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.

This is what we wanted to deliver to our fans more than anything. This is a club that should always compete for everything and be right at the top. No excuses. All teams win games but in the end there’s only one champion. That’s what history remembers and this applies to next season as well.
Eight years of incredible memories.
We talked often about the Rams being back in LA and how we would grow to be something special here. And there was frustration early on around getting the buy in from the people of LA.
But we knew at the end of the day, it’s about providing moments. Shared experiences. The things that parents and their children will talk about and remember forever.
That is what makes the ending of these last eight years so difficult. It’s the ending of something we have enjoyed building with you.
Thank you for these shared moments. Thank you LA for welcoming my family with open arms and allowing us to grow here.
Next chapter starts now. Best is yet to come.
