Miami Heat: Some of this team’s success rooted in how strong their bond is
The Miami Heat are always a team that plays hard and for one another. This year’s team, however, adds a little extra something to that notion.
The Miami Heat are, of course, known for their culture. Loosely defined, but by all accounts and what we have seen over the years, that means buying all the way in, sacrificing parts of yourself for the greater good, and doing everything in your individual power as a player to help ensure the best result for the team.
Aside from the hard work, no-nonsense, never loaf mentality, that is what the Miami Heat culture stands for. With that fact in mind, it is no wonder why they always compete so hard, play until the whistle blows, and find themselves competing with teams that are extremely more talented. It’s just in the ball club’s DNA and once you put on that laundry, it becomes a part of yours or you aren’t there long.

The Miami Heat will always compete, it’s just apart of ‘the culture’. When you think about how close they are to one another though, beating them becomes just that much harder.
That’s some serious team bonding. Heck, that’s a serious team bond.
None of it surprises us though, actually. When you think about the mentalities of some of the players on this team, it makes complete sense.
