After two summer league games in Las Vegas, Miami Heat second-year forward Jaime Jaquez begins focusing on next season
Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez confirmed Monday was his last summer league game. He played two games before leaving Las Vegas.
"It is my last one," Jaquez said. "I got a flight out tonight. I've been here since last Friday. Vegas, I've been here too long." Jaquez was mainly there to participate for the Team USA Select Team to practice against the Olympic team before heading to France. He was allowed to work with the likes Steph Curry, LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
"It was incredible just to be around such an elite group of guys," Jaquez said. "I mean, it's a blessing and a great honor. Steph Curry, `Bron, KD, all of those guys have pioneered this league for so long. All of us sharing the same court and the fact I got to go there and help prepare for the Olympics was a special opportunity.
"My teammates setting me up," Christopher said. "It got to the point I was just feeling unconscious. I just trusted myself and just let it go.""He just blacked out," Jaquez said. "He went unconscious. That was incredible, so much fun to watch. I was sitting on the bench and telling him, `Keep shooting.' Even when I got in, I said, `Pass it to Josh. He's got the hot hand.' I was just so happy for him.
