This "dream team" thing is not necessarily a championship. There is a reason it's called "team." Remember Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, and Wilt didn't win any championships (as I recall) getting beaten by the Celtics all the time. It wasn't until they got Happy Hairston and Jim Macmillen that they actually had a team instead of three individuals.

The point is, if LeBron goes to Miami, how many basketballs will they need?

I don't see it working. Miami is D-Wade's team. LeBron is too stuck on self at this point to share billing. But if he wants to win a championship he needs to increase his BB IQ about 30 points or lose the ego and sign with a team that already has real leadership and BB smart players.

James may end up being the best player to never win a championship and all he will have to do is look in the mirror to see why.

LOL, I think you have a point. Greg Odom was supposed to be the next Shaq and he has never produced.

You could be right. While Lebron, Wade and Bosh would be one of the greatest trios in NBA history, chemistry might be a problem.

They are all fairly unselfish players, but James and Wade are both used to having the ball a lot and having being the center of the offense. Also, neither of them is a consistent outside shooter, though I imagine they will be able to find a player or two to fill that role.

Don’t get me wrong, they could dominate the NBA, but signing all 3 will not guarantee a title.
