Only a calendar year removed from the Miami Heat’s uplifting run to the 2020 NBA Finals, a disappointing first round exit last season meant it was time for Pat Riley and the front office to bring in some fresh faces. Today’s Media Day gave us our first look at the newest Heat Big 3 of Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and newcomer Kyle Lowry wearing a familiar No. 7 jersey.
As the Heat’s social media team points out, it will certainly be fun to see how Lowry meshes with his old friend Butler and a resurgent Adebayo, fresh off winning Olympic gold this summer.
