Flash's Trio?

by Alex larocca

Coming into the new Miami training camp with three all-stars, and an incredible amount of hype can Dwyane Wade and his staggering new crew get not one, but many championships? Will current leader Dwyane Wade remain the leader of this new Miami Heat?


The Heat are not the only ones who have made big moves during this off season, making the East now a more dangerous contender with teams like Chicago who just signed free agent Carlos Boozer and will be playing along side Derrick Rose, and the Celtics who have signed the Heats previous center Jermaine O'Neal to strengthen what is already a championship caliber team. With this said the Heat are not concerned with the strength of other teams right now, but with the chemistry of their own, and how they will approach this new season. The question arises, who will lead this team?

Will it be Bosh who showed his leadership in Toronto averaging 24.0 points, and 10.8 rebounds a game and has 5 all-star appearances; will it be the 2 time MVP Lebron James who at his young age developed a whole franchise and carried it to 2, 60+ win seasons in a row while averaging stats that can only be compared to names like Oscar Robertson, and Magic Johnson; or Dwyane Wade who averaged 26.6 points and 6.5 assists a game, and already delivered a championship for the Heat back in 2006.

Chris Bosh coming out of the Raptors will play a huge role in rebounding the ball and making his presence felt in the paint. Bosh can be a big difference maker when it comes to playing teams like the Orlando magic or Los Angeles Lakers because both of these teams have two of the top centers in the league, and Bosh has the ability to match up to big names like Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard; but as far as leading the team Bosh will not make the difference that Lebron James will make. Lebron is going to play a huge role in this team coming into it as the MVP of the league. Expect him to do work in his new Miami team. James has been a leader for all of his basketball career, carrying his high school team to multiple championships, and his NBA team the Cleavland Caveliers to 2, 60+ seasons, but he has not held the NBA title yet, and this is why he came to D-Wade for help. Dwyane Wade will remain the leader of this team, he is now 28 and has already won an NBA title. He understands the path that is needed to get to the championship again. Wade led the Miami Heat winning the championship back in 06 and won the finals MVP because of his outstanding poise and his ability to make plays under tremendous amounts of pressure. Although Lebron might get more points, or Bosh will get more rebounds, expect Dwyane Wade to be the difference when it comes to this teams success.
