NBA fans often like to pit teams from different eras against each other in hypothetical matchups.
Former Miami Heat star Chris Bosh was recently asked who he would take between the Heat’s Big 3, which included himself, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, and the Brooklyn Nets’ current superstar trio of James Harden, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant.
Bosh was clear about which Big 3 he would take.

“Look, I always tell people that when you ask that question, if it’s a competitor, look, my team is gonna win every time and I’m going to tell you that every time,” said Bosh with a smile. “I don’t care if I get beat 20 times in a row, we’re getting the next one. That was just the first 20, we’re slow out the blocks. We’re about to get them. We’re wearing them down.”
The Heat’s Big 3 played four seasons together. During that time they made it to four straight NBA Finals and won two NBA titles.
This is the first season that Irving, Durant and Harden have all played together.
So far throughout this season’s playoffs, the Nets have looked like one of the favorites to end up winning the championship. They are currently up 2-0 on the Milwaukee Bucks in the second round of the playoffs.
