During the Olympics in 2008 there was a crazy rumor spreading. The rumor was that Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh had made a secret pact, a pact to be teammates after the 2009-2010 season. The plan was to go to the Knicks, who were thought to be the team able to clear cap space, and build a dynasty as the new “Big 3” and rule the basketball world in a most dominate way that Pinky and the Brain would drool over.  But this was thought to be a pie in the sky, boys in a clubhouse kind of pact.

Fast forward 2 years and change the team from the Knick to the Heat and the “Big 3” has actually come to be. Could there REALLY have been a secret pact? That would seem to be a little far-fetched. If it is a true scenario though, then why go through the whole recruiting process and give teams false hopes? Why not just tell everyone that you guys are good friends and want to play together?

Will this be a super team with no role players? That is to be seen. But what is known is that there are 3 players which could average 75 points per night on their own and pass the ball with accuracy and draw fouls all night long. This will be a nightmare to defend against, that is until the bench comes onto the floor.

I’m not totally sold on the rumor that the guys made a pact in 2008 because they loved playing together so much on the Olympic team. I am sold that this might be the best 3 players to ever suit up together for a team that doesn’t represent an entire country. But if the rumor is true then New Orleans better watch out, because there was a 4^th member to “the pact” and Chris Paul could be running point in Miami in 2012. That could be the NBA apocalypse.
