Dan Majerle was a consistent swingman for the Heat who made his mark during the franchise’s first successful era in the late 90’s.

He played different roles over the years, whether that was coming off of the bench or starting at small forward and shooting guard during his Heat tenure. Known for his ability to shoot the three and play tough defense, “Thunder Dan” averaged 10.8 points per game during the 1996-97 season, when Miami won 61 games.

Majerle will always be a beloved figure in Heat lore due to his role in bringing four straight division titles to South Beach.
