Miami Beach is where neon goes to die.
When you look at older teams in the finals, Miami and San Antonio, they’re not really the most explosive or athletic team but they’re always in the right position defensively.
I love Miami and would love to always be in Miami.
Sometimes, you might meet somebody that you love that’s turning into a ‘they.’ My key is invite them to Miami and take them to the ocean and let them jump off the boat in the ocean, on the sand bar, and cleanse off and pray and then go take a shower, and hopefully the ‘they’ is out of you.
I grew up in Miami watching baseball down there, so you could see it from one extreme to the next. It was like, ‘Well, this is what baseball is about.’

Miami was always a town that was kind to me as a wrestler. It’s a great wrestling town, and it’s a great town, period. There’s so much to do in Miami.
But I was always a bit of a gypsy, anyway. I spent five years at Oklahoma State, five years at Miami and moved on after winning the national championship, and five years with the Cowboys.

I was doing telenovelas in Miami and Mexico, and everyone’s dream when you’re an actor is to be in Hollywood.
Oh I love Miami!
In the late-’80s, there was a big push to make American football big in Scotland. The Super Bowl was on TV, but it didn’t really catch on. When I was a kid, though, I became a big Miami Dolphins fan. I don’t really know why – I just liked the logo, I guess. I didn’t really know what was going on.
Every time we go to Sacramento, I go see De’Aaron Fox. Every time he comes to Miami, he comes to the crib. We just kinda kick it and really think about it. ‘We are in the NBA right now. This is real.’ And we cherish those moments because you never know when your time is up on this earth.
My stepfather, Steve Mallonee, is a retired Miami Beach firefighter, loved and adored by many. After numerous years of heroic work, saving lives through fire and heavy smoke, he has developed a very fatal lunge disease called Pulmonary Fibrosis.
In Singapore, there is this life and locals and restaurants and then big casinos and an array of chefs, and even Miami is almost close to Vegas when it comes to an amazing presentation of chefs. But they don’t have these massive hotels that have become their own culinary villages.
I’ve played for the Miami Heat my whole career under Pat Riley. Mr. GQ himself. So when I pick out my outfits before a game, I’m already feeling confident. And some of that swagger stays with me when I take the court.

I watched Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 1 in America. I was in Miami at the time. We went out to watch it and it was a great fight. I thought Tyson Fury won the fight. I thought he was very unlucky not to get the decision.
One of my favorite places is Seattle. Growing up, I never thought I’d be able to go to Seattle. I grew up in eastern South Carolina, so that’s as far as you can get from Seattle, unless I lived in Miami.
Miami is always my favorite town to work because it’s a short drive home.
I actually love the summer. When I went to Miami on tour, I was actually like, ‘I love this place.’

Wherever you go, things change you. I mean, obviously moving to Miami and becoming part of the NBA has given me a different perspective on style than I had when I lived in Chicago or Milwaukee.
I’m an avid University of Miami Hurricanes fan. I hope to come to the day where I can still do some stuff for NBC and somehow integrate it with an RV tour of the South for college football. Luckily, my wife, she’s a Florida State alum, so I wouldn’t have to talk her into it. I think our kids would think we’re weird.
I wanted to find something I was passionate about, something with the possibility of upward movement, and I wanted freedom. I need to be outside living life, not stuck in an office. I figured I could either be out selling condos in Miami, or I could move to L.A. and chase after that elusive actor’s job.
When I first got drafted, I’ve really grown. Coming in, I was kind of nervous but honestly I’ve been really blessed going to two playoff series, one against Miami and the next year against Chicago and the Celtics. I’ve progressed easier.
I would love to go to a restaurant on the beach. And that could be in Miami or that could be in Malibu or Bahamas, Mexico.

So that when I came to New York again, it was, I’m not too sure right now, but it was ’74 or ’75. I went to Miami in ’74 and then I came to New York, I think, at the end of ’74.
It’s not hard to find a date if you are Jewish in New York and Miami, but its hard in Texas.

Growing up in Miami, I had all these great, strong influences. You know, being Cuban and the Latin influence, but also the strong hip-hop influence.
I was in Fort Lauderdale from about age 7 to 14. And that’s where I learned the most about music. My favorite DJ was this guy named DJ Laz and the Miami bass guys. I was super into, like, Arthur Baker, that kind of stuff.
I love the crowds in Miami. I feel that is one of the tournaments where I get more support. That helps me a lot.
If they opened things up and I could build a luxury condominium in Vedado, I would sell them in two hours here in Miami. Cubans in Miami would be the first to buy. In Miami, 80 percent of the people we sell to are foreigners. Havana is a city very similar to Miami… There’s good music, good theater, good ballet.
I go out in Miami as a form of relaxation.
I already had three strikes against me. One, I have light skin. Two, I’m from Miami, which wasn’t getting looked at at the time. Three, I’m Cuban. But now, I’ve made everything that stacked against me into a virtue.
My work ethic I learned at Miami High, and I have taken that with me.

I love the type of music that comes out of Miami, but it’s not the artist that I want to be.
So I went to Miami in ’74 with my family and while I was there it became obvious that we needed money and we needed to do something, because my family, we left without anything really, and we didn’t have any money to begin with.
I was a 52-year-old coach. But people don’t realize I had 25 years as a head coach. Most coaches my age only had a few years as head coach. I had six years at Miami of Ohio, eight years at Northwestern, 11 at Notre Dame.
I can’t say I’ve always been a Miami Heat fan, but ever since I got down to Miami, I’m a fan of many Miami teams.
Especially at Indian Wells, Miami, the hard courts are what I grew up on, so I’m probably most used to it.
