Leonard said, ā€œThereā€™s going to be bumps along the way. What I do know, this is going to be a very interesting time in the NBA because weā€™re going to constantly be around each other, weā€™re not at home, weā€™re in a hotel room for 3-4 months. Thatā€™s crazy. However, what I do know about the Heat is that Heat culture is very real.ā€

Leonard said the Heatā€™s mentality of being there for others and working towards one goal is what theyā€™re going to do.

Leonard said despite the Covid-19 outbreak in Florida, ā€œIā€™ve felt completely comfortable in all of my workouts and everything weā€™ve been doing.ā€

To say Leonard is excited to return to action would be an understatement.

Leonard said, ā€œThe level of excitement to compete and be around the team again and get back on the floor, i donā€™t know, one-thousand out of 100 percent.ā€

Leonard said he cannot wait to get back with his team.

He also credited the Heat with giving him a consistent role on the team, something he says, he did not have in Portland.

Leonard said, ā€œI donā€™t mind being whatever you want to call me, the glue guy, the role guy, I donā€™t care. I donā€™t care about anything. All I care about is wins, period.ā€
