After that, the Arena was filled with various food vendors and players were scattered throughout interacting with fans, taking pictures, and signing autographs.

Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said, “It’s as big a part of our culture as trying to compete for championships. Coming together as a Heat family, organization, with the city, to celebrate all the blessing that we have and ultimately to be able to give back.”

Heat captain Bam Adebayo said, “When I was younger we never could do anything like this. Having this opportunity to have your inprint on the younger generation is to spread knowledge and to show that we are human and we like to have fun.”
