States. The team is a member of the Southeast Division in the Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). They play their home games at the American Airlines Arena in Downtown Miami. The team owner is Micky Arison, the President is Pat Riley, and the head coach is Erik Spoelstra. The mascot of the team is Burnie, an anthropomorphic fireball.
The Heat were formed as part of the NBA's plan to expand the league in the late 1980s with four expansion franchises, which included the Heat along with Charlotte Hornets in 1988, and the Orlando Magic and Minnesota Timberwolves in 1989. Among those four teams, Miami has been the most successful, winning over 1000 games to date[when?], making 17 playoff appearances, and winning ten division titles, three conference titles and two NBA championships. The Heat defeated the Dallas Mavericks in the 2006 NBA Finals 4–2, lost to the Mavericks 4–2 in the 2011 NBA Finals and beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 4–1 in the 2012 NBA Finals. According to Forbes, as of 2013, the Heat ranked sixth in terms of NBA franchise value at $625 million. The Heat are not related to the former Miami ABA franchise from the early 1970s, the Miami Floridians. The Heat has however paid tribute to the Floridians franchise in the past by wearing a replica version of the Floridians home and away uniforms for the NBA's "Hardwood Classics Nights" for the 2005–06 and 2011–12 seasons.
