The ‘Miami Heat Culture’ is real, but some already have it before or if they never even play there.

One of the most apparent, ever, actually plays for the Miami Heat right now. It’s Jimmy Butler, but that’s an easy one.

They are all pretty easy, to be honest and if you know what you are looking at, as another one is likely a top priority for them this offseason. As much as some might not like it, both of them in the chase and the fact that he fits, is Kyle Lowry.

There are a few more examples around the league as well, such as Andre Iguodala, another guy on the Heat’s team but him and Jimmy aren’t alone there. When it comes to being what the Miami Heat Culture is and supposed to be, Trevor Ariza is that.

For the entirety of his career he has been a defensive specialist, constantly molding and transforming himself, offensively, to suit whatever style, team, or teammates he was beside. He’s continued to do that until this point in his career, becoming an excellent three point shooter (40 percent from three last season and currently 34.5 percent) and even being a stretch-4 at times, while maintaining his defensive prowess.
