For Monday's NBA HoopGrids, let's try to answer grid No. 9: which Miami Heat players have also played on teams that lost 55 or more games in a season?
It's impossible for all teams to have a winning record every season. There have been some historic winning teams that have won at least 60 games in a season. On the contrary, there have also been some historically poor teams that have lost more than 55 games.
Dwyane Wade is one of the greatest winners in NBA history but was a member of the 2007-08 Heat team that lost 67 games. Wade was just two years removed from winning the NBA Finals MVP when Miami endured one of their worst seasons.
