Miami Heat – LeBron James is No Longer Part of a Big Three
Maybe counting out Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh isn’t the wisest thing to do, but it seems that the concept of the big three is no longer part of the Miami Heat, turning into a teams with an exceptional superstar, one of the greatest of all times, and a very talented roster around him, with players who can still be All-Stars, but probably can’t play to that ability on a game-to-game basis.

The LeBron James Show in Milwaukee
LeBron James and the Miami Heat couldn’t live with getting swept by the 12-16 Milwaukee Bucks in the three game seasons, and they handled a team that has given them too many problems already this season very well in their third and final meeting in the regular season, beating the Bucks 114-96.
