The Miami Heat are one of the premier teams in the Eastern Conference. Winning two championships in the last decade and constantly making deep runs in the playoffs, the Heat have established themselves as a top team in the East.
In its 35-year history, the Heat have seen multiple talented players on their roster. Starting off their roster with stars like Alonzo Mourning, the Heat had their first taste of an NBA championship with the duo of Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O’Neal. But perhaps the most successful period for the Heat was the 2010s when LeBron James and Chris Bosh joined D-Wade to form the Heatles.
This Heat team won two championships in four years and was easily one of the best teams Miami has ever seen. Currently, the side is led by All-Star Jimmy Butler who has shown the league that he can challenge even the biggest stars in the postseason. With the offseason on, fans are often finding new ways to keep themselves engaged. This time, it was a post on building the best Miami Heat team possible within $15.

It was definitely interesting to see the different iterations of a team that fans posted. Perhaps the two most common names expectedly were LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. Wade, who played most of his career with the Heat and won three championships, is probably the biggest legend of the Heat.
Bron, meanwhile, only had 4 seasons with the team, which showed why he was one of the best players in the league locking up players and scoring with ease. With four Finals appearances, he certainly left a lasting impression. Perhaps the likes of Jimmy Butler are also a championship win away from becoming a legend of the franchise. Which stars did you pick for your all-time Miami Heat team?
