Miami Heat's 21st-century core centers on Dwyane Wade, with LeBron James, Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo completing a modern Mount Rushmore. Wade delivered three championships across a 15-year Heat career, compiling 13 All-Star selections, eight All-NBA nods, three All-Defense honors, franchise scoring leader status, Finals MVP, Hall of Fame induction, and inclusion among the NBA's Top 75 players. James' four-year Heat tenure produced the franchise's peak era, back-to-back league MVPs, Finals MVPs and championships. Butler revitalized overachieving rosters after James' departure but failed to secure a title and departed amid controversy. Bleacher Report assembled this 2000–2025 Mount Rushmore list.
Wade delivered all three championships to the franchise during his 15-year Heat career. He was a true superstar that brought leadership both on and off the court on a nightly basis. His stacked individual resume of 13 All-Star appearances, eight-time All-NBA, three-time All-Defense, franchise scoring leader, Finals MVP, Hall of Fame and part of the NBA's Top 75-player club are just a brief overview of what Wade meant to the city of South Florida.
As the dog days of the NBA offseason have been fully underway, it has caused more original content across the national media. And Bleacher Report recently created an interesting Mount Rushmore list of the 21st century (years of 2000-2025) for every organization in the league. Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo were part of BR's Heat Mount Rushmore.
