GOING TO MIAMI

Hey Fans!

I hope this message finds you all doing well! I’m in Chicago right now working out and staying in shape. I’m proud to say that I recently held my 10th Annual Basketball Academy here and it was a huge success! We had over 350 kids that participated and learned lessons about life, computer literacy, the importance of education and how to improve their skills on the basketball court! I’d like to thank my many wonderful sponsors for helping make my camp so successful and assisting me in making a difference in the lives of so many Chicago youths!

I’m not sure if you’ve heard the good news yet but I’m officially a member of the Miami Heat! I’m very excited about this opportunity and want to thank God, first and foremost, for making it possible!
I enjoyed playing in Portland for the great crowd at the Rose Garden during this past season but am looking forward to moving on and continuing to pursue my goal of winning my first NBA Championship. Can’t wait to join my new teammates: Mike Miller, Jamaal MaGloire, James Jones, Udonis Haslem, Chris Bosh, Joel Anthony, Mario Chalmers, LeBron James, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Dexter Pitman and Dwayne Wade!

I’d really like to take a moment and let you know how grateful I am to have such wonderful and supportive fans throughout my 17-year NBA career. And that goes out not only to the fans from the cities I’ve played in but also to the ones across the globe who’ve been there for me throughout the good and bad. You always inspire me to compete at a higher level!

Lastly, I’d like to thank my number one supporters – my wife and children!!! You’ve sacrificed more than anyone to support me and help me follow my dreams. I love you!
