Miami Heat: Best Heat Players since 2000

#1. Dwyane Wade (2003-2016, 2018-present)

A Miami Heat legend through and through

Dwyane Wade takes the #1 spot because frankly, there was been no better player for the Miami Heat than Dwyane Wade. He has been there from the beginning of his career, drafted 5th in the 2003 NBA draft, he became a 3-time NBA champion, a 13-time All-Star, an NBA finals MVP in 2006, a 2-time All NBA first team player and the NBA scoring title in 2008-09 among other honours.

He is a Heat legend through and through. In the 14 seasons with the Miami Heat, Wade has averaged 23.4 points a game, along with 5.7 assists as well. LeBron has been a better player throughout his career but Wade has been with the Heat throughout, except for the time when Wade was forced out of the Heat by the front office and spent 2 years elsewhere before returning in 2018.

His contributions to the Miami Heat franchise have been something out of a fairytale. He will be retiring at the end of this season but this future Hall of Famer is easily the best player that has played for Miami Heat since 2000.
