Norman Powell Gives an Inside Look at Miami Heat’s Championship Culture – Ball in the Family Ep. 6
Miami Heat sharpshooter Norman Powell pulls up to the Ball in the Family Podcast with Lonzo, Gelo, DMO, and Ant for one of the realest conversations yet. From NBA headlines to personal journeys, nothing is off limits.
The crew dives deep into the Terry Rozier situation and the shocking gambling scandal that’s rocking the league. How does this affect players? What does it mean for the future of the NBA? The guys give their unfiltered takes.
Norman opens up about his mission to give back to Jamaica and reconnect with his roots. From playing for the Jamaican National Team to leading hurricane relief efforts, he shares how representing his father’s homeland has filled a void in his life.
The conversation takes a stylish turn as they talk Paris Fashion Week fits and who’s really stepping out correctly. Plus, Gelo reflects on his infamous UCLA arrest in China and the life lessons that came from that wild chapter.
