NBA: All-Time Starting 5 of the Miami Heat

Guard – Dwyane Wade

Dwyane Wade

The greatest Heat player ever, Dwyane Wade had the most impact on the team and it started when he was drafted in 2003. Wade helped the Heat make the playoffs 12 times, three of which resulting to an NBA championship. He was named the NBA Finals MVP in 2006 for his performance, and his influence on the entire organization and city has not been or will never be surpassed by any player in Heat history.

Wade sits first in the Heat’s all-time leaderboard for points scored, total minutes played, assists, and steals. He also ranks fourth in rebounds, second in blocks, and seventh in three-points made despite not being known as a shooter. His No.3 jersey will never be worn by any Heat player ever again since it is going to be hanging in the rafters after his retirement.

Honorable Mention: Guard – Eddie Jones

Eddie Jones served as the bridge between two eras of the Heat, playing for them from 2000 to 2005. Jones was an All-Star in 2000, as well as a member of the All-NBA Third Team. He ranks ninth in the Heat’s all-time scoring list, seventh in assists and steals, and second in total three-points made.
