In 2010, the Heat signed reigning league MVP LeBron James and NBA All-Star Chris Bosh, creating the ' Big Three' along with Wade. Riley remained team president, but was replaced as head coach by Erik Spoelstra. After the departure of O'Neal two years later, the team struggled for the remainder of the 2000s. Led by Wade and, following a trade for former NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) Shaquille O'Neal, the Heat won their first NBA title in 2006, after Riley named himself head coach for a second stint. The team also experienced success after drafting Dwyane Wade in 2003. Mourning and Hardaway led the Heat to four consecutive division titles prior to their departures in 20, respectively. Riley constructed the trades for Alonzo Mourning and Tim Hardaway, which propelled the team into playoff contention. After a period of mediocrity, the Heat gained relevance in the mid-1990s when Pat Riley became team president and head coach. The franchise began play in the 1988–89 season as an expansion team. The club plays its home games at Kaseya Center, and has won three NBA championships.
