I hate the Queen more than you do...... and I know how much of a sacrifice Wade/Bosh made so that Lebron can be the "centerpiece" and get all the credit for MVP's and stuff.

but Lebron is going to go down as a top 10 player of all time, and he won 2 rings in a Heat uniform. His first two. He had more success with Miami than he did with Cleveland.

So unfortuntately, as much as I hate Lebron, he has to get a statue. It gives the Miami franchise a bit more respect and shine to have all time greats having played here and won rings.

Dwyane Wade, Alonzo Mourning, Udonis Haslem, Pat Riley, Erik Spoelstra (eventually), and (honestly) The Big Three.

Wade & Riley shouldn't even be in the conversation.

Statues are legendary. Who in the Miami Heat history is legendary? Like most in here agree, Pat Riley. Wade you can make a case but I am not 100% convinced. Everyone else, a jersey retirement should suffice.

1. Pat Riley

2. Alonzo Mourning (he finally did help us win a ring in 2006)

3. Wade

4. Lebron (even though i hate him, he deserves one, as he has 2 Finals MVPs in a heat uni)

5. Shaq? I say no.... but...... maybe.

that's it. Shaq doesn't get one cause he was only a hired mercenary and won only 1 title, and Wade was the one with the historic performance and Finals MVP.

But I guess if you want to create more "shine" for the Heat franchise, like the Lakers do by adding a Wayne Gretzky statue to the Staples Center..... then I guess you could give Shaq one.


Or we could put an MJ statues instead of retiring #23...LOL :lol:

You're welcome LeBron.

Tyler Herro is a TURD.
Bam is NOT elite but is getting better.
Fire Spoelstra!
Josh Heupel is coming for you.
