The Miami HEAT announced today the unveiling of the Top 25 HEAT Players of All-Time, as voted by HEAT fans. HEAT fans were recently invited to log onto HEAT.com and select a 25-player HEAT dream team from the 154 players who have played for the team during its 20-year history.

Six members of the 2006 HEAT championship team are featured on the Top 25 list: Udonis Haslem, a Miami native currently in his fifth season with the HEAT; Alonzo Mourning, who entered the 2007-08 season as the franchise?s all-time leader in points (9,310), rebounds (4,714), blocks (1,583) and games played (568); Shaquille O?Neal, the three-time HEAT All-Star and team?s all-time leader in field-goal percentage (59.9%); James Posey, who started 82 of 138 games during his two-year stint in Miami; Dwyane Wade, who was named 2006 Finals MVP; and Jason Williams, who has averaged 11.6 points and 5.1 assists in his first two seasons in Miami.

The list also features eight players from the 1996-97 HEAT team that won a franchise-best 61 games: Keith Askins, who now serves as an assistant coach on Pat Riley?s staff and retired as the HEAT all-time leader in games played; Bruce Bowen, who was named to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team in 2000-01; P.J. Brown, who earned two NBA All-Defensive Second Team honors in a HEAT uniform; Tim Hardaway, the two-time HEAT All-Star and all-time assist leader (2,867); Voshon Lenard, the former CBA standout who played for the HEAT from 1995-2000; Dan Majerle, who spent five years in Miami and ranks fifth all-time in HEAT history with 414 three-pointers made; Jamal Mashburn, who averaged 15.8 points during his four-year stint in Miami; and Mourning, the first-ever HEAT All-Star who saw five All-Star appearances and two NBA Defensive Player of the Year honors as a member of the HEAT. The eight players were the most from any single team.

Four players from the 1988-89 inaugural team also appeared on the 25-man list: Kevin Edwards, who led the HEAT in scoring during its first season; Grant Long, who played six full seasons with the HEAT and ranks third in team history in total rebounds (3,281); Rony Seikaly, the HEAT first-ever draft pick and all-time double-double leader (221); and Rory Sparrow, who recorded the first points and triple-double in team history. Other early HEAT players include Bimbo Coles, who appeared in 462 games in six-and-a-half seasons in Miami; Sherman Douglas, who averaged 16.4 points in two full seasons with the HEAT; Glen Rice, who averaged 19.3 points from 1989-1995; and Steve Smith, who averaged 14.4 points in 202 games.
