Udonis
What do you see in this Heat team that you saw in the 06,12,13 teams??
DWright-Players' Tribune
This team is its own. I can't even compare them. This team will literally run through a brick wall with no hesitation. You just as well as I do, usually you're gonna have 4-5 flinchers. Lol
Udonis
Nobody on this team will flinch. Not even the Baby Goats...
That's so dope. I think you guys have a bunch of Miami Heat basketball players. And that might go over a lot of people head. You have to be built a little different to wear that Heat Uni!!
DWright-Players' Tribune

People thinks it's a game bra. When you come here, it's a standard we expect you to hold up to. I'm gon be on you everyday to get the best and the most out you and I ain't gon lie to you and make it sound fly to you.

Udonis

DWright-Players' Tribune
If my old ass doing all this work and extra and I don't play I'll be damn if I let someone come in here and shortcut the process. Ain't no shortcuts to a ring my boy. You know that just like I do.
Udonis
Me knowing you as a vocal leader, who leads by example. How did you guys come up with the decision to protest games?
DWright-Players' Tribune
Have ya like!!!! Bra
It was a decision made by Milwaukee that as players we wanted and decided to support. Based on what's going on around the world and what had just happened with Jacob Blake we stood with our NBA brothers.
Udonis
As you guys should. I love the Brotherhood we have in the NBA. Using our voice!!! Our platform to make change!!! Nothing more powerful than seeing guys come together. So I salute you guys and respect it!!!
DWright-Players' Tribune
Yeah man. We really are a band of brothers in this league. No matter how competitive we are and the battles we have, I think we all are on the same side of this and that's powerful.
Udonis

DWright-Players' Tribune
How did your Collaboration come about with Fly Supply Co? Y’all came with some Heeeaat bro. Merch was super
Fly Supply was some young kings in my city I saw on IG that had they clothing line. Instantly they caught my attention cause I know how easy it is to give up on your dream and go for that fast money. We see it everyday in my city. So I DM them and told them I want to support. I didn't want anything free. I wanted to pay. And I was gonna go shopping. We maintained a relationship every sense.
Udonis
Very major!!! Salute to those guys at Fly Supply. Merch crazy!!
DWright-Players' Tribune
Every step been a learning process. But the biggest thing with me is I know what I want. And when I know what I want, I do the work necessary to get it. I will obsess over it. It's mostly driven by all the doubt and circumstances that we all encountered growing up in the inner cities as a minority.
Udonis
This man is dropping Bars!!!
DWright-Players' Tribune
Preciate dat bra. It's like I'm born and raised here. Here I've been blessed to win at the highest level and bring 3 rings to my city. What's next? Will that be all they remember you for? Naw bra. I'm too invested in my city. Too much of my blood still running round in them miami streets. I can change lives like for real for real. The low income housing project we on is a real game changer for me.
Udonis
I agree 100%. Knowing how much you can impact your community in a positive way!!! Creating opportunities. You love to see it. Just know your lil bro super proud of you and taking notes!!!

DWright-Players' Tribune
