Hearing it was Miami, I was really excited. I've had a couple guys I've played with who played for the organization and said amazing things about the city, the fans, the organization. Thinking back to my childhood, being a big fan of Dwyane Wade. Watching for the Heat. Wanting to play for the Heat ... was a childhood dream.
Then I was like, 'Oh it's Norman!' ... I know how much inspiration he took from the player that I was. ... It's cool to have that connection. It's a dream for him to put that jersey on because he grew watching one of his favorite players play in that jersey.
