In what might feel like a lifetime ago, superstars LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh once dominated the court as a trio in Miami.
The three recently made a public appearance in support of Chirs Bosh’s Hall of Fame Induction last week. The reunion was a wholesome moment for NBA fans everywhere, bringing back a sense of nostalgia for that particular era of basektball. In particular, the Miami Heats community seems to be escatatic about the reunion.
This year’s Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inducted a starstudded group that included Chris Bosh, Paul Pierce and Bill Russell. Of course, James and Wade showed up to support their former teammate. Bosh and Wade played six seasons in Miami, while he suited alongside James for just four seasons. Ray Allen, who also played with Bosh for two seasons at Miami, was also there to show support to the athlete. Bosh’s Heat made four consecutive finals appearances between 2011 to 2014 and even won back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013.
Bosh took the opportunity to reflect on his time playing with James in the league. In his induction speech he said, “The first time I saw LeBron play was in the summertime of 2001. He was 16. Back then, he was the best player I had ever seen. Seeing him play, he pretty much always set the tone for that class, but to watch him ascend to greatness, to actually do those things…they were calling him the “Chosen One”…to be able to deliver on those promises, actually be a great ball player but more importantly a great teammate, it’s been great to call him a friend, a teammate, and a co-champ.
Take a look below at some of the reactions from NBA fans of the reunion.
