Year You Became a Fan: 2004

 

Why You Became a Fan: Back when I lived in Caly, I used to be a bit of a Lakers fan. I never really watched basketball all that much at the time. I moved to Florida for family reasons and I heard that Shaq moved from L.A. to the Heat. I started watching a few Heat games on the local channel and soon after I fell in love with the team. Been a fan ever since.

 

Favorite Heat Player, All-Time: Dorell Wright. I've loved this guy's game ever since I first saw him play. His abilities are very underrated even by his own team. I hope that this year he will finally get the minutes he deserves. If ever given the PT, he could potentially become a top 10 SF in the league. Next on my list of faves I'd say is Udonis Haslem, Dwyane Wade, then Daequan Cook.

 

Favorite Heat Coach, All-Time: A tie between Eric Spoelstra and Pat Riley.

 

Favorite Heat Moment: When Wade threw the ball in the air to capture the moment of finally winning the NBA Championship.

 

Amount of Heat Games Attended: About 5 or 6.

Might as well make this my first post on the new site.

 

Year You Became a Fan: 2002-2003 maybe. It was the year before the arrival of Dwyane Wade and I had sorta started to latch onto the team because of their tough play and personality, plus I had always been a fan of two big men, 'Zo & KG.

 

Why You Became a Fan:

I remember reading and seeing pictures about Eddie House, Brian Grant, Rasual Butler, and watching and reading highlights about Eddie Jones and Alonzo Mourning especially as a kid, both of whom were beasts at the time. I had already been a fan of 'Zo & KG at the time, so naturally I followed both their teams, they both played with so much heart. The Heat drafted DWade the next season and the rest is history...I remember they made a push with Odom, Butler, and Alston Wade & Haslem's rookie year, but once Shaq and Damon Jones joined the team, it was just a real fun team, the team really developed a true personality and they were all fun dudes. I remember reading about all their crazy stories. Was pretty disappointed when SVG couldn't bring the Heat all the way home, but he did a great job...Riles came down and finished the job after all, with GP, White Chocolate, 'Toine, and 'Zo all together. Not to mention the hard-working Haslem, and Posey was insurmountable during the Finals as well. DWade's performance is definitely what sealed for me the fact I'd be a Heat fan forever. After that, seeing us get swept by a lowly Bulls team and then go 15-67 was hard to stomach, but I guess it all paid off. ;)

 

Favorite Heat Player, All-Time:

Dwyane Wade / Alonzo Mourning / Udonis Haslem - one of the most loyal Heat players ever... under-appreciated

 

Favorite Heat Coach, All-Time:

Pat Riley, he embellishes this franchise, then SVG and we'll see how Erik Spoelstra proves himself here. He's done a good job getting to the playoffs the last two years now.

 

Favorite Heat Moment:

2006 Playoff run...pretty self-explanatory...but it was amazing watching all those veterans get that ring. It was great.

 

Amount of Heat Games Attended:

4-5 maybe. Live in Atlanta so I don't get to see them all the time but I try to go to a Heat/Hawks matchup at least once or twice during the season. Always root for the Heat and have been the past couple of year, many fights with local Hawks fans haha.

Why You Became a Fan: The first NBA game I watched was a Heat-76ers game and I fell in love with Brian Grant's game. I have followed the Heat since then.

 

Favorite Heat Player, All-Time: Brian Grant, Alonzo Mourning would be a close 2nd

 

Favorite Heat Coach, All-Time: Pat Riley

 

Favorite Heat Moment: 2006 Championship, too bad I was out of the country at the time and wasn't able to watch the series, but I was able to keep up with the games and see who won.

 

Amount of Heat Games Attended: 0, haven't attended one NBA game. Don't really live near a NBA city.
