Goran Dragic of the Miami Heat did an interview recently where the subject of “trash talking” came up. That inspired us to take it to another level.
The Miami Heat are an organization that is lauded, loved, and lambasted all at the same time for what Heat Faithful have come to know as Heat Culture. While this phrase and rally cry can mean a plethora of things, a few of the things it stands for are hard work, determination, and gutsiness.
Want to know something else it stands for? Physicality and an attitude that we will not be bullied, pushed around, made to look soft, or rolled over. That is something that secretes from the pores of every member of the organization, from the very top with Micky Arison and Pat Riley, to the last member of the bench, and all the way down to the towel and water boys or girls.
This is likely what helped urged them to bring in Goran Dragic back in the 2014-15 season, the gutsiness and strong-willed mentality he has displayed throughout his time in the NBA. This quality shines through not only in his play and his willingness to play through most things, but also and of course in his smack talk. Dragic actually did an interview alongside Brendan Tobin and Leroy Hoard of South Florida’s 790 The Ticket where his trash talking was the very subject at hand.

After seeing this footage, that really started us to thinking, who are three members of this Miami Heat team that would be most likely to mix it up? The answers probably won’t shock you, but we’ll go through them anyway.
