List the top five, in order, 1-5.

 

If you need a little help: http://www.otrbasketball.com/heat/roster.php

 

Keep in mind that the top ROSTER of all time is not the same as the top five best players of the franchise, so obviously, those rosters will be leaving out players that could very well be in the top five, but were slotted behind a better player at that position.

 

Just for kicks, explain your selections. :dribble:

Other than Wade, I don't see how you all can put Shaq or LeBron (lol...) over Zo. That is crazy. He had some amazing years with the Heat, even with all those injuries. One year with LeBron isn't enough.

Zo is the second greatest Heat player of all time, next to Wade. I'm not even sure how that's debatable.

1. Dwyane Wade

He's their all-time leading scorer, leader in assists, and steals. He's been one of the dominant players in the league since he entered the league. He's also responsible for bringing Miami their first and only title.

 

2. Alonzo Mourning

He's Miami's leader in games played, rebounds, and blocks, while ranking second in points. He was one of the best defensive players in NBA history and one of it's most intimidating players. He helped make Miami one of the top teams during the late 90s and early 2000s.

 

3. Tim Hardaway

Ranks second on Miami's all-time assist list, and was one of the best PGs in the NBA during his time with the Heat. He along with Zo formed one of the better duos in the NBA.

 

4. Glen Rice

He ranks third on Miami's all-time list in scoring and steals, is fifth in games played, and still ranks high in several other categories. He was Miami's first star and still holds the Heat record for points in a game with 56. And he did this after he was nailin' Palin so he gets points for his brief entry into politics.

 

5, Shaquille O'Neal

He wasn't there long, but he helped get them a ring. That gives him the edge over other players like Jamal Mashburn and PJ Brown.

Just the amount of hype and success LBJ and Shaq brought to Miami puts them in the top 5 to be honest.

One year isn't enough, it doesn't compare to the countless number of years others have put into this franchise. I'll give Shaq a pass because he won a ring with Miami, but not LeBron... not yet.

 

There's no doubt LBJ will be #2 on this list very soon, but you can't honestly put him in the top 5 already.

If you wanna go the longevity route then definitely I'd agree but in terms of overall impact on the franchise and performance on the court..I'll put LBJ there no problem.

In a thread like this, you gotta factor in longevity. One year just isn't enough, unless he has a historic season that results in a championship.

1. Wade

2. Zo

3. Hardaway

4. Rice

5. Shaq

 

The list WILL change if Lebron wins here, but those guys made the franchise what it is today. Without them, we are just any random NBA team with a shitty history. I would put guys over Shaq too, but he was 2nd in command in our only title.
