    Are you fucking serious?

    A professional sports team won 27 straight games. That is something (normal) sports fans will remember for a long time.

      I say it will be remembered but followed by how they should have won that many with the squad they had. Outside of Houston, not many talked about their winning streak and that team were not as good and lost Yao during the streak.

        Team USA would have a terribly difficult time trying to win 27. No one should ever be expected to go on streaks like this.

          Part of the issue with the Houston streak was that they didn't have any superstars involved and the team really wasn't that good to begin with. Miami is a rock star team that should continue such success for a while. It will be a part of not only the team's legacy, but more importantly James/Wade's, which will allow it to live on.

            This was the second longest win streak in American professional sport history... it's historic by every definition of the word.
