Just a day after the loss of one of the all-time great athletes, post-athletes, and people in general, the Miami Heat still have to take the court. As if the Black Mamba would want anything different but for the people to play ball, it will be surreal for many players knowing that the guy that inspired them to pick up the round ball is no longer here.
The Miami Heat, along with every other franchise set to tip off in the near future, will try to overcome these emotions on Monday night and beyond though.
