Miami Heat is the best by a long shot. It's the players that make this team shine every year. With LeBron's dunks, shots, and defense. Wade's passes, blocks, and nice layups. Bosh's defense and penetration. Allen's threes. Chalmers' point guard skills - the rest are just the best there is. I'm a Heat fan, and we won two back-to-back championships.
