Norman Powell was taken aback by the trade to the Miami Heat, expressing his surprise after having a career year with the Clippers. He looked forward to joining Miami, citing admiration for the organization and his childhood idol, Dwyane Wade. Powell believes he embodies the Heat's hardworking culture and is prepared to sacrifice for team success. He considers himself versatile, capable of excelling in various roles and is open to being a key contributor without the need for a primary focus on his ego.
I didn't know what to think at first. It has been a crazy last couple of weeks... I had a career year and expected an extension from the Clippers.
I've had a couple guys say amazing things about the organization. Thinking back to my childhood, being a big fan of Dwyane Wade. Playing for Heat was a childhood dream.
I'm extremely hard working. Going to Miami -- I fit the culture perfectly... I've hung my hat on making my weaknesses my strengths and my strengths even better.
I see myself as a plug guy... I don't have a big ego of 'I have to be the main guy.' I've not been shy to say I can be a starter, an All Star if given the opportunity.
