Pat Riley waited after the game to congratulate his players after the big win over the Clippers.
He’s still showing up to games and supporting the guys at 81 years old.
Klay Thompson gives an emotional post game interview after his game-winner:
“Bam set an incredible screen… I was visualizing my footwork. I believe in the power of the mind and I came through tonight”
Giannis says the Miami Heat players move so fast that it has him questioning if he got slower👀
“We’ve been really good…this group is very competitive, like I see the way the guys move — they move so f*cking fast, it’s insane. I don’t know if I’m getting slower or like what’s going on? I don’t know if they’ve been trained under this coach for many years and they’re used to that speed…you don’t want to be the guy that doesn’t carry their weight and don’t do your job…if somebody is not doing their job — we try to keep him accountable…”
Former Miami HEAT forward KZ Okpala on why he no longer plays basketball:
“I don't play basketball anymore solely because of injury. If I could play basketball, 110%, without a doubt, I would. There's nothing better than basketball.
I had surgery on my knee and, long story short, it just didn't go well. The functionality of my knee has forever changed…..The way I walk is totally different now.
I've injected my knee with countless PRP shots, cortisone, hyaluronic acid—you name it…..I exhausted all options. I was at peace. I knew God had a different plan for me.”

P.J. Tucker on his time with the Miami HEAT:
“Going to Miami was maybe the biggest blessing of them all outside of winning a championship. Coming of age and getting older, Miami was the absolute perfect place for me. I probably had the best season of my career.”

Florida: Come on vacation, leave on probation. Return on violation hahahaah but anyway I'm glad to see the Scottish are enjoying the Miami World Cup vibe as much as we do!! And who knows who they will get to meet in TGK later tonight🤣
Bam and his mother struggled and lived in a trailer house.
Bam did everything to give his mom the life she wanted and made it to the NBA.
And tonight his mother watched him score the 2nd most points in history.
.@POTUS: "Not only did you live up to the sky-high expectations, you gave us perhaps the most dominant playoff run in NHL history... you led the Finals for over 255 minutes... and you denied Canada the Stanley Cup for the 32nd straight year." 🤣
A’ja Wilson says she wants to have kids with Bam Adebayo
"That is always a dream. This is my life partner. Honestly, what on earth was my world before you? That’s how much he’s impacted my life."
