Under the uniforms section there was never a correlation made about the Floridians jersey the temporarily wore.

The Heat wore replicas of the 1970-71 Floridians uniforms for seven dates in 2005-06 as part of the NBA's "Hardwood Classics" program. During these games Heat dancers wore bikinis with white go-go boots like their Floridian predecessors.

Put the necessary hyperlinks in the appropriate places.

2010 - present: Big 3 Era

Am I missing something, or is the entire "The Decision" show and LeBron's signing with the Heat completely missing from this article? There is mention of LeBron predicting a dynasty, but where does it actually mention him signing with the team??

The City uniform should be removed because it is from the 2021-22 season.75.149.78.53 (talk) 17:51, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Head coaches

Under the Head coaches section, this statement is no longer true: "At eleven years, Riley is the longest-tenured head coach in the franchise's history, as well its all-time leader in total wins and games coached." Using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Miami_Heat_head_coaches, https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/spoeler99c.htm, and https://www.nba.com/heat/bio/erik-spoelstra as references, Erik Spoelstra has surpassed Pat Riley as the longest-tenured head coach in franchise history, as well as total wins and games coached for the Heat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DNABeta (talk • contribs) 15:47, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Under the “Head Coaches” section of this article, it states that Pat Riley is the longest-tenured head coach in Miami Heat franchise history, having held that position for roughly 11 years. While this may have been true when the article was authored, current Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra surpassed Riley’s mark in the 2019-2020 NBA season — his 12th as head coach. As of the end of the 2022-2023 season, Spoelstra has been head coach of the Heat for 15 seasons — the current franchise record. 2600:4040:7EE8:9A00:B8C0:2C0:DD4:B53C (talk) 22:52, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
