#HeatNation GSU ‘20

[Tyler Herro @raf_tyler]

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.

@AshNicoleMoss Was that your opinion when Bam “mastered the art of manipulation” to get 82 points in a way that is “allowed” and even though you were frustrated you realize it was just him “taking advantage of system the league created”

[Shazeb Abbas @ShazebAbbas]

@HeatNationCom @MiamiHerald Send Ware, JJJ, Kas, Norm + picks

[Shazeb Abbas @ShazebAbbas]

@AshNicoleMoss Who died and made you an NBA GM with all of these definitive statements

[Shazeb Abbas @ShazebAbbas]

@ChefTrillie @Boness305 Trae arguably has more trade value down the road anyways bc he’s younger - and we don’t get worse

[Shazeb Abbas @ShazebAbbas]

@C_S__ Rage baiting #14 fans is crazy

[Shazeb Abbas @ShazebAbbas]

@GregSylvander Also think HH should be traded for assets, give those minutes to Keshad

[Shazeb Abbas @ShazebAbbas]

@DADDOISTIRED @5ReasonsSports @PrizePicks Forget that, imagine making this signing AFTER going all in and getting KD like they should have ….

[Shazeb Abbas @ShazebAbbas]

@WadexFlash @KDTrey5 @MiamiHEAT Now think about this …. Trade for Jrue Holiday and move Davion to the second unit 🥵

[Shazeb Abbas @ShazebAbbas]

@UnbiasedHeatFan @HEATVSREFS This while keeping Mitchell is my ideal scenario

[Shazeb Abbas @ShazebAbbas]

@Floridaphilo @WadexFlash Yeah that too

[Shazeb Abbas @ShazebAbbas]

@HeatNationZachp As a Tyler fan, this is not an insult to him. Let him be a #2 it will actually help his game so much

[Shazeb Abbas @ShazebAbbas]

Miami setting picks to get the DPOY to switch onto our best offense player ?? Are yall dumb ?

[Shazeb Abbas @ShazebAbbas]

@HeatvsHaters I miss Jimmy so much right now :/

[Shazeb Abbas @ShazebAbbas]

@C_S__ They gonna try to Drake his ass 😂

[Shazeb Abbas @ShazebAbbas]

@C_S__ I would hope it was more in the context of Jimmy missing a lot of games and not flying with the team, etc, things Heat had problems with

[Shazeb Abbas @ShazebAbbas]

@HeatCulture13 @MiamiHEAT @NBA @stephenasmith I don’t think Spo is ready to be done coaching though, hear him talk in press conferences he’s an X’s and O’s psycho …. Bad season for him but I’d like to see him do both coach and president as Pat retires and then have Spo phase out as his protege becomes appointed

[Shazeb Abbas @ShazebAbbas]

@ChefTrillie It’s starting to hit me hella, I miss Jimmy 😢
