Chapter 1 2006
2006 is the only season the Heat went to the finals without the big 3!
In 2006 the Miami Heat were having a great season. They made it to the eastern conference finals against the Detroit Pistons and were up 3 games to 2. Then the Heat put their best players on the floor surrounding center Shaquille O'neal and shooting guard D-Wade with several talented (and new) players. But the Heat's moves didn't pay off................at first. The Heat still pulled it out and defeated the Detroit Pistons 4-2!
Fun fact D-wade is the only big 3 player who played in 2006
Although it was tough beating the Mavericks. The Heat lost their first 2 games leaving the Mavericks only 2 more games to win! In game 3 the Mavericks were up by 13 points with 6:34 left on the clock! Suddenly, Dwayne wade took over the game, and the series leading the Heat to a win and more in games 4, 5, and 6! And won the 2006 NBA championship!
Chapter 2 2011 in Dallas Fun fact Shaquille O'neal was also on the Celtics, Cavs, Lakers, and Magic.
In 2011 the Heat had just signed Le'Bron James. They had created the big 3! With the big three the heat might've been the best 2011 NBA team. In the 2011 playoffs, the heat dominated the eastern conference and went to the finals against the Mavericks. AGAIN!
The Heat wouldn't have gone to the finals if they hadn't signed Le'Bron. The Heat had beaten the Mavericks in 2006. The Mavericks had a chance to get revenge. And that's what they got. And the Heat would have won but Dirk Nowitzski took over the final game beat Miami. Dirk Nowitzski also won finals MVP.
Chapter 3 OKC in 2012
V. S
Have you ever been in the NBA finals taking on Le'Bron James and the big 3? Well Kevin Durant has. Because in 2012 the OKC Thunder took on the defending champs, Miami Heat. But it would would be a tough win if KD and Russell Westbrook came out on fire and put up amazing points.
V.S
But..... They didn't. It was the Heat's 2nd title and 2nd time in a row that they went to the finals. It was their first championship with the big 3. Will the Heat's big 3 take Miami back to the finals?
Chapter 4 San Antonio
If you don't think so, your wrong. Because the Heat dominated the eastern conference playoffs beating the Bucks 4 games to 0, the Bulls 4 games to 1, and the pacers 4 games to 3. Then took on the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA finals.
It wasn't all big 3 in the finals. Here are some other important players
Mike Miller, Ray Allen, Chris Andersen, and Shane Battier.
After game 5, the spurs were winning 3 games to 2. All they needed was a game 6 win and grab their 5th NBA title. But they lost. It all depended on game 7. Series tied 3-3 and the Heat were at home for game 7. 1 word. Le'Bron. Best player of the 7 game series. The Heat couldn't have done it without Ray Allen's buzzer beating, championship saving 3pointer.
