Miami Heat was formed in 1988 and Pat Riley of the Basketball hall of Fame manages it. Owned by Mickey Arison, the team has managed to take one championship in 2006 and it has had a series of divisional wins in the late nineties and it has also feature in a number of play offs. The team is a member of the south East division of the NBA Eastern conference. Its logo shows a basketball passing through the rim leaving a trail of a flame of fire. Its colors include yellow, black, white, and red and they have thick striped uniforms. The team uses the America Airlines Arena that has a wide capacity for the great number of fans that has supported the team since its creation in the late eighties.

Some of the greatest moments of the club have been meeting the American president George Bush in 2006. Shaquille O’Neil and Pat Riley were in the front line of exchanging pleasantries with the then president of America. The club has also won a conference cup and its consistency of wins has made it one of the most famous basketball clubs in the world. Shaq O’Neil is a motivator of many basketball players. They have managed to win some crucial games that involve teams like the Detroit pistons and the Chicago bulls. The team started the first year with a record of losses since it was made up of young players at that time. However, with time, they started buying players from universities in Michigan and they managed to rise up in the next season. They were motivated by their performances and this has kept them going all along. They have a website where you can book your tickets to their matches online and this has kept most of their fans updated.

The team was awarded the third peak overall after the 1990 season but the coach had resigned. They signed a coach who has been in NBA for 29 years. They also signed new talent from the University of Georgia and other universities. This was aimed to breaking their record since they had not won two consecutive matches. However, determination was their motivator and since the team was still young, there was hope that they would succeed. They finished 10th in the NBA. The coming year has prospects for the young team. Pat Riley was hired in 1995 and it is then that results started showing for the team. The managed to clinch the divisional championships in 1996 and 1997 and they went on with the winning strike all along. However, they had not yet won a conference cup or a championship of the entire NBA. This was the reason why they still felt that they had to struggle even more. With lots of coaching and improving on their balling skills, they struggled on until they won the cup in 2006. They also won the conference cup for the first time and they are still determined to record more wins with time.
