Ah, the sun-kissed city of Miami.
Home to white-sand beaches, delicious Cuban cuisine, and, of course, beautiful sunshine. A paradise situated on the Southern tip of Florida, Miami has it all. Even NFL star Tyreek Hill, the Dolphins traded for earlier this week.
Aside from his lightning-quick touchdowns, Hill is known for his audacity. It’s not enough that he incinerates a poor safety’s pursuit angle in the blink of an eye. He has to rub in just how much better he is at football than them.
Hill’s most famous celebration is the “peace sign” he holds up in a hapless defender’s face as he cruises across the end line. He’s done it enough that it’s synonymous with his player profile.
And during the Heat-Nets game on Saturday night, in the middle of a laugher in Miami, Nets center Andrew Drummond decided to commemorate Hill joining the greater South Florida community:
He flashed the peace sign before finishing a dunk.

Hilarious. Like the announcing crew, I can’t get over the panache.
I’ll be honest, Dear Reader. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a 6-foot-10, 280-pound man have the wherewithal to pour salt in the wound mid-play. I guess Drummond is built different.
I also guess that’s what happens in the middle of a road blowout: You channel the trademark of one of the city’s top stars to dance on the grave.

Miami (+2.5) would go onto lose 110-92—the fourth consecutive defeat for a Heat team that looked like a title favorite until the last week proved otherwise.
