The Miami Heat will have three captains for the first time in nearly 15 years.
For the first time since taking over as head coach in the 2008-09 season, Erik Spoelstra has revised his list of Heat captains. While Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem have served as captains since Spoelstra’s first year, Chris Bosh will join that list this year.
Spoelstra downplayed naming Bosh as a captain, citing that he had already been acting as one recently:
“He already was acting as one, so that was an easy decision and one that basically didn’t need to be stated,” Spoelstra said before Friday night’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers at Quicken Loans Arena.
