The 2007–08 Miami Heat season was their 20th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA). To commemorate the anniversary, the Heat jerseys bear a XX on the rightmost part. However, the season turned out to be disastrous. Only two seasons removed from winning a championship, the Heat never recovered from winning only eight games in the first two months of the season and finished 15–67, the worst record in the league. Coincidentally, this was the same record the team posted in their inaugural season.
This was Pat Riley's final season as head coach of the Heat. He did, however, remain as team president and was replaced as head coach by Erik Spoelstra the following season.
It was also Alonzo Mourning's & Penny Hardaway’s final season in the NBA as Alonzo had suffered a season-ending and a possibly career-ending knee injury in a December game in Atlanta. After sitting out half of next season, Mourning retired in January. After his retirement, Mourning stayed with the Heat as an executive.
At mid-season in February, Shaquille O'Neal was traded to the Phoenix Suns for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks. Before the trade, the Heat acquired Penny Hardaway, who was O'Neal's teammate with the Orlando Magic from 1993 until 1996. This move reunited the duo. However, Hardaway was waived after a few games with the team and he would never play in the NBA again and officially announced his retirement from basketball after 16 seasons.
Dwyane Wade, after recovering from off-season shoulder and knee surgeries, battled knee injuries and missed the final 21 games of the season after undergoing OssaTron treatment on his left knee. Wade recovered in time to play in the 2008 Summer Olympics.
