Former NBA All-Star power forward Chris Bosh believes that the Golden State Warriors have the “dynasty” advantage over the Miami Heat Big 3 squad.
“I was thinking about our place in the history of the game and all that stuff,” Bosh said on Instagram Live, per Ira Winderman f the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. “I even think the Warriors had more of a dynasty. I think ours was, you know the band Cream, from the UK? We're more like Cream.
“We were more like Cream, ‘Ah, we'll come together. We'll play. We'll put this mega-thing together, four years, and four years only, baby…It was just a crazy time. It's crazy to even think I went through that.”
Chris Bosh and the Heat, alongside stars LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, achieved four consecutive title runs in South Beach, losing to the Dallas Mavericks in 2011 and San Antonio Spurs in 2014, bookending back-to-back championships in 2012-13.
James later had a first-hand look at Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant on the Warriors when he rejoined his Cleveland Cavaliers. The King matched up four straight times with Golden State in 2015-18, losing three times.
James made polarizing comments at the time during the Heat's introduction to their “Big 3” in 2010. Back then, he claimed the franchise would win “not one, not two” and so on titles while playing together in Miami.
Winning back-to-back titles is rare, but perhaps Bosh and the Heat are just shy of matching the Warriors' great run — five consecutive Finals appearances, winning three rings.
