Miami Heat Go From ‘Hated Super Team’ To ‘No One Believes In Us’
By Eric Fritts
My, how the times have changed for the Miami Heat. It’s easy to recall being in San Antonio, circa 2014, and hearing people talk about the Miami Heat like they were the devil incarnate of basketball.
The consensus was that the rules didn’t apply to them because they were a big market.
“They got more calls because of their stars. The media only talks about the Heat, what about us” were the typical complaints coming out of other fan bases.
Some were valid and some were not, but that’s not really important anymore.

What I want to talk about is that, somehow, that narrative has completely flipped, and in a matter of just fewer than ten years.
The Heat were that super team. They had the best players in the game come together to dominate.
They won two rings along the way, it was a good run, and naturally, good runs generate haters. Opposing fans complained that the media talked about the Heat and one particular player, far too much.
And that’s pretty normal but now, it’s totally different.
