One win is all the Miami Heat need to once again reach the NBA Finals. Jimmy Butler and the Heat played a game of dreams, annihilating the number 2 seed Boston Celtics. The elite offensive tandem of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown had no answers.? This win came in front of some special guests. NFL stars from the Miami Dolphins watched the Game 3 blowout. Before the dominance unfolded, they revealed to the fans who they would be if they were to ever switch sports.

It was a night of celebration for the Heat, who at the beginning of the season weren’t even looked at as contenders for the championship. Defensively, Miami disrupted the Celtics’ plays, while making shot after shot on the other end.

A Russell Westbrook-Charles Barkley NFL duo?

Dolphins’ cornerback, Jalen Ramsey, and defensive end, Christian Wilkins were at the Kaseya Center tonight to watch the pivotal Game 3. They took over Bleacher Report‘s Instagram, sharing their experience, and giving fans a few laughs along the way. With the mic in his control, Ramsey asked Wilkins, “What position would you play if you were in the NBA?”

Standing at 6’4″, the 27-year-old felt his size gave him the measurements of a guard. However, an inability to handle the ball would be a huge worry. Hence, Wilkins saw himself being a stretch 3. “I will be like Charles Barkley,” he said on their Bleacher Report Instagram takeover.

He flipped the question right to Ramsey who had the inner calling for being the point guard on the roster. His comparison? Russell Westbrook. Ramsey is arguably one of the best NFL players today. He only recently moved to the Dolphins, a transfer that shook the NFL world. He is energetic, making tackles without any fear. His agility and quickness keep no opponent out of his sacking zone, a trait similar to Westbrook’s ferocious nature going to the rim.

The Dolphins star had the perfect night watching the Heat blow out the Boston Celtics. Despite being a part of the city, Wilkins walked home upset. He walked with green Air Jordan 1s as an homage to the Celtics. Unfortunately, he had his face in his hands for most of the night.

Miami didn’t need a Jimmy Butler burst to win tonight. They defended with heart and gave the Celtics no life. On offense, it was Gabe Vincent, who scored 29 on 11-14 shooting. Winning by 26 points in front of a loud home crowd was probably the perfect way to start their home game period.

Boston had no answer for Miami on either side of the floor. Their shots didn’t fall, and they couldn’t stop the barrage of attacks the Heat fired. Jayson Tatum and Co are stuck in the face of making history, identical to that of LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers.
