Allen Iverson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_Iverson] was recently chosen as the best player to wear No.3 in NBA history by ‘The Athletic’. The fans and analysts seem to be ‘shell shocked’ by this statement with Dwyane Wade in the list of No. 3s. Disappointment is bound to trickle amongst D’Wade fans considering his accomplishments which are no less than AI. With 3-time championships and Finals MVP, many opt for Wade for the all-time #3 title. In his 3rd NBA season, Dwyane, the best player of that season, led Miami Heat to their first NBA [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/] championship in the history of their franchise. Against the likes of LeBron James [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/] and Chris Bosh, he took Miami to four consecutive NBA finals from 2011-14 and won back-to-back championships of 2012 and 2013. “D’wade accomplished a little more as part of championships than AI.” Shannon Sharpe once said. D.Wade + AI | Dwyane wade [https://i.pinimg.com/originals/09/48/2b/09482b249324873bb91f88613e007309.jpg]“His toughness was undeniable, how hard he played.” Iverson on Wade’s tribute The two can’t be compared when it comes to AI being the scoring juggernaut of his time. With a playoff career-scoring average of 29.6 per game, he was just second to Jordon. He was the first overall pick for Philadelphia 76ers in the 1996 NBA draft and was also named as the ‘NBA Rookie of the Year’ in the same season. His deadly crossovers and ball-handling skills made him lethal on the court. Despite their career credentials being parallel to each other, Iverson’s impact on the game is considered way different than Dwyane’s. DWYANE WADE: A FAIR SELECTION FOR ALL-TIME NBA #3 SPOT? Considering his stature and as a leader, Wade sweeps the credit of being the NBA all-time No.3 according to many. His defensive skills were way more exuberant than AI. The later having 11 NBA All-Star games next to his name is still short of Dwyane by two but surpasses him in the number of scoring titles he possesses. On the latest episode of ‘Undisputed’, Skip Bayless said that Dwyane is a ‘must-see TV’ for him. Definitely, Iverson’s numbers are insane to witness but Miami’s 13-time NBA all-star displays top efficiency in crucial games. With 3 NBA championships on his end and none for AI, D’wade is leading the charts in games that matter the most. 

Who is the best all-time No. 3 player in the history of NBA - Dwyane Wade or
Allen Iverson? Scoring mascot vs Miami's All-star. Who deserves it more?

<h2 style="text-align: center">Miami Heat 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
The Miami Heat, owned by Micky Arison, is part of the NBA's Eastern Conference. They belong to the Southeast Division along with the Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Washington Wizards, and Orlando Magic. 
<img class="size-full wp-image-381877 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200918200139/miami-heat-logo-1-1.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="900" />

<h2 style="text-align: center">History</h2>
The Miami Heat entered the<a href="https://www.nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> NBA</a> in 1988 as an expansion team along with the Charlotte Hornets. They reached the Playoffs only twice in the first eight years, but fell in the first round on both occasions. 
In the 1995 season, they were acquired by Carnival Cruise Lines and saw a turnaround in fortunes. In the next season, they reached the Conference Finals, following Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls. En route, they cobbled up a 32-9 way record, earning them the moniker "Road Warriors." 
The Miami Heat constantly fell to the New York Knicks in the Playoffs between 1998-2000, before dropping off until the acquisition of Dwyane Wade in 2003. They made four consecutive Playoffs and won their maiden NBA title in 2006. A year later they were swept in the first playoff series.
This was the beginning of a slump in their fortunes. The team notched up an abysmal 15-67 league record in 2007-08. They made the Playoffs again in the next 2 years but didn't achieve success until the formation of the Big 3 in 2010. 
Miami Heat used the $48 million cap space and recruited LeBron James and Chris Bosh. They reached four consecutive finals and won two championships in 2012 and 2013. 
<img class="size-full wp-image-303240 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200630121535/2-dwyane-wade-chris-bosh-and-lebron-james-issac-baldizon.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="613" />
After LeBron James' departure, they made the Playoffs just twice. In the first year, the Miami Heat became the first team since the 2005 season's Los Angeles Lakers to miss out on the Playoffs after featuring in the previous final. 
<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/" rel="noopener noreferrer">LeBron James</a> (2012, 2013) is the only Miami Heat player to win the league MVP award. The legendary Pat Riley currently serves as the president of the Heat, while Erik Spoelstra has been the trusted head coach since 2008. In the 2021-22 season, Spoelstra is leading the side to great heights, as they are topping the Eastern Conference at the halfway mark.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Team's Sponsors</h2>
The Miami Heat have Ultimate Software as their main sponsors, who advertise on their uniforms. Besides the technology company, Miami has partnerships with companies such as Tissot, <a href="https://sponsorpitch.com/properties/miami-heat" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dell</a>, and several other companies.
