Miami Heat

When people think of the Miami Heat their minds will go to The Three Kings. It makes sense considering Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh ruled the eastern conference for four straight years. Before that, Wade brought the Heat’s first title to Miami after being down to the Dallas Mavericks 4-2 and, before them, Alonzo Mourning and Tim Hardaway were the beasts in the east.

All three eras of the Miami Heat played different. One thing they all share is they were tough to beat and had players that will one day end up in the Basketball Hall of Fame.

Okoye

Okoye has a little bit of all the best Heat teams. She can be finesse and smooth like Dwyane Wade going to the basket. She can do teamwork as well like Heat did with Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh. If she needs to get rough and rugged, you better believe Okoye can can go there too.

Just like the Heat in the 1990’s. However, Okoye may be more like the Heat in the 1990’s the way talks trash. The best part is she can back it up. To underestimate her may cost you your life. Similar to when the Dallas Mavericks took their foot off the gas in the 2006 NBA Finals. Okoye will see an opening and capitalize on it every time.
