After James made the dramatic revelation about joining Dwyane Wade<\/a> on the Miami Heat<\/a>, he instantly became the most hated player in the league at the time.<\/p>\n However, fans have heard a plethora of stories about James joining the Heat<\/a>. How about we put that on the back burner and focus on the third member of the Heat Big 3, Chris Bosh<\/a>?<\/p>\n Heat legend D-Wade recently made an appearance on the Pardon My Take podcast. During the episode, Wade discussed the Heatles era with James and Bosh.<\/p>\n Speaking of which, Wade revealed that before Bosh signed with the franchise<\/a>, Amar\u2019e Stoudemire and Carlos Boozer called him and James about potentially joining the Heat.<\/p>\n \u201cOnce people start getting a little inside that we were thinking about playing together, we got a couple calls. So we were getting calls from Amar\u2019e was a free agent, yeah, Boozer was a free agent,\u201d Wade said.<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cAnd so we had to look and see if those personalities and those talents have obviously worked with us, right?<\/p>\n \u201cBron and I were both committed to playing together, and it was really important who that third person was.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"HEAT](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/GettyImages-122212559-932x627.jpg\")
