The Legacy of the Big Three: How LeBron, Wade, and Bosh Changed Miami Forever

I think you can go back further to Riley coming to Miami. I remember the Heat before Riley and that was a bigger change than the Heat before Lebron. The Heat won a championship before Lebron. The Heat were 32-50 the year before Riley arrived. Riley’s second year had the Heat at 61-21 and 2nd in the East losing in the ECF. Riley changed the Miami Heat in a way Miami hadn’t seen since Shula joined the Dolphins in 1970. The Heatles were exciting and certainly heralded a new era in the NBA – but for the Miami Heat, Riley’s arrival was more important than the Heatles.
