Seven years.

It’s hard to put into words what this city has meant to me.

When Miami drafted a 19-year-old kid out of Kentucky, they believed in me before I’d proven anything. Together, we experienced just about everything this game has to offer.

Two trips to the Finals. Deep playoff runs. Becoming an All-Star. The highest highs, the toughest moments, and every lesson in between.

Through every challenge, every expectation, every rumor, and every setback, I always believed in one thing: put your head down, go to work, and represent the name on the front of the jersey the right way. Every time I stepped on the floor, my goal was to help bring another championship to Miami.

This city gave me more than a basketball career.

It gave me a place to grow up.

I became a man here. I became a father here. I built lifelong relationships here.

Miami became home.

To Spo, Pat, Micky, the entire organization, my teammates, the coaches, trainers, equipment staff, arena staff, and everyone who poured into me over the last seven years—thank you. Thank you for believing in me, pushing me, challenging me, and helping shape the player and person I’ve become.

And to the fans…

Thank you for riding with me.

Through every big shot, every playoff run, every injury, every rumor, and every season—you showed me love I’ll never forget. Whether you cheered for me in the arena, wore my jersey, or simply believed in me, I felt it. I’ll always be grateful for that support.

As excited as I am for this next chapter back home in Milwaukee, a part of me will always belong to Miami.

Miami didn’t just shape my career.

It shaped my life.

Thank you for everything.

[AmericanPapaBear™ @AmericaPapaBear]

"The hardest thing I have ever done in my life, is sit in a hospital room and watch my son die, and watch my wife watch her son die."

"There was nothing I could do."

"I would have done anything."

"As hard as it was and still is, I have never experienced anything that made me more aware of the love of God."

"God watched his son die for me and for you and he could have stopped it."

"He loved us so much that he didn't."

Really puts things into perspective, doesn't it?
