Success stems from all levels of the Miami Heat's organization, players, coaches, and front office.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra is playing a pivotal role in their accomplishments since his career began. Because of this, he was signed to an eight-year contract extension worth $120-plus million.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported: "Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra’s contract extension includes the most committed coaching money in history: eight years, $120-plus million."

The Heat are hoping for years of success to come by signing Spoelstra to this extension. It expresses their commitment to Spoelstra and their belief in his values.

Spoelstra made his arrival in Miami at 24 years old. He is now a three-time NBA champion who turned 53 in November.

Miami fans are thrilled by the news, with one user using the dollar sign as a clever pun.

"$$$$$PPPPOOOOOOOO"

He holds plenty of accolades in the coaching record books. Perhaps the most impressive is the fourth-most victories with a single team. Multiple championships, a multitude of NBA Finals appearances, and being an assistant coach for Team USA basketball highlight his resume.

“We’ve had incredible stability and consistency over the years,” Spoelstra stated when asked about his longevity with the franchise. “I’ve been very fortunate to work for who I work for.”
