Jordan had Pippen who was named as one of the NBA's 50 greatest players of all time. I'm sure Jordan helped in is development, but to say that Jordan didn't have all-star help is just not accurate.

If Scottie Pippen had been drafted by Golden State he wouldn't be on the list of the NBA's 500 greatest players of all time.
my whole point here is that we've never seen multiple free agent superstars conspire together to go to one team. Bosh is borderline superstar, his stats and his role on the Olympic team put him in the 10-15th ranked player in the NBA. and it's lame, it's like in Little League sports where some douchebag parent/coach who takes it all too seriously stacks his team with the best kids.
I also think that if it happens it will backfire on them - these are three players who have been the number one scoring option on their teams, they all can't get the ball. Bosh will be cool with scoring 17 pts a game versus 23 but Wade and Lebron - they'll both want to score 30 a night and it won't happen.
