Superfriends vs Flamingos

A great number of nicknames for the trio of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh have been suggested since The Decision. There were the "Bigger 3," "The Superteam," "The Sixpeat," and "LOOK AT US FOR WE CRAVE YOUR ATTENTION" (okay, I made the last one up).
The most prominent nickname seems to be "Superfriends" which while neat, doesn't accurately portray the situation. I get the comic book reference, but aren't they just regular friends? Would LeBron pick Chris Bosh up from the airport or help Dwyane Wade move? Would Chris Bosh do anything for the other two if his camera crew weren't present? No.

My twitter bro, @AllThatAmar (of SLC Dunk) coined the term "The Three Flamingos" on decision night. Whether an allusion to the flamboyant bird/lawn-ornament or the R&B group most remembered for breaking-up repeatedly, I feel it is appropriate.

You decide or suggest something new.
