As Avery Bradley watched the 2020 NBA Finals — “as a fan,” he said — he found himself in the unique position of witnessing his past, present and future.
During the regular season, he had helped lead the Los Angeles Lakers to the Western Conference’s best regular-season record. During the playoffs, he took in the action from his 比特币交易价格行情home, bypassing the Disney World quarantine bubble due to COVID-19 concerns. And then, during the championship series, he saw the Lakers defeat a Miami Heat team he would join weeks later.
Now a member of the Heat, on a two-year contract signed at the outset of last week’s free-agency period, Bradley spoke of his whirlwind.
“I was watching the game as a fan. Obviously, I was going for my team,” he said of the Lakers in the Finals. “But you still admire a lot of the guys that are playing. You’re out of the bubble, but the Miami Heat definitely, they stood out for me and I really enjoyed watching Bam play and watching Jimmy play. I mean the entire team.”
As in Bam Adebayo. As in Jimmy Butler. As in those he will join in Heat training camp next week.
