MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Miami Heat star Hassan Whiteside has gone from relative unknown to one of the best centers in the NBA in just a few years.
After bouncing around the NBA and even playing abroad, Whiteside found a home with the Heat.
His hard work culminated in a four-year, $98 million contract that he signed last summer.
Now with his future secure, both in the NBA and financially, Whiteside is paying it forward to one of the most important people in his life.
On Wednesday he surprised his mother Debbie with a brand new six-bedroom home.
