The year was 2010 and Miami Heat Head Coach Erik Spoelstra was in the midst of just his second season as the head man for the Heat. Dwyane Wade was 28 and in the middle of what would be just his seventh season of the NBA. Of course and as he had been for the previous 5 years of his seven-year career at the time, he was named an NBA All-Star for the Eastern Conference.
The Miami Heat were 26-27 as the All-Star break was set to begin and coming off of an 18 point drubbing of the Atlanta Hawks, the team that had sent them home in the first round of the previous season’s playoffs.
