Dwyane Wade Unearths Iconic Dance From Big 3 Heat Days, Claims LeBron James-Led Team Had Most Aura.
Few teams in NBA history have boasted a better trio than the 2012–13 Miami Heat, with “The Big Three” — LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh — all at the peak of their powers. On top of that, they had elite role players in their ranks, including Ray Allen, Chris “Birdman” Andersen, and Mike Miller.
That video has now resurfaced online and caught Wade’s attention. The three-time champ shared a post from HardRockBet on his Instagram stories, clearly agreeing with the video’s title: “No Team Had More Aura Than The Miami Heat Big 3.”
That Heat team featured excellent on-court chemistry, largely thanks to the bond they shared off the court. One particular moment that cemented the 2013 unit’s camaraderie was their participation in the viral Harlem Shake challenge, which was all the rage at the time. A famous video also showed the Heat stars dancing their socks off.
LeBron, Wade, and Bosh all donned outlandish costumes that made the video even more legendary. James wore a crown, Wade sported a Kanye West Graduation bear head, and one of the players even dressed up as a Super Mario Brother.Any guesses whose idea it was to shoot the Harlem Shake video?
Well, it was Wade and James, of course. The official Miami Heat YouTube channel released a behind-the-scenes video of the challenge back in 2020, revealing who the masterminds were. “When those two guys say we’re gonna do it, we’re gonna do it,” said retired star Shane Battier in the video.
