Although his time with the Miami Heat was short, LeBron James managed to lead the South Beach franchise to two consecutive NBA titles when he was at the height of his powers.
James ushered in the era of superteams when he joined forces with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, though the three’s union was shortlived after the King went back to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
However, even after James left Miami remained a playoff team in the Eastern Conference and are coming off another Finals run.
Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo lead the Heat now, and Erik Spoelstra has been able to maximize the team no matter who’s on the roster.
It’s hard to win consistently at the professional level, but Miami has been able to stay competitive throughout the years thanks to the front office and the players.
When talking about stability, James noted that there are only a few teams that can rival the Heat via Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald.
The San Antonio Spurs, Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots all enjoyed decades of success and Miami is creeping up on that level of status.
Although the franchise hasn’t won a title since 2013, they remain in the mix almost every year and are hard to bet against come playoff time.
The Heat are off to a slow start during the 2023-24 NBA season, but knowing them they’ll figure it out at some point.
