The Miami Heat are a franchise that has come to be synonymous with greatness. In a relatively short-lived NBA existence, the Miami Heat have grown to become one of the more successful franchises in the league.
When thinking about the fact that they’ve only been around since 1988, their three NBA Championships are quite the accomplishment. While Pat Riley and Dwyane Wade themselves can take a ton of credit for all three, the second and the third title have a ton to do with the formation and inception of the Big 3 era.
