Back to the Miami Heat Newsfeed

In a flashback to 80’s basketball, the Kelly Olynyk and Hassan Whiteside combo brought old-school style to Miami.

In the Miami Heat 91-84 win over the Charlotte Hornets the twin towers of Hassan Whiteside and Kelly Olynyk made their presence known in the final quarter with old-style NBA defense.

Back in the days when Mario Chalmers and Michael Beasley shared the court with Whiteside, Whiteside introduced Heat basketball to Olynyk in a contest against the Boston Celtics.

Not that Olynyk is a stranger to physical contact on the basketball court as he and Kelly Oubre traded football-style blocks in a Celtics versus Washington Wizards game.
