“Always-be-competing”
How tf did Pat Riley look his oldest as a player, the beard 😭
The nba needs to bring back the old finals trophy logo in the middle the big scoreboard come on bring back the fun.
ALWAYS BE COMPETING Is Very True About The Miami Heat!!! HEAT IN SIX Or Maybe Even Five If They Can Keep The Momentum Plus Winning The Fourth Quarters!!!!
you tube chris from vegas your welcome
as a coach = al pacino from scent of a woman
Messi to Miami!!
No state tax probably has something to do with it.
not only Posey but PJ Brown had more HEAT Culture in him Perk.
goddam im so sick of annoying malika. if it werent for her looks the only interviews she would be doing are asking jimmy and bam if they want fries with that.
In 2019, AD got traded to the Lakers. KD and Kyrie went to Brooklyn. Kawhi and PG went to the Clippers. Who knew Jimmy would be the most successful over all of them?
Heat is definitely the most impressive team out there. Other than Jimmy and MAYBE Bam, there are no stand outs on their roster in terms of impressive talent. All grit and grind, somehow they got this far with an underwhelming roster. I get what is Heat culture now.
In the 4 years that Jimmy has been in Miami, two Finals appearances and three ECF appearances. Kawhi, PG, KD, and Kyrie won a combined 4 playoff series.
AD's 4 years as a Laker: Ring, 1st round exit, missed playoffs, a WCF appearance. Miami got their money's worth from Jimmy with lesser talent around him.
Clippers are getting ripped off from Kawhi and PG. Doing what KD and Kyrie did to Brooklyn. Clippers will never get far. Always injured. While Jimmy will play when hurt.
James Posey and PJ Brown
Gilbert Arenas had a YouTube short talking about how if Jimmy Butler leads the Heat to a championship he can be considered the best player in the world due to the talent he did it with. Interesting take.
🎉🏀😎
Windys A-B-C…..Always Be Consuming 😂😂 Lay off the buffet
Enter Big Perk 😜🎉🎉
Really don't care who wins, I love both teams. Finally, different hard working teams other than the same old teams.
Heat in 4. Book it.
Just put relegation in american sports and every team will always be competing . Imagine tanking being allowed . Or a team being expected to win nothing for a decade
James Posey is getting some love! He was so clutch for the Heat in 2006. His timely 3's, defense, and toughness with Haslem and Zo were key to winning the first chip. 🔥🏆
A.B.C.! 💪💪
I wish I worked at a company that weighed me everyday 🙂
They like a college team
Pat Riley be on that Coach Carter stuff man
RJ needs to go up a size on the jacket or start going to heat weighins.
Lionel Messi is comimg to Miami. We have two team in the finals. We had two teams in the Final Four. Is Miami winning sports right now? Let's go Heat!!
As a Heat fan I get nervous when the media starts talking well about us.
"Pat riley created heat culture and showed the franchise how to get to the we finals" um no that was Dwyane Wade
Rachel sick af
yall need to `define talent stop the BS less talented Heat
Leblame James didn't fit the Heat Culture he had to get the fuk out😂🤣😆😆
why is kendrick perkins including himself in the heat culture, his big fat budd will not last a month in a heat organization.
Oh gawd another cliche to be wornout every show.
7 NBA FINALS IN LAL AS COACH
7 NBA FINALS IN MIA AS GM/COACH
3 NBA FINALS AS A PLAYER
THAT IS 17
The Heat are a bunch of over achievers and lucky underdogs. One of the reasons they got to the NBA Finals is due to an injury to a star player of the opponent (Giannis/Jayson). In fact, the team was destroyed by the Lakers in the 2020 Finals.
All this heat love. I see a loss
Pat Riley, Phil Jackson, and Gregg Popovich was born with a master mind on winning NBA Finals Championships and competing organically and I will always respect that, but Pat Riley can never control the choice of his players when they turned to performance enhancement drugs (PED) to get the edge and win over their opponents. I'll never forget before Lebron James left Miami he told Pat Riley he'll never get back to the NBA Finals and he took James Jones with him to Cleveland, and this year I wanted Phoenix Suns & the Boston Celtics in the 2023 NBA Finals so therefore, I want Denver Nuggets to win it all!
PERK!!!!
The illusion of a heat victory is a just another mirage on the nuggets road.., lol
I don’t know why Miami specifically stands out anymore than some of the rest of the teams. There are a lot of amazing players and coaches in the league right now.
