In their four years together, the Miami Heat made it to the NBA Finals four times, winning the 2012 and 2013 titles. Wade was the perfect foil for Lebron and was even was the team's best player during the 2011 NBA Finals defeat to the Dallas Mavericks.

In his four years with LeBron James, Wade averaged 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists per game on 51% shooting. During the NBA Playoffs, Wade had averages of 20 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals on 47% shooting from the field.

Chris Bosh was the third star of the Miami Heat's Big Three during the LeBron James era at South Beach. A franchise player for the Toronto Raptors during the first seven years of his career, Bosh was a major reason behind the Miami Heat's consecutive NBA titles.

Bosh averaged 17 points and 7 rebounds per game on 50% shooting during LeBron James' four years in Miami.

In the 2012 postseason, Bosh missed nine games after suffering an abdominal strain during the second-round series against the Indiana Pacers. When he returned to action, the Heat was down 3-2 against the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. The big man's return from injury helped the Heat launch a much-needed comeback.

In the pivotal Game 7 against Boston, he scored 19 points on eight of 10 from the field and grabbed eight rebounds, helping the team advance to The Finals.
