Miami Heat: DC Comics

The Miami Heat were a tough team to peg due to the seemingly limitless number of options available from a corporate perspective. Local businesses and global corporations have a fair say, but the final decision is DC Comics.

This may seem like a random selection, but the recent history of the Heat makes them a perfect match with DC Comics.

Dwyane Wade, the face of the franchise, has long been known as Flash—the same name as a beloved DC character. Shaquille O’Neal, who helped the Heat win a championship in 2006, was known as Superman—another beloved DC character.

If that combination of superheroes weren’t enough, Miami played home to the infamous Big Three team-up featuring Chris Bosh, LeBron James, and Wade.

Throw in Ray Allen and Miami essentially built their own version of either the Super Friends or the Justice League. One could even say that the Heat built their very own Suicide Squad with a cast of villains fighting for a good cause: a championship.

Regardless of how you view what the Heat did in the mid-to-late 2000s, it’s clear they built a DC Comics type of team.
