The 3-point line was an American Basketball League invention (1961) that the NBA adopted in 1979, yet the league average didn’t break double-digit attempts until the 1994-95 season.
That's a wrap for NBA All Star weekend. The Miami Heat were in the mix, including an All Star game appearance and three point contest showing for Norman Powell, rising stars opportunities for Kel'el Ware and Jahmir Young, and of course the big storyline, Keshad Johnson taking home some hardware in the dunk contest.
The retirement rumors might be surrounding LeBron James at the moment. Just recently, he missed a chance to feature in the All-NBA team after 21 straight years.
The Heat’s season is more than two-thirds complete, and few things have gone according to plan. The big ones are that injuries have ruined their continuity, and the defense is suspect.
The burning trade rumors don’t need oxygen nowadays, just a camera and a superstar within earshot. That’s all it took for Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, someone who has been the subject of rumors throughout the season, to deliver a verdict on his future with the team, as well as a potential future with the Miami Heat.
The NBA is a league built on the backs of its stars. Every now and then, guys in the NBA will raise their play to All-Star level, and sometimes, that run only lasts for one season.
Miami Heat guard Norman Powell completed another personal milestone after playing in his first-ever All-Star Game on Sunday. He suited up for Team World in the mini-tournament, losing both of their assignments in the round robin and failing to advance to the final.
There was one thing Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade wished he did in his Hall of Fame career throughout NBA All-Star Weekend. It involved taking part in the dunk contest at least once.
Keshad Johnson and Damian Lillard won the NBA’s dunk contest and 3-point exhibition, but it was forgettable, and the atmosphere felt like a high school game.
Keshad Johnson of the Miami Heat dunked, danced and defied gravity with a dunk over E-40. Now everyone will know him as the 2026 NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion.
Good players tend to succeed in the NBA. Sometimes, though, they find themselves in terrible situations but still find ways to over-achieve. These are the 20 players who carried the worst NBA teams.
The NBA All-Star Game weekend witnessed Norman Powell receive the loudest cheers. Right in front of his former fanbase via the Los Angeles Clippers. Now with the Miami Heat, Powell came in helping represent the Eastern Conference talent inside the Intuit Dome.
Norman Powell finally gets his moment. And he hopes it’s not a short stay. After entering the league in 2015, Powell will make his first All-Star appearance Sunday, now as a member of the Heat.
Chris Bosh believes the Miami Heat still had championship potential after LeBron James departed in 2014 and said he was motivated to win a title without his former teammate.
The 2025-26 NBA season is creating a buzz among fans with several intense games. Meanwhile, the jaw-dropping trades that occurred at the trade deadline have heightened the excitement.
Norman Powell, who entered the league in 2015, is making his first All-Star appearance on Sunday as a member of the Heat. An unrestricted free agent after the season, Powell is hoping his time in Miami doesn’t end after this season, he told Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald.
Technically, Miami Heat’s second-year center Kel’el Ware will participate in the NBA’s “Rising Stars” game on Friday because he is one of the league’s promising young talents.
Erik Spoelstra strongly believes the Miami Heat are better than their current record. After a strong start to the season, going 14-7 in their first 21 games, the team went 15-20, slipping to the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference standings.
The NBA is starting to get pretty annoyed by tanking, and on Thursday evening announced fines to both the Utah Jazz and Indiana Pacers for recent lineup decisions.
The Miami Heat are once again having a strong defensive campaign under coach Erik Spoelstra, and a big reason for that is their depth at the big-man position, led by Bam Adebayo and Kel’el Ware.
Bam Adebayo scored 27 points and grabbed 14 rebounds as the visiting Miami Heat continued their dominance over the New Orleans Pelicans with a 123-111 victory on Wednesday.
Nobody can deny how great a player Tyler Herro is for the Miami Heat. It's hard to ignore someone who averages 21.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.7 assists on 49.7% shooting and 35.8% from deep, after all.
