Miami Heat Doughnuts: Celebrate the Champs for a Buck

According to website hoopshype.com, the Miami Heat's payroll is a staggering $80,290,662. Even more unbelievable is the fact that Miami came in number five on this list (behind the Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers, and Portland Trailblazers).

According to website hoopshype.com, the Miami Heat's payroll is a staggering $80,290,662. Even more unbelievable is the fact that Miami came in number five on this list (behind the Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers, and Portland Trailblazers).

You could call it money well spent, since the Heat won the championship, sending all of South Florida into a frenzy. We all want to celebrate the Heat's victory, but what if you don't have $16 million (LeBron James and Chris Bosh's reported salaries) to splurge on a $200,000 night of partying and celebration?

Get thee to a Dunkin' Donuts for a celebratory Miami Heat doughnut.

Each

heart-shaped doughnut will be frosted with chocolate and white icing and

emblazoned with the word Heat on each treat.

The doughnuts are

available today only at participating Miami-Dade and Broward Dunkin'

Donuts locations. At about a buck a piece, why not get a dozen and have a

Miami heat office party? We do not, however, suggest buying extra as

collector's items, but if you have to... this website recommends using four or five coats of varnish!
