Rich Paul Absurdly Claims the Miami Heat Were Never a "Big Three"!
Rich Paul's controversial statement claiming the Miami Heat's championship core of LeBron, Wade, and Bosh was "never a Big Three" sparks heated debate about NBA history and narrative control. I explore why this claim is absurd by examining the definition of a Big Three and comparing it to other famous NBA trios.
• Define a Big Three as three perennial all-star players in or around their prime years
• Breakdown of the 2008 Boston Celtics Big Three (Pierce, Allen, Garnett) as a classic example
• Analysis of the Warriors' Big Four with Durant joining Curry, Thompson and Green
• Detailed stats showing Miami's trio were all multi-time All-Stars in their prime when they joined forces
• Rich Paul's statement appears to be an attempt to rewrite history to enhance LeBron's legacy
• Examining how Bosh's role as "ultimate professional" doesn't diminish his star status
• Statistical comparison showing LeBron played with more All-Stars against fewer playoff All-Star opponents than Jordan

What's up everybody? It's your favorite show's favorite show Get a Bucket. I'm your host, trey, and, as usual, I hope you're all having a wonderful, wonderful day Now. Today we're going to talk about my definition of a basketball victory. But before we do that, please make sure to hit that like and subscribe button.
Speaker 1:Comment to anyone who's anyone, about the show trying to get the ratings up a little bit. You know, just a little bit. But like I said, ladies and gentlemen, today we're going to talk about a basketball big three. What is it right? Well, long story short, the definition for me is you got to acquire three perennial all-star players, right, and they can be in their prime or around their prime. For example, if you're like 31 plus, all right, cool, we'll take that too. That's part of a big three. So again, ladies and gentlemen, that's my definition of a big three.
Speaker 1:And now this conversation. You might be wondering well, where did this spark off from right? How many big threes we really have in the NBA? Are they really working right now? That's another discussion for another day. But this conversation sparked off because we have some beef right now Rich Paul and Chris Bosh. Rich Paul has actually made the statement, ladies and gentlemen, that this was never a big three. The Miami Heat were never a big three. We're never a big three, and in fact, the exact statement was this there were three guys that went in the lottery and they did really well individually on their teams, so they had big numbers and had big accomplishments, but when you think about it, bosch was the ultimate professional. Ultimate professional. He took a backseat and he played a role in which, because he had such a high Q and he was such a professional as an individual, his approach to everything is what made that work.
Speaker 1:Ladies and gentlemen, I'm still trying to figure out how this is not a big three. I'm still trying to figure out how it is not a big three. Again, y'all heard my definition, but maybe y'all don't agree. So let's go over a couple examples of what a big three is, because, again, I think Rich Paul is off his rocker. So let's look at the Boston Celtics, for example. Right, we have in 2008, paul Pierce, who was 30 years old, five-time all-star. Ray allen, 32 seven-time all-star. Kevin garnett, 31 10-time all-star, and they formed together and they ended up winning a championship too. By the way, could have won twice if it wasn't for my boys. You know I'm saying y'all know how we got down, but, ladies and gentlemen, still a big three, whether we want to look at it or not. And again I said, around the prime years, prime years for me is like 25 to 20 or to 30. I really say 26 to 30, but I'll include 25 as well. So again, they fit the bill right.
Speaker 1:How about the warriors? And they have a big four Like Steph, 28,. Three-time All-Star Klay Thompson 27, three-time All-Star Draymond Green 27, two-time All-Star Kevin Durant, 28, seven-time All-Star with OKC. Like this is a big four. And funny enough too. I love this picture right here, ladies and gentlemen, because if you look at Kevin Durant's elbow it's kind of blocking out Draymond Green's face. So they really had a big three with KD Steph and Kevin Durant, I mean with KD Steph and Klay Thompson. But I love the elbow right here because again, it's blocking out Draymond Green's face. But, ladies and gentlemen, let's not get it twisted. They did have a big four face. But, ladies and gentlemen, let's not get it twisted, they did have a big four. We're going to act like this wasn't a big four now because we can say, oh well, clay Thompson and Drayvon Green were the ultimate professionals. They didn't really have the ego like that, like no, I'm not going to say that, bro, at all. So when we're looking at here, this Heat team, this Miami Heat team, and remember, ladies and gentlemen, they said these boys said we gonna win, hold on, let me get back on screen. Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven, not eight, like they said, all that, that team won't a big three really. Let's look off and see what they actually did. Right, all right, he.
Speaker 1:In 2011, they acquired chris bosh and lebron james. Both. Ross was a five-time all-star. Bosh was a five-time All-Star. Lebron was a six-time All-Star 26 years old. That's in the prime years, ladies and gentlemen. They already had D-Wade, who was 29. Still in the prime years, ladies and gentlemen, who was a six-time All-Star and an NBA champ, with a finals MVP to boot.
Speaker 1:But again, this team ain't no big three Like, never a big three really. Just the ultimate professional. Got you? That's how ignorant is Hale? And I'm telling you, right now, I need to hear Braun's stance on this statement, because right now, the battle between Chris Bosh and Rich Paul is ridiculous, and I think, right now, all we, chris bosh and rich paul is ridiculous and I think right now, all we're doing, when we're making the statement of never a big three, we're really just trying to make the narrative, change the narrative and help braun's case out in the goat discussion, like next up we're going to talk about. D-way really wasn't a dynamic duo with braun because he was 29 and the injuries issue, and I've actually heard people try to make that case too, by the way, which is insane, like Braun's camp and Stan's love to control the narratives, ladies and gentlemen. So and you got to remember, too, that 2007 Cavs team it wasn't as bad as people try to make it out to be, and I've already made a video about this. I hope y'all go check it out.
Speaker 1:But next, I'm wondering what's going to happen, like, what statement is Rich Paul going to make? Because I have a huge gripe with this statement. Again, if Chris Boss is not there, there's a strong chance the Miami Heat don't win too. There's a legitimate chance Because again, he had to adapt and become a stretch five. There's a legitimate chance because, again, he had to adapt and become a stretch five, one of the most successful stretch fives that we've seen in the NBA's history. Like that is a wild statement.
Speaker 1:And again, we're trying to make the narrative that Braun is a little closer to Jordan than what people want to admit. Well, since we want to discredit players, fine, let's do it like this we want to control narratives. Braun's played with 20 All control narratives. Bronze played with 20 all-stars, mj played with 20. Bronze played against 29 all-stars, mj played against 23 in the playoffs. So it sounds like bronze needs more help going against less talent.
Speaker 1:If we talk about ratios, is that the narrative you want to spin to Rich Paul? I'm just asking the question Because, again, making the statement that this was never a big three, like this was never a big three, really that's ignorant as hell to state. So again, ladies and gentlemen, I hope you all are seeing the gripe and understanding why I really truly hate this statement. And again, this is LeBron James's agent. So I'm very curious what LeBron James says in defense to Chris Bosh, someone who's contributed to him getting two championships and helped make a case for him to be even in the GOAT discussion to begin with. But, ladies and gentlemen, I'm curious y'all thoughts. Am I off my rocker? Do y'all think Rich Paul is right? Y'all let me know. But that does conclude the episode. Ladies and gentlemen, so I greatly appreciate you all for listening. Hope y'all are having a good one. Please make sure to like, subscribe, comment, tell anyone who's anyone about the show. My name is Trey. I'm the host of Get a Bucket. Hope you all are having a good one. Take care.
