* During the 2004–2005 season, the Heat’s roster contained the first three players selected in the 1992 NBA Draft, the first time ever for any NBA team in the case of any draft:
o Shaquille O’Neal (1st overall selection of the Orlando Magic)
o Alonzo Mourning (2nd overall selection of the Charlotte Hornets)
+ O’Neal and Mourning were also teammates on the Heat’s 2005-2006 NBA Championship team, with O’Neal generally starting at center with Mourning as his backup.
o Christian Laettner (3rd overall selection of the Minnesota Timberwolves)
* Further, at various points over the 14 years since the 1992 NBA Draft, Miami has had 9 out of the first 12 players selected in that draft on their roster: O’Neal (2004—present), Mourning (1995–2003, 2005- present), Laettner (2004–05) Jim Jackson (2001–02), LaPhonso Ellis (2001–03), Walt Williams (1996), Todd Day (1997–98), Clarence Weatherspoon (1998–2000) and Harold Miner (1992–95).

Shaquille O’Neal has appeared on the NBA 2K series on two consecutive years, on NBA 2K6 and on NBA 2K7.
* The Heat retired Michael Jordan’s number 23 jersey for his contributions to the NBA, even though he never played for them. When first hung, it was half Wizard blue and half Bull red, however it is now an all red Chicago Bulls jersey.
* In the year 2006, not only did the Heat win their first ever NBA Championship, but the organization’s cheerleading/dance team, the Heat Dancers, were the #1 dance team in the NBA as voted by the NBA fans, and one of the Heat Dancers (Layla El) won the WWE Diva Search and is currently on the roster of WWE Friday Night SmackDown! as a result.
* The 2005-2006 basketball season was an especially successful one for the state of Florida, as both the NBA Champions and the NCAA Champions hailed from the same state. The Florida Gators won the NCAA tourney over the UCLA Bruins several months before the Heat won their title.

Whatever.

Go Suns!
