To perform at the hall of fame way you articulated that and shared that that was very deeply personal and I know that’s going to impact people when they see you sharing that way so congratulations for that Miami makes some no [Applause] Goami it should be and if you if you’re just tuning in Pat Riley announced during the halftime ceremony as Richardson trays in the middle of uh this beautiful story about Dwayne Wade there will be a statue in front of the building next year of Dwayne Wade you

Can’t get to the basket without somebody contesting a shot Bam gets it from Kyle and buries him Kyle Larry content to feed his teammates ahead for Caleb Martin Duncan in transition a corner three cover that is a thing of beauty for a Heat fan to watch dunan launch three after three year after

Footwork out Beyond The Arc he’s really mastered that side shuffle bam sets the screen for Larry and gets it back Richardson from downtown you got to like that folks ball continues to move for Miami need have been very professional life tonight taking care of business Duncan all the way in Oh Mr Robinson

Put the heat up by 23 to the BAM Slammer that is just really good work by Duncan three of the next four on the road including in Brooklyn theor night 7:30 start bam on a turnaround oh he has become a major League offensive weapon has 24 points and nine rebounds tonight

Establishing your game but John along the way and hopefully not too far down the road you got to figure out what helps lead your team to winning and I think Lam balls at the very early stages of that process you know what you hope so and and you really nailed it I think

Much that means to some of those younger guys and just sharing it with everyone which is just Priceless well they wear it on their Jersey they live it every day when we talk heat culture take a look at it folks there’s a big part of the culture right there the past and the

Present still looking for a fully healthy team but John like Eric spoler always says we have enough the heat continuing to give other players opportunities and something good is is building here in Miami oh I agree yeah I mean just look culturally they’re able to play night in night out with keep
