Chris Bosh: That’s where we really became friends: The Olympics. By then, we’d played against and with each other long enough to have some sort of rhythm. Like any old friend from somewhere else, you get used to picking up conversations where you left them the last time you hung out. We played cards, got food, out in the hotel. We also won gold. I know people like to say that’s where we started talking about becoming the Big Three. That’s a fun story, but the truth is, when I got back from China, I wasn’t thinking about forming a superteam. None of us were. We were each trying to win. In a way, it was the same dynamic we’d started with at the beginning of the decade—we were just better friends now.
