Miami Heat Now Refer To Themselves As "The Heatles"

One of the golden rules of the NBA is that you don't give yourself a nickname unless you earned it.

Well, the Miami Heat recent hot play as of late has the team dubbing themselves with a new nickname.

We get more from The Miami Herald:

The Heat is referring to itself as the ``Heatles'' -- as in the Beatles -- these days because of the large crowds it receives on the road, said James.

``I see we sell out 99.1 percent on the road, so we call ourselves the Heatles off the Beatles, so every time we take our show on the road we bring a great crowd,'' James said.

The obvious question: So who's Paul McCartney and who's John Lennon?

``I knew that was going to be a question,'' James said. ``We're just the Heatles, man.''

Sadly, if we go by the t-shirt, Mike Miller has to be Ringo.
