The Miami Heat have had one of the greatest postseason runs in NBA History. Winning a Championship will solidify them as the best underdog team of all time led by Jimmy Butler

[jamalwatson]

Pat Riley heard Jimmy beating Timberwolves starters with 3rd Stringers and decided to make a team around the concept.

Im scared of Jimmy getting hate if he loses the finals. Getting a 8th seed team that far is enough to acknowledge his greatness...

This right here is the reason why I fell in love with the Miami Heat. This Heat Culture, that people keep talking about...It's something that you rarely see in sports nowadays. You see it in some players (such as Tom Brady in NFL for example, with his work ethic even in old age), but you never see it in an entire organization. And no matter the result in this Finals, the Heat Culture will continue to prevail.

This is a real 8th seed too. Full 82 game season, no big trades, and struggled all year until the playoffs where they turned it all the way up. Greatest underdog story in sports history, if they win.

Riley finding and mentoring Erik Spoelstra is one of the best moves in NBA history. Tonight marks his 6th visit to the finals…that puts him up there with some pretty rare company. His rise from “video guy” to NBA champion is unprecedented.

underestimated for sure.. everyone was convinced it'd be Milwaukee, Boston, or Philly in the finals.. but the HEAT have a superstar, role players that are dawgs, the best coach in the NBA, and a great culture.. it'll be tough to beat Denver but it wouldn't shock me if they beat Denver and win the chip 💯

I'm a huge celtics fan, even went to game two, never understood why the heat were able to do what they did. Thank you, I can finally understand why they were the better team

[bryanmoore]

As a bulls fan I’m so happy for Jimmy and the Miami heat. I will be cheering for the heat in the finals!

[al-nur]

If they manage to win it all, this Miami Heat run deserves a movie

[egseven]

Man spo is the definition of hardwork, dedication and sacrifice and consistency and saying yes!I can learn a lot.

[Mamba]

This is one of the most inspirational videos I have ever seen. A must share!! Thank you for making this!

[iAmMarcellus]

I want Himmy Butler to win so bad. My guy deserves a ring. He isn’t a legend yet, but I know he will be. Or at least I want him to be.

[captain]

Nuggets maybe the overwhelming favourites, and they have jokic and murray . But damn im rooting for my heat, we have beat the 2 best teams of the season already, we can do this.

[bakerboy]

I could listen to this man's voice all day.

[drakevick]

All I’mma say is that if Jimmy wins a ring, we’re gonna need to have some uncomfortable conversations…




Also, if they do win it all, it’s the greatest ring of all time, surpassing Dirk’s in terms of underdog-ness and level of difficulty

[toad]

So much respect for the heat, the epitome of hard work

[ab]

If my Heat win the finals. This would be the greatest underdog story in NBA history. We weren’t favored in any series. Maybe knicks. And we had 4 undrafted players playing key roles.

[greginnisjr]

All I can think about is 2 years ago of him hunched over.. also last year when we was 2 more inches away from playing Golden State. The injuries all season, the doubt from all the writes & spokespeople. Wasnt we “supposed” to be out aganist Milwaukee? Get swept? Y’all saying the same exact thing now aganist Denver. We been doubted all year, it’s okay keep doubting. Let’s Go Heat!

AWESOME VIDEO! If you guys can make more of these types of breakdowns of organizations and teams, I’ll watch every one of them.
