Dwyane Wade: The Heart of the Miami Heat
Dwyane Wade was drafted by the Miami Heat in 2003 where he quickly emerged as a solid player averaging 16 points per game with a 46% shooting average and around 4 assists per game all in his rookie year. While improving his game with outstanding performances in the playoffs he fell short to the selection of the 2004 NBA All-Rookie Team, placing his third in rookie of the year voting just behind Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James.
Trade Update
The Miami Heat traded away Eddie Jones for Jason Williams, Antoine Walker, and James Posey. While it looks good on paper, is this a good move for the Heat?
Players That Were on Fire
Let's all be honest, we do not normally think of the Miami Heat as being a team that can win the NBA title. In fact when compared to the Lakers and Celtics they resemble a High School Team. However don't be fooled, their skill as a whole is in no way indicative of their ability to develop top-level talent.
The Miami Heat is a professional basketball team based in Miami, Florida, United States. The team is a member of the Southeast Division in the Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). They play their home games at American Airlines Arena. The team is owned by Micky Arison, coached by Erik Spoelstra and are managed by Basketball Hall of Fame coach Pat Riley.
The Heat were formed in 1988 as an expansion franchise along with the Charlotte Hornets. Since then, Miami has fielded squads that have made the playoffs 13 out of the 21 seasons, captured seven division titles and won the 2006 NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks 4–2.
