Kyle is an NBA champion, a six-time All-Star and a travel agent.
The veteran point guard organized a team trip to the Bahamas for the Miami Heat as the play-in tournament unfolded, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports.
The head coach said that.
Kyle told me what he wanted to do with the team. I gave him my blessings because he had everything figured out. There are only a few players who have played for this franchise that could have pulled off something like this. It shows you how special Kyle is and how much we respect him as a person and a player.
The team has grown fond of the Villanova product, despite his first season with the Heat.
The trip was a welcomed excursion that provided a nice mental break and a bonding period beyond the ordinary, according to theHeat players.
During the playoffs, he has been out because of a hamstring injury, and he appears limited when he is on the floor. He missed the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics and averaged just 4.7 points per night while shooting 21.7 percent from the field over the next three games.
