The ongoing dramatic events of the NBA offseason are set to give rise to yet another exciting campaign.

Jimmy decided to put the work right before the start of the NBA training camps for the upcoming season. The Miami Heat talisman sent a message out loud showcasing his priorities.

The forward recently visited the Budweiser Stage in Canada to attend the singer Morgan Wallen’s performance. After that, he stepped straight into the personal gymnasium of the famous rapper Drake.

He later posted the training clips from his Instagram story, providing a glimpse of his work ethic to his millions of followers. From jump shots to off-the-dribble mid-rangers, the 6-time All-Star left no stone unturned during his time there. This became public at an interesting time, as his contract extension was about to kick in.
The three-year $146.18 million contract extension he signed with the Heat back in 2021 would get activated from this season. Despite this, there are talks of the franchise showing interest in keeping him for a longer term with a better offer. If a deal of that sort goes through, it would make Jimmy one of the highest earners in the league.
Coming from a humble beginning, he has taken the league by storm in the past few seasons. With a franchise like Miami putting their bets on him, it makes us wonder about one thing.
Can he help Miami win their fourth championship?

With two NBA finals appearances in the last four years, the Miami Heat’s late surge in a regular season can never be ruled out. Establishing themselves as one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, they are the ones to watch out for this season too.
Jimmy’s arrival in Miami had a lot to do with their recent successes. Playing through injuries and fatigue, he has cemented his place in the team’s history as one of the top signings ever.
