Former Miami Heat guard Mario Chalmers felt playing alongside the greats in the game came with its downsides. He was a part of the Heat side throughout the big-three era. He joined the team in 2008 via a draft-day trade. Two years later, the Heat signed LeBron James [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/] and Chris Bosh to team up with Dwyane Wade [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dwyane-wade/], forming one of the greatest big-three ever. While Chalmers felt playing alongside the likes of LeBron James was great, he wasn’t completely delighted with one part of the game. Chalmers, who liked to take the clutch shots, said he had to respect the big players and give them the ball during the final moments of a game. “Playing with one of the greats is a learning experience. It’s a lot of fun, but it’s also hard with all the scrutiny and everything that comes with it,” Chalmers said on The HoopsHype Podcast [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mario-chalmers-on-miami-heats-big-3-era-rupturing-his/id1249189650?i=1000483098018] (Via Heat Nation [https://heatnation.com/media/mario-chalmers-says-letting-lebron-james-take-clutch-shots-on-miami-heat-was-difficult/]). “For a player like me that likes to take the last shot, that likes to be in the moment, you got to respect LeBron, you got to let him take those shots sometimes. Situations like that are difficult, but it was fun. I never take away from that experience of playing with that guy. He’s one of the greats.” CHALMERS AND LEBRON JAMES PLAYED TOGETHER FOR FOUR YEARS WITH MIAMI HEAT Chalmers and James were on the same team for four years. The team reached the finals in each of the four seasons and won two championships. The big-three dissolved in 2014. James continued his finals streak as he moved to Cleveland Cavaliers and went on to win another championship with his home town club. He is currently playing for Los Angeles Lakers looking for his fourth NBA [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/] title. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2-dwyane-wade-chris-bosh-and-lebron-james-issac-baldizon.jpg] Chalmers too didn’t stay long at the Heat after the dissolution of the big three. He started the 2014/15 seasons with the Heat, but the team soon traded him to Memphis Grizzlies. He last played in the NBA in 2018 for the Grizzlies. During his appearance on the podcast, Chalmers also talked about Dwyane Wade being a great leader. When he was asked about the best leader he has ever played with, he named Wade ahead of LeBron James. 

Former Miami Heat guard Mario Chalmers said it wasn't easy for him to let star
man LeBron James take the shots at clutch moments.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Miami Heat 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
The Miami Heat, owned by Micky Arison, is part of the NBA's Eastern Conference. They belong to the Southeast Division along with the Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Washington Wizards, and Orlando Magic.?
<img class="size-full wp-image-381877 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200918200139/miami-heat-logo-1-1.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="900" />

<h2 style="text-align: center">History</h2>
The Miami Heat entered the<a href="https://www.nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> NBA</a> in 1988 as an expansion team along with the Charlotte Hornets. They reached the Playoffs only twice in the first eight years, but fell in the first round on both occasions.?
In the 1995 season, they were acquired by Carnival Cruise Lines and saw a turnaround in fortunes. In the next season, they reached the Conference Finals, following Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls. En route, they cobbled up a 32-9 way record, earning them the moniker "Road Warriors." 
The Miami Heat constantly fell to the New York Knicks in the Playoffs between 1998-2000, before dropping off until the acquisition of Dwyane Wade in 2003. They made four consecutive Playoffs and won their maiden NBA title in 2006. A year later they were swept in the first playoff series.
This was the beginning of a slump in their fortunes. The team notched up an abysmal 15-67 league record in 2007-08. They made the Playoffs again in the next 2 years but didn't achieve success until the formation of the Big 3 in 2010.?
Miami Heat used the $48 million cap space and recruited LeBron James and Chris Bosh. They reached four consecutive finals and won two championships in 2012 and 2013.?
<img class="size-full wp-image-303240 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200630121535/2-dwyane-wade-chris-bosh-and-lebron-james-issac-baldizon.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="613" />
After LeBron James' departure, they made the Playoffs just twice. In the first year, the Miami Heat became the first team since the 2005 season's Los Angeles Lakers to miss out on the Playoffs after featuring in the previous final.?
<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/" rel="noopener noreferrer">LeBron James</a> (2012, 2013) is the only Miami Heat player to win the league MVP award. The legendary Pat Riley currently serves as the president of the Heat, while Erik Spoelstra has been the trusted head coach since 2008. In the 2021-22 season, Spoelstra is leading the side to great heights, as they are topping the Eastern Conference at the halfway mark.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Team's Sponsors</h2>
The Miami Heat have Ultimate Software as their main sponsors, who advertise on their uniforms. Besides the technology company, Miami has partnerships with companies such as Tissot, <a href="https://sponsorpitch.com/properties/miami-heat" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dell</a>, and several other companies.
