Seven years.
Itās 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 Iād 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 yearsāthank you. Thank you for believing in me, pushing me, challenging me, and helping shape the player and person Iāve become.
And to the fansā¦
Thank you for riding with me.
Through every big shot, every playoff run, every injury, every rumor, and every seasonāyou showed me love Iāll never forget. Whether you cheered for me in the arena, wore my jersey, or simply believed in me, I felt it. Iāll 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 didnāt just shape my career.
It shaped my life.
Thank you for everything.

OFFICIAL: The Miami HEAT have acquired Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis Jr. from Milwaukee in exchange for Tyler Herro, Kasparas JakuÄionis, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kelāel Ware, three 1st round picks (2026, 2031 & 2033), a 2030 1st round pick swap and a 2033 2nd round pick.
If Giannis joined prime Kobe, yall would say thatās a title contender without knowing the rest of the players
Now when Giannis joins a better scorer than Kobe, they are apparently a play in team
Make it make sense
