Rich Paul disputes the idea that the Miami Heat’s “Big 3” consisted of Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, and LeBron James.
When Rich Paul recently appeared on The Pat McAfee Show, he boldly declared that the NBA’s “Big 3” model has “never really worked.” The founder of Klutch Sports Group apparently maintained that the 2010 Miami-formed superteam was more of a big two because Bosh had a less role.
Rich Paul says Wade, LeBron and Bosh wasn’t a “big 3”
“When you think about it, Bosh was the ultimate professional, he took a back seat and played a role”

At the 18:17 moment, Paul stated:
“I always love a big two. I don’t really love a Big 3,” Paul said at the 18:17 mark. “People talk Big 3, but the Big 3 thing has never really worked. And you’ll say, well, what happened in Miami? That wasn’t really a Big 3.”
“There were three guys that went in the lottery, and they did really well individually on their teams, so they put up big numbers, and had big accomplishments,”. “But when you think about it, Bosh was the ultimate professional. He took a backseat and he played a role in which, because he had such a high IQ, and he was such a professional as an individual, his approach to everything is what made that work.”
Bosh ‘took a backseat’ when the three of them played together with the Heat, it’s true, but Paul’s comments might have been offensive to the Hall of Famer.
