Miami
On July 9, 2010 one of the biggest transactions took place in NBA history sending NBA all-star lebron james and Chris Bosh to the Miami Heat to form the new dynasty with the resigning of Dwayne Wade. On this day of July 9th the famous but arguably infamous “Big Three” was formed, the new “Big Three” to hit the NBA, taking the spotlight away from the Boston Celtics the most recent team to form a big three before Miami. One may ask, “What is a “Big Three?” A big three is a cluster of NBA stars not just athletes, forming an alliance on one team usually taking a team from the status quo to super caliber playoff contender over night.
A Really Big Three
King James
Lebron James who also goes by King James was born on December 30, 1984 in the very small town of Akron, Ohio, growing up basketball was Lebron’s life he knew from a pretty young age he had a gift he was abnormally great at basketball. At age 14 Lebron James was dunking in his 8th grade basketball games against the most phenomenal of teams and athletes but no other teenager at 14 could keep up with Lebron at that age his athleticism appeared almost supernatural like gift from god. Lebron was a young kid playing in a grown man’s body. Lebron attended Saint Vincent- Saint Mary high school in Akron. Lebron James stands at 6 feet 8 inches, 240 pounds, with a wing span of over seven feet, this massive human being went on to be the number one draft pick of the Cleveland cavaliers in 2003 where he spent seven years of his career prior to making the move to the Miami heat. Lebron James is one of the two newcomers who chose constant warm weather, beautiful beaches, gorgeous scenery and an amazing night life, over cold frigid weather.
Bosh Time
Chris Wesson Bosh an NBA all star and Olympic gold medalists was born on March 24, 1984 in Dallas, Texas. Bosh grew up watching his dad play pick-up basketball games at the gym in Hutchins, Texas. Bosh was always tall for his age so he stood out amongst others as an athlete. In high school bosh was dubbed “Mr. Basketball” by the folks in his town. Chris Bosh attended Lincoln high school in Dallas before moving on to the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he played for only one year before leaving and going to the NBA draft. Bosh set out for the draft at 6 feet 10 inches, 228 pounds and was the fourth overall pick in the 2003 draft where he was selected by the Toronto Raptors. Bosh stayed in Toronto seven years before moving to Miami to play for the Heat.
Wade County
The last but not least piece to this puzzle we call the “big three” is the original glue to the team Dwayne wade, the only player to stay put and watch this “three-headed monster” form right around him. Dwayne is an NBA champion, NBA all star, and Olympic gold medalist, wade was born in Chicago, Illinois, January 17, 1982. Wade grew up in a very family oriented home with parents of strong religious background. Wade attended Marquette university before leading the Miami Heat to the championship in 2006 practically single handedly wade carried the team to victory over the Dallas Mavericks in two six games. Wade was drafted third overall in the 2003 draft, the same draft his two new teammates were drafted in all in the first round. Wade is listed at 6 foot 4 inches, 220 pounds and is still wreaking havoc in the NBA today.
Lebron Poetry Corner
Although Lebron James is the unstoppable athlete he is, his career has had its ups & downs and so has his relationship with his fans. After Lebron left Cleveland his public image had taken somewhat of a beating so Lebron held a poetry counter so his true fans could express their gratitude of his greatness. Although Lebron was hoping for good sentiments with his contest he still received some heavy blows in the mix. This is a poem written by J. Patrick Lewis:
Heartbreak on the Lake
Round the decay of that colossal funk,
Two vast and trunk less legs of one great hunk.
The mighty king of kings has now moved on,
And everyone in Cleveland hates LeBron.
