Miami
Heat
The Miami
Heat came into the NBA for the 1988-89 season as
part of a two-phase league expansion. After
spending its first few years in the cellar, the
franchise began to make progress thanks to a
series of shrewd draft selections. Although the
Heat failed to achieve a winning season during
their first five campaigns, the team stayed close
to the break-even point and made it into the
playoffs faster than any of its expansion peers. For even more choices visit OnlineSports.com.
