The Miami Heat have experienced a ton of unexpected success this season that no one could have seen coming. While many thought that they would struggle to merely be a seventh or eighth seed by the time the NBA playoffs rolled around, they have somehow managed to not only not be a bottom-feeding team, but one of the top teams in the league and Eastern Conference.
Using the word somehow loosely, it’s pretty apparent how they got here. They did it through a ton of hard world, discipline, teamwork, and comradery, but the players themselves have a ton to do with it as well.
