Another member on that 2015-16 Heat team was big man Amar’e Stoudemire. The 6’10” big man played the final season of his 14-year career in Miami.

Stoudemire, who grew up three hours away from Miami, was drafted ninth overall by the Suns in the 2002 draft. He won Rookie of the Year and would be a big part of the “Seven Seconds or Less” era teams alongside Marion and Johnson, making five All-Star teams and four All-NBA Teams.

The 6-10 big man signed with the New York Knicks in the summer of 2010 – making an All-Star team and All-NBA Second-Team in his first season there – before injuries derailed him. He was waived in February of 2015, played the rest of the season with Dallas and signed a one-year contract with Miami in the offseason.

In 53 games with the Heat – including 36 starts – Stoudemire averaged 5.8 points and 4.3 rebounds on 56.6 percent shooting in 14.7 minutes per game. He played in just nine of their playoff games, averaging 3.3 points and 1.4 rebounds in 9.1 minutes per game.
