“I’m going to bring a championship to the team,” Butler emphasized after the game in Game 2 of the 2020 season’s Eastern Conference finals. on Sept. 18, 2020, the Heat led the Celtics 2-0 for the 17th time in team history, after winning the series 16 times.

The first time Butler said he would win the championship was 18 days ago, on August 31, 2012, when he was interviewed by the NBA’s official website. At that time, the eastern semifinals a not yet played, data sites give the probability of advancement: Heat 21%, Bucks 79%.

 

Like the probability of this prediction, almost no one favors the Heat, and the only suspense seems to be the Bucks, who have the league’s top record, eliminating the Heat with a few games.

Eighteen days ago, it was against this backdrop that Butler told reporters on his official website, “I don’t need an MVP, I don’t care what anyone thinks. No trophy means anything except the O’Brien trophy. Man, I’m going to be a champion, and I mean it, and I think we can do something special here.”

Butler didn’t go back on his word as they became the first team to reach the division finals by eliminating the championship favorite Bucks with a 4-1 overall score. From that moment on, Butler and his Heat team, finally raised everyone’s alarm.

So far in the playoffs, the Heat are 10-1, the second 10-1 start in their playoffs team history, the last time being in 2005. What’s different is that the 2005 Heat, led by O’Neal and Wade, were the top seed in the East, while this season’s Heat are the No. 5 seed in the East.

A set of statistics given by expert Justin Kuabatko highlights even more the magic of the Heat’s playoff performance. Winning 10 of the first 11 games in the playoffs has happened 15 times since 1984. Of the first 14 teams to get off to such a fantastic start, 12 were top seeds and the other two were No. 2 seeds. Only this year’s Heat is a No. 5 seed.

The unheralded Butler, who led the unheralded Heat to an incredible playoff performance. 7 years ago, Butler, then a Bulls player, hated the Heat so much that he said in an interview that the one piece of clothing he would never wear in his life was a Heat jersey.

Seven years later, he not only wore the jersey, but also became the leader of this team, the U.S. media SlamStudio flirted with the idea that Butler, who made a statement in 2013 that he would never wear a Heat jersey, is now on the road to getting the Heat to retire his jersey in the future.

Indefatigable fighter, offensive and defensive Jimmy Butler

After leaving the Wolves, Jimmy Butler once again his ability to be the leader of Philadelphia and Embiardi and Simmons, and now he is attacking the championship with the Heat. Now Butler has reached an important stage in his career, he needs a championship to prove his worth and with Butler, fans are very optimistic about the future of the Heat. It must be said that Butler has been in the league up until now and having such strength is really rare. the NBA is a very realistic place, he is the dream of countless basketball players and the place that destroys the dreams of countless people.

Bulls Jersey

No talent or talent is not enough to stand, however, one’s success does not depend entirely on one’s talent, hard work is also a very important factor. Therefore in a highly competitive league, Butler to success is not easy.

A tragic childhood

In the league, many players’ families are not so happy, but for them, at least they have families. For Butler, his early years were like being abandoned by heaven, just after Butler was born when his father left him and his mother. When Butler was 13 years old, he was kicked out of his mother’s house because she didn’t like his appearance.

Heat Jersey

From then on Butler started his wandering life, he had to stay in a friend’s house in order to avoid sleeping on the street. It is hard to imagine the sadness of this life, but God did not really abandon him, after participating in the summer league, he met a good friend Jordan Leslie, Leslie knew Butler’s plight, and invited Butler to stay in his house. With that Butler finally had a place to stay and he soon became an up-and-comer in the up-and-coming high school league and then earned a nomination for Best Team in the Big East Conference for his outstanding performance.

Butler worked hard to be able to live a better life and achieve his basketball dreams, but the reality was really harsh, whether Butler was in high school or college, or he made it to the league. He is not the object of the most attention, but it is easy to be ignored, after all, to eat this bowl, you need to have a great talent, Butler’s physical condition is quite general, when he participated in the draft, physical test data: barefoot height 198CM, standing contact height 257CM, arm span 202CM, the ratio of arm span is only 1.02. Such data is really miserable, especially his height arm span Not enough, which led him to rank 30th.

Trying to play good defense

From a low starting point like Butler, even if he enters the NBA, he will face greater challenges. Butler was undoubtedly overlooked in his rookie season. The Bulls had a brilliant Rose, and with the attention focused on Rose, naturally, no one would care about Butler. His rookie season was even worse, scoring only 2.6 points in only 8.5 minutes per game. He didn’t really start for the Bulls until his third season.

Butler knew exactly where he should start and trained every day in order to get a foothold in the team. Focusing on improving his defensive skills and gradually Butler practiced his defense, he was aggressive, although he was not as physical as Leonard, he could not play top defense, but Butler often defended the opponent’s top player. Until now, Butler has been in the best defensive second unit four times, and he has 1.58 steals and 0.5 blocks per game. His 1.4 saves and 33.5 blocks per game this season rank in the top 10 in the league, and his defensive efficiency has reached 105.2, dropping opponents’ shooting percentage by 4.4% when he is in charge of the outside defense.

Butler’s height issues can’t be remedied due to his short wings, and he only hustles more on the floor to grab rebounds and play defense. Butler is known as a fitness monster in the league and he was able to have enough energy to play against each other in every game. In the playoff’s, he focused on defending James’ peak, playing 48 minutes in consecutive games. In recent years, he has gotten his looks under control so well that in four consecutive seasons with the Bulls, the average playing time per game in the playoffs was around 40 minutes, and only Butler was able to meet Thibodeau’s demands.

 

Compared to Leonard, Butler is slightly worse defensively, but his range is too strong. This is incomparable to Leonard. In addition to being able to defend the outside, Butler can also grab rebounds and do a good job of protecting them, all while winning 6.6 rebounds per game this season, including 1.8 frontcourt rebounds. With no height and arm strength, Butler relies on his brain and effort to grab more rebounds. However Butler is not good at rebounding or interior defense, and the closer he gets to the three second box, the less effective he becomes. His body affects his ceiling, not everyone can do one defense five, which is the main reason why he can’t get stronger defensively.

All-around scorer

The original Butler was not a great offensive player, he started with defense and focused on shutting down the opponent’s key players. However Butler is really good offensively and he is one of the few stars in the league who can integrate offense and defense. Butler’s offense has declined this season, but he is still guaranteed 20.2 points per game, and he has scored 20 points per game for six straight seasons in his career, and his 53 points per game are insane performances.

Jimmy Butler Jersey

There are many different ways to score Butler, who not only has great breakout ability, but also a balanced shooting ability. He can do more damage to the opponent both from the outside and from mid-range, but Butler’s scoring also has the characteristic that he is not a particularly good three-point shooter. When he hits more than 3, he wants to score 3 total points.

Butler is a new change of pace, as he is starting to focus more on rest and being more with his teammates when playing close to the line in the regular season. He also likes to use his brain to score, such as fouling, which is his favorite way to score, and he is getting 9.1 free throws per game this season. He has also developed his organizational skills and passing ability. As the most used player on the team, Butler needs to control the ball more, and he passes to Adebayor 15 times per game. His assist rate of 29.1 percent is on par with Dragic’s, and in such a shift Butler is providing 6.1 assists per game, the highest of his career.

Butler’s conversion doesn’t mean he completely sacrificed his points, in fact he just put in more effort in the most crucial moments. He scored key moments and a whopping 3.3 points, which ranked seventh in the league, and he remains the team’s most trusted top scorer. He just hasn’t played in the regular season yet. In the past, Butler played hard in the regular season, which affected his efficiency in the playoffs, and now the Heat’s team basketball is so effective that he doesn’t have to be so tired in the regular season.

Butler this battle to create a number of records than the shoulders of King James Jordan

The 2020 season Heat defeated the Lakers 115-104 to win Game 3 of the finals. The number one contributor to the Heat’s win was undoubtedly Jimmy Butler, who scored 40 points and 11 rebounds plus 13 assists. Butler not only led the team to win the game, but also set a number of records.

Jimmy Butler Heat 2020-21 Association Edition Jersey

First of all, it was the first time in his career that he had a triple-double in the playoffs. The only players who have scored 40 points plus a triple-double in a single game on the Finals stage were Jerry West and LeBron James. It is worth mentioning that Butler is the first player in NBA history to score 40 points plus a triple-double on the Finals stage and lead his team to win the final game.

#22 Jimmy Butler Heat Icon Edition 

In addition, Butler was able to contribute 29.3 points, 7 rebounds and 10.3 assists per game after his first three career Finals games, shooting 58% from the field, 40% from three and 90.3% from the free throw line. In NBA history, Butler is only the second player to be able to put up such numbers in his first three career Finals games, the other being Michael Jordan.

Not only that, Butler also became the second player in Heat history to record a triple-double in the Finals, the first being James (4). He is also the first player in nearly 51 years to score at least 40 points and 12 assists in a single game in the Finals, the last being West on May 6, 1969.

Meanwhile, Butler became the third player in Finals history to slash 40+ on 70%+ shooting, with the first two being Chamberlain (May 7, 1970) and Irving (June 14, 2016). It is worth mentioning that Butler also became the first player in Finals history to slash 40+ triple-doubles on 70% shooting.

The game, Butler’s own points and assists to teammates combined to 73 points, this data can also be in the NBA Finals history of the second place. In the matchup with LeBron, Butler didn’t fall short either. Butler even finished the finals single game scoring, rebounding, and assists for James in the three data, completed the full surroundings. In LeBron’s career, this is the first time he encountered such a situation in the finals.

So after the game, the emperor also said when evaluating Butler’s performance: “I like playing against him, he is one of the most competitive players in basketball. I don’t know how many more chances I’ll have against such a strong competitor.”

Butler then responded to James by saying, “I feel like he’s made me give it my all too many times.”

Butler advances to the finals wearing a Spur University jersey

administrator

The 2020 season Heat eliminated the Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals with a total score of 4-2, advancing to the finals, the Heat took the Eastern Conference championship, the whole team is very happy to know that the Heat team is not considered talented without the top five players, the highest draft pick is veteran Iguodala, he is the 9th pick in the first round. Duncan Robinson, Jones Jr. and others are fallen draft picks, Crowder and Dragic are not even first round picks, Butler is the 30th pick, and 13th overall rookie Hilo is a high draft pick on the Heat. So, such a situation that the Heat can play in the finals is called a miracle is not too much.

After the post-game celebration Butler started his rah-rah behavior again, he wore a special jersey to meet with the owner and teammates, it turned out that this jersey is the jersey of Spo master in college, Spo master was also very happy after seeing Butler wearing his jersey, the two high-fived together to salute, this moment was also posted by the Heat on the official social media.

This is not the first time Butler wore the jersey of a merit badge. In the G4 game of the Eastern Conference, Butler did not perform very well, but the rookie Heero stepped up to cut 37 points and 6 assists to lead the team to a valuable victory. Soon Butler was wearing Heero’s high school No. 14 jersey for bragging rights and walking with a comical look.

This time Butler again put on the skipper Spo’s uniform, to know that Spo skipper college period is in the University of Portland to play, he in the four years of college as the team’s starting organizational guards averaged 9.2 points, 4.4 assists and 2.4 rebounds, and was named the West Coast Division’s Rookie of the Year, into the 1,000-point club. It can be said that Spo was also a very famous player in college, but unfortunately his future career as a player did not go very well, but the early start of his career Spo became a legend in the coaching position, this time into the finals, Spo also became the sixth man in NBA history with 5 times to lead the team to the finals, alongside Cole and others.

In fact, from this point on you can see how united this Heat is, the atmosphere within the team is still very harmonious, plus the team does not have the “Chosen One” high pick players, they know more to hold together to play team to hope for success, so we see the full blossom of Adebayor, Robinson, Butler, Hilo and others. I also hope that the next finals, the more unpopular Heat can be good luck.

Butler’s first finals tied with James for first in NBA history

Jimmy Butler proved his toughness once again, leading the Heat to beat the Lakers again almost by himself with Dragic still not back and Adebayor not finding his form, bringing the big score to 2-3 and postponing the ready championship presentation. How strong is Butler? The first time in his career to participate in the finals, he has a data with LeBron James tied for the first in NBA history!

#22 Jimmy Butler Heat Jersey

Although Butler led the Heat to beat the Lakers in G3 of the finals, the Heat still defeated the Lakers in G4 despite the comeback of Adebayor to make many people think the series will end in G5, especially in the case of Dragic still not ready to come back, many people even before the start of G5 have begun to long for LeBron James’ championship speech. But, once again, Butler came out and said no.

#22 Jimmy Butler Heat Jersey & #3 James Bryant Lakers Jersey

On a night when James scored 40 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists on 71.4% shooting, Davis also scored 28 points and 12 rebounds on 60% shooting, and even Pop scored 16 points, Dragic was not back and Adebayor only scored 13 points and 4 rebounds in 38 minutes of playing time, but it was the Heat who had the last laugh. This is certainly related to the excellent performance of the Heat’s shooting group led by Duncan Robinson, but in this game the Heat still had no advantage in front of the Lakers in terms of three-point shooting, and the Heat beat the Lakers again for only one reason, and that was Butler.

A lot of people were marveling at James’ efficient and comprehensive performance in this game, but Butler’s performance was also very good. In such a high-intensity battle of survival, Butler only rested for a total of 48 seconds, hit 11 out of 19 shots, shooting 57.9%, such offensive efficiency for a core guard is already very high, and he also got the highest 12 free throw opportunities and hit all of them, got 35 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 5 steals and a cap of Triple-double stats, only 3 turnovers and 2 fouls, assists and steals were the highest in the game.

#22 Jimmy Butler Heat 2020-21 Association Edition Jersey

This is not Butler’s first 35+ triple-double in this finals, he got 40 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists on 70% shooting in the finals G3, becoming the first player in the history of the Heat to get 35+ triple-doubles in a single game in the finals, achieving a feat that was not achieved by LeBron James who reigned as the Finals MVP in the Heat. Now, Butler has got 35+ triple-double for the second time in this series, the only player to have gotten a triple-double in this finals so far.

How hard is it to get a 35+ triple-double in a single game in the Finals? In the long history of the NBA before this season only a total of four times to accomplish such a feat, the first is the 1969 finals in the seventh game Jerry West got 42 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, the second by James Worthy in the 1988 finals in the seventh game, the other two belong to LeBron James, in 2015 in the G2 and G5 are picked up such numbers. In other words, today’s Butler is already tied with James for first place in NBA history in terms of 35+ triple-doubles in the Finals! This is only Butler’s first trip to the Finals!

These numbers show how tough Butler is when he is “alone”. At that time, Butler’s task was not over yet, his Heat was still down 2-3, in G6 the Heat still faced a huge pressure of “renew or go home”, but two wins should give the Heat’s young players some confidence, Davis’s injury is also a huge advantage for the Heat, Butler can lead the Heat to repeat the story of 2016. Can Butler lead the Heat to repeat the 2016 Cavaliers’ story?

4 Battles to make 240 points in the NBA history —— Jimmy Butler

administrator

Jimmy Butler achieved a perfect upgrade in the Finals, as if he became another person, he attacked, organized and defended all at once, playing basketball in the mode of James. This is Butler’s first time in the finals and it’s surprising to see such a crazy outburst.

Heat 2020-21 Association Edition Jersey

Jimmy Butler inadvertently made history again, scoring and converting assists to score a cumulative total of 240 points in the past four Finals games, which equates to an average of 60 points per game. In NBA Finals history, Butler’s four consecutive games of manufactured scoring totals rank second all-time, behind only James in the 2017 Finals.

King James had a record-breaking run of 4 consecutive games in the Finals that year, producing a total of 245 points. Michael Jordan produced 239 points in 4 games in the 1993 Finals to rank third all-time in current history, 1 point behind Jimmy Butler.

The crazy Jimmy Butler averaged 29.0 points, 8.6 rebounds and 10.2 assists in 5 games in the Finals, which greatly surpassed his regular season level.

Lakers Balck Mamba Jersey & Heat Home Jersey

Butler averaged 19.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 6.0 assists in the regular season, he doesn’t care about his personal stats, he just wants to help his team win.

In the first game of the finals this year, Butler got 23 points and 5 assists, which was his worst game in the finals stats. With Dragic out injured, Butler took on more offensive organizing duties from the second game of the finals, and he had a wild outburst.

In the past four games, Jimmy Butler averaged 30.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, 11.5 assists, 2.8 steals and 1.0 caps, which is a completely James-style finals performance.

James averaged 31.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 8.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.8 caps in the last 4 finals. The two superstars are very close to the 5 basic data contest, King James score and rebounding advantage, but the other 3 are at a disadvantage.

The Lakers really can’t guard Jimmy Butler? Vogel used the Brow to defend Butler in the fourth game of the finals and it worked. But in the fifth game, the Brow defense Butler failure, of course, one of the reasons is the Brow right heel injury, walking after the game are limping, single defense Butler natural effect is not good – Butler in front of him 10 shots 6.

#3 Davis Lakers jersey & #22 Jimmy Butler Heat Jersey

Lakers defending Butler became a problem, if the package Butler, the Heat shooters will have a lot of openings, Duncan Robinson, Crowder and Hilo can be super shooters.

But the trend now is that the Lakers must limit Butler’s play, or the team will have difficulty winning games. In the fourth game of the finals, the Lakers did not let Butler hit a triple-double to win the game. The two games the Heat won, Butler hit a triple-double. Finals G6, Vogel needs to come up with new tricks to limit Butler.

If the Browns don’t recover enough from their right foot, the Lakers main defense Butler needs to be replaced and maybe James main defense. The Lakers also have to wrap Butler when appropriate, after all, he is the Heat offensive launch point. The most important thing is that the Lakers will have to sink their teeth into it and really play tight defense, not like the fifth game so as to give the Heat players many easy scoring opportunities.

Butler reveals jersey number story: For those who have inspired me

administrator

Miami Heat All-Star forward Jimmy Butler shared the story of his jersey number in a recent interview.

#22 Jimmy Butler Heat 2021-22 City Edition Jersey

 

Jimmy Butler now wears No. 22 with the Heat in honor of former teammate Tye Gibson, “He was one of the toughest teammates of my career and he taught me a lot about how to be a professional player. Sometimes people choose jersey numbers to inspire themselves, and Tye Gibson was one of those guys.” Butler was teammates with Gibson from 2011-2017 with the Bulls, and the two reunited with the Timberwolves during the 2017-18 season and early last season. Jimmy Butler has worn No. 21 since entering the league, while Taj Gibson wore No. 22 during their time together.

“I wore No. 33 at Marquette, and in high school I wore No. 1 because of Maddie. My best friend wore No. 33, he’s my brother and lives with me. His family has always helped me grow up and I’m grateful for that, so I chose my friend’s mom’s favorite player Larry Bird’s No. 33 jersey.”

“I chose No. 21 in Chicago because I was drafted 21st overall. I played with a guy named Joe Foles in college and he wore No. 21. Without him, I wouldn’t have made it to the league.”

#22 Jimmy Butler Heat Jersey

“I wore No. 23 in Minnesota because I was in the Jordan Brand family at the time. I didn’t mean to compare myself to Jordan in any way, but I think Jordan wore No. 23 once in Chicago and then he left for another team. And I left from Chicago, so I thought I should try wearing No. 23 NBA jersey.”

Butler, who has found a home in Miami after stints in Chicago, Minnesota and Philadelphia, averaged 20.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game in 19-20 before entering a lockout in which the All-Star helped the Heat finish fourth in the East with 41 wins and 24 losses.

What is Butler’s strength?

administrator

The Heat’s Jimmy Butler, known as the league’s “tough guy”, is not only tough, his character is also vicious, full of a defiant energy. The previous “fight” with Jokic was a big deal, and later in the game “dislike” the team’s head coach caused controversy, many fans once listed him as the team’s number one “prick The team’s top “prick” was once listed by many fans.

Heat Association Edition Jersey

A while ago, there were many rumors about Butler’s trade, mainly because of his “irrational” behavior. This season’s regular season, the Heat’s record is high in the East first, Butler although the data performance is not bad, averaging 21.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.7 steals, but three-point shooting rate of only 23%, a career low.

#22 Jimmy Butler Heat Jersey

So, what exactly is Butler’s strength? In fact, the playoffs are the real stage to test a “tough guy” like Butler. Butler’s performance in the regular season has been moderate, once the playoffs, he played very tough, whether it is to take the Timberwolves to the playoffs, or to join the Heat in the first year to lead the team to the finals, are enough to show Butler’s real strength.

#22 Jimmy Butler Heat 2020-21 Association Edition Jersey

Although previously suffering from a lot of controversy, Butler still showed the team’s core temperament when the playoffs really came. In the G2 game against the Eagles, Butler played 39 minutes, shooting 15 of 25, cutting 45 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 0 turnovers, 0 fouls, such a “superb” performance almost let the opponent completely “suffocated”.

Heat 2020-21 Association Edition Jersey

It’s no exaggeration to say that Butler has always been an underrated player in the league. He looks so inconspicuous at times, but actually contributes a lot to a team, which is why the Heat are willing to extend him early.

In the summer of 2019, Butler signed a 4-year, $142 million contract, and then renewed his contract with the Heat early in the summer of 2021 for 3 years and $146 million, so that the 33-year-old Butler is actually holding a big 4-year, $184 million contract, totaling more than RMB 1.1 billion. The contract takes effect next season and expires in the summer of 2026.

In addition to making a name for himself and his price, Butler is also very happy off the court. Although he is a “prick” on the court, but his private life is very low-key, even many fans do not know that he has an innocent girlfriend to accompany. The “mysterious” girlfriend of Butler has given birth to a daughter for him, and the two have a very sweet relationship. I believe many fans did not expect that “tough guy” Butler has such a spontaneous side.

He is still one of the best players in the history of the Heat, and in 2016, his No. 32 jersey was retired by the Heat.

  1. Chris Bosh

Bosh played in the Heat for 6 years, during which his sacrifice and pay, everyone is visible, as long as he is given enough rights, an average of 20 + 10 data is not a problem, the need for defense when Bosh can stand out, the key moment of the offense is never soft, the final moment of the final for Green “death cover”, now Still fresh in my mind, the biggest sacrifice in the Big Three is him, 2019, the Heat retired his No. 1 jersey.

  1. Mourning

After a bad time in Charlotte, Miami and Riley welcome Mourning with open arms, his arrival also makes the Heat really become a force to be reckoned with in the NBA, in Mourning’s Heat period, he was selected as an All-Star five times, twice elected the best defensive player, but also the best lineup and the best defensive lineup of regulars, but at this time he encountered two major roadblocks, one is Jordan’s Bulls, one is kidney disease, Mourning and Riley’s dynasty The dream is always a mirror, his No. 33 jersey was retired in 2009.

Heat Jersey

February 23, 2020, the 2019-20 NBA regular season is in full swing. The Heat hosted the Cavaliers in today’s marquee battle in the East. During halftime of the game, the Heat held a No. 3 NBA jersey retirement ceremony for the team’s all-time legendary superstar Wade. During his time with the Heat, Wade led the Heat to the Finals five times, won the title three times and was elected FMVP once, while Wade is also the team’s all-time scoring leader and assists leader. In this way, Wade’s No. 3 jersey also became the sixth retired jersey in the history of the Heat. The previous 5 people had 4 Heat celebrities, respectively: Tim Hardaway, Mourning, O’Neal, Bosh.

So the question arises, who is the other retired jersey of the Heat? He is the great Michael Jordan. As we all know, Jordan is recognized as the first person in the history of the NBA. Jordan has played for the Bulls and Wizards in his career, won the NBA championship 6 times, was elected FMVP 6 times, was elected regular season MVP 5 times, 10 times NBA scoring champion, and 1 time NBA best defensive player. Whether it is honor or legendary, Jordan’s greatness cannot be surpassed. So here’s the question: Jordan never played for the Heat, so why did the Heat retire his No. 23 jersey?

In the 2002-03 season, Jordan celebrated his final season. During Jordan’s last visit to the American Airlines Center, the Heat held a jersey retirement ceremony for Jordan’s number 23 jersey. Pat Riley, who was the Heat’s general manager at the time, said, “In appreciation of your great accomplishments and impact not only in the NBA, but around the world, we decided to hang up the No. 23 jersey and no one will ever wear No. 23 in Miami again.” The Heat’s move to retire the jersey of a player who never played for the home team also set a precedent in NBA history, and no player or team has ever been able to do so again.

It is worth mentioning that in the summer of 2010, another great No. 23 player in NBA history joined the Heat, and he was LeBron James. As Jordan’s No. 23 jersey had been retired by the Heat, James had to choose his equally favorite No. 6 jersey. After that James had advocated that the entire league retire Jordan’s No. 23 jersey, but this suggestion was not adopted. After James left the Heat in 2014, James switched back to wearing the No. 23 jersey.

In addition, the Heat retired the No. 3 jersey of NFL Miami Dolphins legend Dan Marino. As a local Miami superstar, Marino is very influential. It is worth mentioning that after retiring the No. 3 jersey for Wade today, the Heat may also retire Haslem’s No. 40 jersey and James’ No. 6 jersey in the future.
