Dwyane Wade believes the big three that he was a part of at Miami Heat [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/miami-heat/], alongside LeBron James and Chris Bosh, was one of the best of all-time. On Friday, during a three-way talk between Wade, Udonis Haslem and Channing Frye on Bleacher Report’s “Run It Back,” [https://bleacherreport.com/post/miami-heat/26d94e62-e3ed-4ae6-97b3-8d3c1fd8396d] Wade said their big-three was near the top although not the best. “Are we the best of all time? Probably not, but we’re definitely one of the top in the sense of the body of work that we put in in those four years,” he said. “But are we the best? That’s not for me to say, but we’re definitely one of the best.” Wade, a part of Miami Heat since 2003, was joined by James [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/] and Bosh in 2010. To form a big-three, they had even taken a pay-cut. And the subsequent seasons would prove it was worth it. With the three by their side, the Heat would go on an incredible run the next few seasons. Their four years together was one of the most fruitful periods for the franchise. They won two consecutive titles in 2012 and 2013. During the 2012-13 season, they went close to beating the record for the most number of wins on the trot- winning 27 games. 1990S CHICAGO BULLS OR LEBRON JAMES, DWYANE WADE & CHRIS BOSH’S MIAMI HEAT? While the Heat’s achievements with the big-three were indeed incredible, it would be difficult to rank them among the all-time best. For example, the Bulls had Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman as they won a three-peat. Similarly, the Los Angeles Lakers of the 1980s had an array of stars. Talking on the Run it Back, Udonis Haslem, a part of the Heat’s team, felt said their big-three would have ranked second. “I will say they would be second because you would never know,” Haslem said. He picked the trio of Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman as the best big-three ever. It isn’t surprising considering their achievements. It was a time when the Bulls were dominating the NBA. And they had dominated for a longer period as compared to the Heat’s short run. 

Dwyane Wade opens up on whether the big three that he was a part of at Miami
Heat along with LeBron James and Chris Bosh was one of the best ever.

<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.
