Udonis Haslem explains going at Jimmy Butler during a time out years ago:
“3rd yeah I did go at Jimmy. You damn right. The shit you pull in golden state and that shit he pulled in Chicago talking crazy to Hoiberg and disrespecting teammates in practice in Minnesota ain’t gon fly in the 305. So yeah. I checked his ass.
Call it heat culture or what ever you want but before I let one player disrespect Spo in front of the squad, cut his legs out and disrupt what 15 other guys tryin to get accomplished, I’ll kick his ass. I owe that to ZO and Tim and Glen and the rest of my OGs.”
HBD BIRDMAN!
Chris Andersen was undrafted, played for 5 pro teams around the world before ending up in the NBA, where he played 16 years & won a Championship. He’s also a @theBIG3 legend.
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.
