I've been a Heat Nation fan since my all time fave player Alonzo Mourning was drafted in 1992 and traded to the Heat in 1995 and I stayed there ever since. I decided to take a trip to the States and watch my very first NBA game, it's not hard to guess which team I went to watch. I have family in Oakland California so I decided to schedule my trip when the Heat was visiting the the Warriors, this was January 11.
My seat was just behind the Heat bench and there they all were, all of them were right there literally two steps from my seat! Long story short I got to meet the entire Miami Heat team, all the players (don't get me started on meeting Birdman, Wade, CB, Stoudemire!). I was even interviewed by Heat TV and Fox Sports (I have the 2 minute segment as evidence!).
I'll be sharing the photos and new maildays but first this one's dedicated to my man Amar'e Stoudemire aka STAT. I actually enjoyed watching him in his Phoenix Suns days when he played alongside Steve Nash and then when he was with my second fave team NY Knicks. I was super excited when I heard the Heat acquired him this past season, sure he's way past his prime but this guy can still give some minutes off the bench.
He did win rookie of the year in 2003, NBA All-Rookie First Team and made 6 All-Star appearances.
View from my seat, Heat bench was just a few steps to my right. There's STAT in front and rookie Winslow on the right. And there's Curry #30!!
Ok here's my Stoudemire mailday.
Let's start with a tag 5/5
He played half a season in Dallas before joining the Heat.
Tasty Gold Prizm 3/10
Immaculate Logo 14/16
BOOM 1/1! Not quite a logoman but still a sweet jersey numbered tag
One of One
Another jersey numbered card, one of my favourite STAT cards! The logoman tag from his Christmas Day jersey (from the jersey he's wearing on the card)
Just waiting for this baby to arrive anyday now..
And yet another jersey numbered card...Select Black Prizm 1/1
Last card of the bunch...
My STAT pride and joy...
First one in my collection...
My first ever logoman jersey numbered 1/3
One last surprise...
Got to meet Stoudemire after the game!
Thanks for stopping by!
