The Miami Heat have been a long-time fixture in the Eastern Conference playoffs and have made the NBA Finals twice in the past five seasons, though they have no ring to show for it.
Miami, under head coach Erik Spoelstra and team president Pat Riley, have built a tough and physical roster that is built for playoff basketball though they could use more talent to compete with the rest of the league.
The Heat have been looking for a way to get over the hump as their last title came in 2013 when they were led by LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
That trio won two titles together, though Wade won a third title previously alongside Shaquille O’Neal.
Wade is widely considered the greatest player in Heat history for all that he did while playing for South Beach and he revealed that he had his most fun playing basketball during his rookie season via 7PM in Brooklyn.

Wade explains his first year in the NBA was so fun because there were no expectations and he and his teammates would just go out and hoop.
He also admitted that although the team was terrible on the floor, he was excited about living out his dreams and getting to travel to play basketball.
Wade closes the video out by saying once O’Neal came then the mindset changed though it goes to show that even losing seasons can be enjoyable for players.
