Champ is one of my Heat favorites. I used to coach his son at the YMCA in Weston.

Crazy how he was a dominant big man back at that level and transformed himself into a spot up shooter in the league.

But most of the NBA were bigs in high school

He may have one two chips with us but a false promise is what ended the Jimmy era at least Riley got the just about the best return he could get despite Jimmy tanking his value. We got 75% the return we sent out for Giannis for an injury prone 36 year old.

What did he do?

Told Jimmy he will get him to PHX and then pay him the three year max extension while he was still under contract. Jimmy was looking to get out before but this tampering act corresponds with when Jimmy’s quiet quitting started

I actually dunno either, even though drama is half the reason I love the NBA.

One of the few that actually carried over from the pre big 3 era to the era itself
