Miami Heat history
Miami began as an expansion team in 1988 and was mostly average until Pat Riley took over as president and coach in the mid-1990s. His trades that landed Tim Hardaway and Alonzo Mourning made the Heat a contender, and the pair led four straight division titles. Drafting Dwyane Wade in 2003 opened a new chapter.
With Wade and Shaquille O'Neal, and Riley back on the bench, Miami won its first title in 2006. Erik Spoelstra later replaced Riley as coach. In 2010 the Heat added LeBron James and Chris Bosh, and the Big Three made the Finals all four years together, winning in 2012 and 2013. Riley stayed on as team president through all of it, and the group had split up by 2016, starting a rebuild.
