” I hope I will never have to do with a longer off-season! “, cowardly Gabe Vincent with a big smile, before adding: ” I don’t take anything for granted, but I hope to have short summers for the rest of my career. »
You have to believe that the leader of the Heat took a liking to the NBA Finals. Three years earlier, he was already in the Heat workforce, when he faced the Lakers at the same stage of the competition. But he didn’t come on and only made one 15-second appearance throughout the playoffs.
Gabe Vincent has since changed status. Author of his best career season, with just under 10 points on average, he increased this total to nearly 13 points in the playoffs, where he was a permanent starter (22 games).
” People didn’t know who I was two years ago. After the game against USA (note: Nigeria had beaten “Team USA” in preparation for the 2021 Olympics thanks to its 21 points), some knew my middle name (Nnamdi) but didn’t even know my first name was Gabe. Now they might know a little more about what I can do on the court but I think I’m an example of what can happen when someone gets an opportunity », formulates the leader.
One of the lowest salaries in the final
Now well established in the NBA landscape, the undrafted player is about to live the offseason of his life. This season, he received 1.8 million dollars, the lowest salary, with that, identical, of Max Strus, among the most mobilized players in the NBA Finals against the Nuggets. “Free agent”, he should be able to break the bank without worry. The challenge is whether Miami will find the financial means to keep it.
“ I’ve never been better than here in Miami. Money plays a role, setting plays a role, location plays a role. There are a lot of things that come into play and I think it will all happen on its own over the summer. Obviously I spent all my time in the NBA with the Heat, except for my brief G-League stint with Sacramento. I have developed excellent relationships with the organization and the staff. I am very grateful for the opportunity they gave me “, develops Gabe Vincent, who says to himself “ proud of the journey accomplished by this group.
