ALL ABOUT THEM HEAT!



Water Ray Allen Jr. was born July 20, 1975 at Castle Air Force Base. He is the son of Flora and Walter Allen Sr. Ray Allen is the third child out of five in his family. Ray Allen is an American professional basketball player who currently is now playing for the Miami Heat. He has played for many different basketball team in his career, which include Milwaukee Bucks, Seattle Supersonics, and Boston Celtics. In college, he played for the University of Connecticut Huskies. Walter is one of the accurate 3 point and free throw shooter in the whole NBA. 

In the first round pick of the 1996 draft class, Ray Allen was selected fifth into the NBA. Right after getting drafted to the Minnesota Timberwolves Ray Allen and Andrew Lang were put on Milwaukee Bucks for another guy that Minnesota really wanted. He stayed with the Bucks intel the 2002-2003 season after the Bucks he went to the Seattle Super Sonics. Ray Allen was a member of the NBA All-Rookie 2nd Team and during the All-Star weekend, Ray Allen took the 3 point championship. Later on in the season Ray had to have surgery on both of his ankles. 

I think that Ray Allen is the best three point shooter so far. The only one that comes close to be so good is Stephan Curry. Curry had already broke other guys record in three pointers. What I think is going to happen is that once Ray Allen retires, Stephan Curry will catch Ray's most three pointers and break his record. I like watching both Ray Allen and Stephan Curry because they are both very good at shooting. When I grew up, I want to be as good or even better than those's two. 

The 2004-2005 season Allen signed a 5 year extension for $80 million with the Seattle Super Sonics. In April 2006, Ray Allen moved into second place for most three in the NBA trailing Reggie Miller who was in first for most three's. In April 19, 2006, Ray Allen broke Dennis Scott's ten year old NBA record for most three's made in a season against the Denver Nuggets. Ray Allen scored a career high of 54 points in a single game against the Utah Jazz, which was the second most in Sonics history. 

After playing for the Seattle Super Sonics, Allen got drafted to the Boston Celtics. Allen and Glen Davis were the 35th pick in the 2007 draft. I think that Boston got lucky that they got Ray Allen, but I don't know why he was the 35th pick. Ray Allen was a star on the Boston Celtics playing with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. I think that Ray had his high peak with the Boston Celtics or maybe his passed teams. Watching Ray play with the Miami Heat was not as exciting as watching him play with the Boston Celtics.

Scoring Champion


Wade plays the shooting guard position but also can play point guard. During some of his games you will see him switch up and take point. This does not mean that the other point guard is doing bad or anything, it just means that he wants a break. Most games he does not play point because Wade wants the ball and to take the last shot. In most games that he played, weather it was with Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Bosh or Lebron James he always wanted to take the last shoot. On the last second shoots that Wade did get the ball he made nine out of ten. Even Chris Bosh said that Wade should be the one taking the last shoot.

 Wade is pretty quick on his feet and this makes it difficult for people to guard him. The quickness that Wade has makes it easier for him to get past his opponents and score. His signature move is the one-two step that allows him to cruise past bigger opponents and get fouled while shooting. Wade is one of the best free throw shooter in NBA history. He gets to the free throw consistently and he was ranked number one for the 48 minutes he plays in a game. He is a scoring champion unless he has more injuries. I would love to go to a Miami Heat game even if it was the nose bleed seats.

Wade is best known for the way he drives to the hoop and for his different styles of lay-ups. People always worry about Wade because he drives it to the whole against bigger players and always lands it or gets hurt. Mostly Wade just wants to score and win the game. I think that's every players thought in the NBA is to win games and to win the NBA title. That was my dream growing up as a kid was to play in the NBA but now that I think about it, I really can't because I live on a island. It's really hard to get recognized here to be put in the NBA.

Wade was a member of the 2004 US Olympic team with a couple other stars Lebron James and Carmelo Anthony. The US Olympic team competed in the 2006 FIBA World Championship in Japan and Wade was averaging almost 20 points in the Championship game. Wade was named to the US Men's Basketball National Team from 2006-2008. Also, in the same championship game he was named Co-Captain along with James and Anthony. At the 2008 Olympics, the United States went unbeaten and earned Gold Medals defeating the 2006 World Champion Spain.

In 2009, Wade donated from his foundation to keep the Robbins, Illinois library from getting shut down. Over the past years Wade has down a lot for other people, weather it's for charity or not. I think Wade has done a lot of good in his life. He is not afraid to give up money to people who need it. He gave a lot of money to Hati were the earthquake happened, Wade is just a good person and I look up to him.

Tragil was a big impact in Wade's life because she was the one steering him in the right direction. Later on in Wade's life his mom and dad got a divorce.

     Wade attended Harold L. Richards High School in Oak Lawn. Wade started playing for the school's varsity basketball team. Wade did not acquire that much playing time in his second season at Harold L. Richards High School. The reason why Wade did not get that much playing time in his second year at Harold school was because his stepbrother was the star. 

     Dwayne Wade has established himself to be one of the most well-known and popular player in the league.  Wade had the top selling jerseys in the NBA for almost two year. Entering the league as the fifth pick, Wade was soon to be named All-Rookie and was put into the All-Star games for the last ten years. In Wade's third season as a Miami Heat player, he led the Heat to their first NBA title in franchise history. After the game, Wade was named the 2006 NBA Finals MVP as the Heat beat the Mavericks 4-2.  

      In 2004-2005 season, Shaquille O'Neal was traded from the Los Angeles Laker to the Miami Heat. In the first round of the 2005 playoffs, Wade averaged  27.0 points, 9.0 assists, and 6.0 rebounds in the playoffs. In the playoffs, Wade continued his high level of play with 31.0 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists per game. All the coaches in the league selected Wade to be in the 2005 All-Star game, were he scored 14 points in 24 minutes.

Miami Heat News! :)

                                                               Miami Heat News! :)

      Since, Lebron James made his decision to leave Miami this year, everyone has there eyes on what Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh are going to do. I, myself, am very excited this year to see what the Miami Heat has in store for this coming year. I'm a very big fan of Dwayne Wade and I hope he can come out of his slump that he has been in for the last couple of years. I can't wait to see the Miami Heat play against Lebron James and the Cavaliers. It's going to be an intense year for both teams and I hope the Heat come on top. 

      Lebron James leaving Miami was a huge loss for the Miami Heat. The Miami Heat are not scared because they just signed Luo Deng, who was a member of the Chicago bulls. The Bulls have always been Heat's rivals. For Heat to sign a member of the Chicago Bulls was crazy! Miami Heat have been signing new people to fill in the gap of Lebron James. Heat have signed some big guys for the center and some small forwards. Will this be enough for the Miami Heat to make a good record this year or will they not do as good this year?

      Dwayne Wade has been in a slump for the past couple of years and I hope he can come out of it. The first time Wade entered the NBA was in 2003 and he was the fifth pick. Dwayne Wade has been in the NBA for eleven years. He was won his first NBA title in 2006, were they won the series 4-2.  

     The first team that the Miami Heat play against are the New Orleans Pelicans on October 4,2014 and this is the first game for the record books. I don’t have that much faith in the Miami Heat as I did when Lebron James was still on the team. I do have some faith that they will do well because they signed some new people to the team.


Dwayne Wade just got married last week to his wife Gabrielle Union. Dwayne and Gabrielle got married on August 30, 2014. They spend their honeymoon in a castle hidden in Miami, Florida.  Dwayne Wade has three children who are both his and Gabrielle. That’s were I’m going to hopefully live when I’m older.
