Not too often do you see players make it from the Division Two ranks all the way to the bright lights of the NBA. But that's exactly what Haywood Highsmith has been able to do hailing from Wheeling University in West Virginia, and now earning a multiyear contract with the Miami Heat.

We discuss his decision to go the G League route after winning the D2 player of the year award instead of going overseas, as well as the process navigating the G League en route to earning a call up with the Philadelphia 76ers.

We also dive into what led him to leave his team in Italy to bet on himself and try for a return to the NBA in 2021. A decision that ended up changing his career forever.

Lastly, we dive into his time on the Miami Heat playing alongside future Hall Of Famers like Jimmy Butler and Kyle Lowry, and what that season was like last year being a shot away from the NBA finals. What exactly is Heat Culture? Who's the best dressed player on the team?
