HURLBURT FIELD, Fla. -- There's going to be a spotlight on the Miami Heat all season.

And a shadow. A long shadow.

Such is life when three players who are used to having just about every movement tracked decide they all want to be part of the same team. LeBron James has had all eyes on him since he was a high schooler. Dwyane Wade has been the story in Miami for years. Chris Bosh was once the face of Toronto's franchise.

The Heat spotlight, it's theirs to share.

The 17 other players the Heat have in training camp, well, they're getting front-row seats to a three-star circus.

"I'd love to be one of those 'other' guys, as you would say," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said during a break between two Wednesday practices. "They can just do their business and not have to deal with all these microphones. That'd be great, wouldn't it?"

Few, if anyone, on the Heat bus would argue.

"A lot of times, other guys, they just get to show up and go to work and not have to deal with as many distractions because of lot of attention is going to be on these guys," Heat center Zydrunas Ilgauskas said. "You're going to be left by yourself a lot of times, which is perfect. You can just do your job. I'm OK with that. More than OK with that."
