The starters for the Miami Heat are household names during the NBA Finals - for true Heat fans and bandwagon fans alike. But for a moment, let's step away from the championship talk, and liken these guys to a group you probably haven't talked about in over a decade.
1. LeBron James: Pablo Sanchez (Backyard Baseball)
LeBron is the Pablo Sanchez of the NBA - you simply need him on your team. He always goes first in the draft, and surely, if the chubby little slugger were to hold a press conference to announce his future career plans, there'd be at least 10 million viewers glued to their Windows 98 computer.
SIDE-BY-SIDE ANALYSIS:
Sanchez: (Career)
Batting : 
Running: 
Fielding:
James: (Career)
Points/game: 27.5
Rebounds/game: 7.2
Assists/game: 6.9
If those stats don't say it all, I'm not sure what will.
2. Rashard Lewis: Mark Turmell (NBA Jam)
The hidden gem. Be it via cheat-code or a Birdman injury - they're there when you need them. Lewis, as a seasoned vet with the 8th-most three pointers of all-time, and Turmell as the lead programmer for the game, who inserted himself, as well a few other tricks to get the job done...

3. Chris Bosh: Master Hand (Super Smash Bros)
Ok, so The Hand isn't necessarily from this planet, but then again, is Bosh? Much like the hand, Bosh is incredibly versatile for a big guy - both are able to cover an incredible amount of ground. Even if the Spurs are able to shut down the rest of the Big Three, they're going to have to face up against the hand - which is enough to ruin anyone's day.

4. Dwyane Wade: Bo
Bo is arguably the greatest video game athlete of all time (GVGAOAT). The dude hit .399 in the eponymous 'Bo Jackson Baseball' game. He was so good, he literally either hit a homerun or he struck out - every time he was up. It'll be interesting to see if Dwyane can channel his inner Bo this series.

5. Mario Chalmers: Boo (Mario Tennis)
Mario Chalmers is the grease that keeps the wheels turning for Miami. Boo, known for his sneaky tactics, proves to be a valuable asset in any tennis match - much like Chalmers was during the 2008 NCAA tournament when he ended Derrick Rose's season with this shot.
