The Improbable, Inevitable Miami Heat (johnwilmeswords on Miami's cadre of undrafted, overlooked gunslingers, all taking turns having the games of their life as Spoelstra, Jimmy and Bam orchestrate the rest)
In 2017, the Super Bowl was decided by the performance of a career journeyman quarterback who had never started a full season of games. Nick Foles, who went on to be known by a genitalia-referencing nickname, briefly transformed from a run-of-the-mill backup into one of the best field generals on earth.
This isn’t supposed to happen in the NBA. For decades, 50 victories—or, in shortened seasons, their equivalent winning pace—have been a reliable indicator of contendership. The Heat, after winning just 44 times this season, eked into the playoffs after one terrible loss in the play-in bracket against the middling Atlanta Hawks, and then a very narrow win over the oft-floundering Chicago Bulls.
Brains and nerve have never taken a team this far, and the other shoe, their persistent skeptics have been saying, must soon drop. But perhaps it already has, and it’s wrapped around Miami's own fated foot.
