Miami playing and think they will win a title within their first three seasons- two mid-level exceptions may be necessary to add some depth, but some veterans may take the minimum to get a title before they retire.

    They need just a center, since it seems like they will have point guard in either Chalmers or Fisher.

    Chris Bosh is a fine player, but he is no Hall of Famer like Worthy, or McHale, or Baylor, or Pierce even.

    Hey LeBron, check this out: No matter how many titles you win, D-Wade will always have one more than you.

    That's an interesting point. I wonder who and how long it's going to take for one of them to get their feelers hurt and decide they can't handle sharing the spotlight?

    Re: I can't believe Wade called themselves the greatest threesome to ever play in the

    Bosh is better than Pierce or Worthy. Paul Pierce was not on a Hall of Fame track until he began playing for titles in 2008. Worthy was never a superstar...he made the Hall of Fame as a very good player who played on an amazing team.

    It's not clear that James/Wade/Bosh is the best trio ever, but they might be. It depends on whether Bosh had a break out season to a new level last year, or if it was just a career year.

    Re: I can't believe Wade called themselves the greatest threesome to ever play in the

    I respectfully disagree about Pierce. I think he is one of the most underrated players of the past decade. IMO, he's a step above Roy.

    As for this current trio, I hope they're all talk and hype. A more serious group would say squat and prove it on the court.
