3 NBA legends you forgot played for the Miami Heat

1. Jerry Stackhouse

Jerry Stackhouse had a long-running career with the NBA that lasted 18 seasons. He was with both the Detroit Pistons and the Dallas Mavericks for five seasons each. Often compared to Michael Jordan when he first entered the league, Stackhouse was known for getting buckets.

Stackhouse ended up playing one season with Jordan later in his career but wished his experience was different (via Joseph Zucker, Bleacher Report).

"“Honestly, I wish I never played in Washington and for a number of reasons. Things were still being run through Michael Jordan. I love [head coach] Doug Collins, but I think that was an opportunity for him to make up for some ill moments that they may have had back in Chicago. So, pretty much everything that Michael wanted to do [we did]. We got off to a pretty good start and he didn’t like the way the offense was running because it was running a little bit more through me. He wanted to get a little more isolations for him on the post, of course, so we had more isolations for him on the post. And it just kind of spiraled in a way that I didn’t enjoy that season at all. The kind of picture I had in my mind of Michael Jordan and the reverence I had for him, I lost a little bit of it during the course of that year.”"

Stackhouse played a long and memorable career with the NBA, and one of his last seasons was played with the Miami Heat. He only played seven games with the Heat, and his run was so brief that he isn’t remembered by many as a Heat player.
