Week 3 of the NBA saw exhilarating matchups over the weekend. It also saw the Miami Heat clinch a victory over the Boston Celtics. This means that they are just one win away from making it to the NBA finals starting from June 1. The Miami Heat leads the Eastern Conference with their impressive showcase. It may come as a surprise to many, as the 8th-seeded team is continuing its impressive run.
But while players and the team enjoy their victory, Miami Dolphins star Jalen Ramsey was in attendance for the game as well. He and his coach Mike McDaniel came to attend the heated matchup of Saturday night. And according to him, it is because of his presence that the Miami Heat are able to continue their winning streak.

The NBA match between the two teams saw Gabe Vincent score a career-record 29 points. Duncan Robinson also played his part, adding 22 points to the 128-102 win over the Celtics. The Celtic won three times last season on the Heat’s home turf. But this time, they seemed to struggle against their Eastern conference opponents. CB Jalen Ramsey was also in attendance to show his support for his Miami NBA counterpart. And he feels that it might just be because of him that the team is now making their way to the finals.
The Miami Dolphins CB shared an Instagram story, where he credited himself for the team’s victory. He wrote, “Yet another Miami Heat WIN!.. STILL undefeated when I’m in the building.” The story seems to state that it is because of his presence that brought luck to the underdogs of the Eastern Conference.

While this claim may be a debatable one, it is a no-brainer that Jalen Ramsey is one of the most talented cornerbacks to play in the NFL.
Ramsey is one of the best cornerbacks
After being drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars as a fifth overall pick in the 2016 draft, the 28-year-old CB has gone on to solidify himself as one of the best cornerbacks in the league. Prior to being traded to the Dolphins, Jalen Ramsey has created an impressive record in defense at the Los Angeles Rams. He was also a part of the Rams team that won the Super Bowl LVI. During his stint with the Rams, the CB had two first-team all-pro selections and a 4X Pro Bowler. He left the Rams after a 5-12 season last year while looking forward to continuing his impressive performance in Miami.
