Before the 2010 season, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade were looking to join the Chicago Bulls. Bosh left the Toronto Raptors for Miami Heat but spoke about how close he was to joining the Chicago Bulls because of the legacy left by Michael Jordan.

The Miami Heat franchise was incredible back in the early 2010s. With LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh, the Heat won two consecutive NBA championships in 2012 and 2013. Even though they won two titles, they played together for four years but could not win another NBA title.

Michael Jordan and his legacy with the Bulls

While the trio of Rose, Bosh, and Noah would have given them a championship, it is safe to say that Bosh was comfortable joining D-Wade and James in Miami.

Jordan won six titles with the Bulls, he was a five-time MVP, and also a 10-time NBA scoring champion.

The commitment to which he played basketball was tremendous. No other team has the expectations of the Chicago Bulls because of Michael Jordan’s legacy.
