Q: How much did the possibility of making incredible money drive you to this point? Hassan Whiteside: “When you’re a little kid, you never know how much money these guys make. You just know they’re on TV. You don’t crunch the numbers. I just knew I wanted to succeed in this dream. The money is great, of course, but you can’t just go chase that. I know what I do on the court, and if we win that’s all gonna happen. It’ll help me do things to better myself and finally get to do some things I’ve wanted to do, different things like going to train at places I couldn’t afford. I couldn’t afford them places. That’s why I was working out at the Y. I could get a nutritionist and a chef. I could get a massage therapist. Stuff I could use to better myself that are a little hard for me right now.”

he wouldn't do that for no barnes....KD yeah i dont fukk what barnes like that somethin iffy bout that nikkaAt one point earlier this calendar year, the Heat had serious concerns about making a huge financial commitment to Hassan Whiteside. But in the Heat’s eyes, Whiteside has helped himself considerably since, and Miami clearly would like to re-sign him this summer. But the amount the Heat is willing to pay won’t be decided until after the playoffs, and no contract discussions have even begun, because an extension with Whiteside isn’t permitted until the summer, in accordance with league rules prohibiting extensions for players on two-year contracts.

Whiteside said the Heat has given him no indication about its interest in keeping him. “They haven’t talked about [free agency],” he said. “They want to see how far we get this season with this team. Playoffs will speak a lot. I hope [there’s interest]. I like the organization. Pat Riley is always going to do a great job of adding people that are going to help you win. It’s not hard to sell to come to Miami. You can always recruit great talent.”

Not only are teammates much happier with Whiteside than ever before, but Pat Riley approached him recently “and told me how proud he was of me and to keep building on that,” Whiteside said. Heat executive Alonzo Mourning expressed similar sentiments.

Sounds like Hasaan has bought in. I wonder if he will take a 1 year deal if it means us getting Durant or Barnes?

all these bytchmade reporters with their "heat are better without hassan" articles are quiet as fukk now. hatin ass fakkits
been a while since certain posters in here dropped them defensive ratings too
we said give hassan the ball more and certain posters called him a black hole
.......nah....it just takes EXPERIENCE to improve on your game. can't improve when you're being frozen out of the offense. the team finally started running plays for him....letting him work out the kinks. and just like that, we got one of the best offensive big men in the game .....and he hasn't even touched the surface:HassanUMAD:

Miami Heat’s Josh Richardson, Hassan Whiteside rewrite NBA’s rules
Josh Richardson and Hassan Whiteside are playing at a level beyond their pedigrees
It’s rare for inexperienced players to contribute so much to playoff teams
It’s hard to know where the ceiling is for either
The Miami Heat rookie leads the NBA in three-point shooting since the All-Star break including making 22 of his last 30 attempts.
This is not normal.
Josh Richardson must know this is not normal.
To repeatedly shoot 3 for 4 from three-point range, again on Monday against the Nets?
To connect on 63.5 percent from behind the arc in March, when Ray Allen, among the all-time marksmen, never shot higher than 51 percent in any of his dozen full months with the Heat?
To post an NBA-best accuracy rate of 62.3 in the 20 games since the All-Star break, after playing in only 23 games prior, when he was just a second-round rookie shuttling between Miami and wherever D-League affiliate Sioux Falls was stationed?
Unequivocally, unquestionably, undeniably not normal.
“It’s pretty normal at this point,” Richardson said, laughing. “I don’t know, I’m finding good spots. My teammates are driving, I’m relocating, and they make it easy on you.”
This isn’t arrogance. That’s not him. His closest childhood friend, Chad Johnson — not the Ochocinco guy — calls him “go with the flow” and “cool, calm and collected,” but also “jovial” and “upbeat” and “goofy, always looking for the next joke,” with eclectic tastes, from piano to long-boarding to FIFA soccer video games to rock concerts.
“He’s always been his own individual, which is a good thing,” Johnson said.
But not arrogant. Not at all.
Nor is he nonchalant, even if his answer might seem so. Jordan McRae, his two-year University of Tennessee roommate who is currently a Cavaliers reserve, didn’t deem Richardson to be “the cleanest person,” though the Edmond, Oklahoma-raised Richardson was resourceful, creating all sorts of “struggle meals,” from pepperoni and cheese on toast or sprinkled cheese on nachos as anytime snacks or even the occasional dinner. Plus, Richardson — whose father, Micheal, is a retired firefighter and mother, Alice, is a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel and an active ordained Baptist minister — was disciplined when necessary, not only earning a degree in psychology but also earning bigger basketball roles each season.
“When he came into college,” McRae said, “his [defensive] man sagged in the lane. So for him to develop his shooting the way that he has, he worked hard. Hard worker.”
But here’s the hard truth:
Plenty of players work hard. Plenty of second-round selections show promise.
It’s not normal for any to work like this.
So much has propelled the Heat to a 14-6 record since the All-Star break, all in Chris Bosh’s absence. Goran Dragic finding his pace, Luol Deng finding his role, Dwyane Wade (30 points Monday) finding some Father Prime form, Amar’e Stoudemire finding pride in his defensive side, Justise Winslow finding the rookie wall is made of flimsy cardboard rather than stout stone.
Still, the Heat’s rally is mostly because of its two most fantastical finds.
After all, Hassan Whiteside would be the runaway most remarkable revelation on any other roster, outcast-turned-outlier, from the YMCA to potential All-NBA. He’s also in the mix for Most Improved Player, All-Defensive Team, and even Defensive Player of the Year, with even Wade (an occasional critic) lustily endorsing his candidacy Monday.
“That’s a conversation that needs to be happening,” Wade declared.
Whiteside is not in the conversation for Sixth Man of the Year; he has started too many games to qualify. If he were eligible, his numbers in that role (16.9 points, 12.5 rebounds, 3.4 blocks, 62.1 field-goal percentage) would make him a shoo-in. No one has been close all season. No Sixth Man of the Year since the award’s inception in 1982-83 has averaged as many rebounds or blocks, or shot as accurately.
This history anomaly is happening even as Whiteside is “no secret” now: “Guys, they see me, they pass it out. They try to get me in foul trouble. They try all kinds of schemes. They try to put a shooting big, make me run through pick-and-rolls, all kinds of stuff.”
Yet the numbers keep growing. Whiteside credited the Heat front office for recognizing talent. The Heat coaching staff has developed it too. But talent must also decide to keep developing itself.
Whiteside said something about praise Monday that will please Heat officials. He said it shouldn’t go to stat-padders on losing teams: “When you’re putting up numbers and you’re winning, that’s when you’re actually doing something.”
He called all of this a “blessing.”
“Especially coming from where everybody told you that you couldn’t do something,” Whiteside said. “And now they’re talking about being one of the top players in the league at the center position.”
While Richardson has been the league’s best long-range shooter, for more than a month.
“It’s crazy,” Whiteside said.
It is.
This is not normal, for three players so inexperienced — including Winslow — to contribute so much on a playoff contender. This is not normal, for someone who once struggled as a shooter, to characterize his confidence this way:
“High,” Richardson said. “I feel like if a team leaves me open, it’s going in.”
Not normal.
Richardson shrugged.
“I don’t know,” Richardson said. “It’s dope.”
Another shrug.
“It’s dope.”
For the Heat, it’s hope.
