It’s not often you see a professional athlete wearing the jersey of a teammate out in public, but the Miami Heat seems to like to set new trends.
Over the weekend in Las Vegas, Rodney McGruder made it a point during the Heat’s first two summer league games to wear the jerseys of teammates James Johnson and Tyler Johnson while sitting on Miami’s bench and cheering on Bam Adebayo, Derrick Jones Jr. and a bunch of undrafted rookies and free agents representing the franchise he plays for.
“I wish I had [the entire collection],” McGruder said of the 15 Heat players who will suit up for training camp in September.
