As the Miami Heat are in the midst of a much-needed All-Star break<\/a>, one of the few players representing the team this weekend is Norman Powell<\/a>. With the Heat star in Powell earning<\/a> All-Star honors for the first time, which has been a goal of his for a while, he mentions why this season has come full circle in a certain way.<\/p>\n

Powell was considered an All-Star snub by many last season with the Los Angeles Clippers, as he stood out as an offensive gutpunch for the team, especially when they were dealing with injuries to Kawhi Leonard and others.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to this year, and Powell has shone for Miami, leading with 23 points per game, but the reason why he believes this \u201ccompletes the story\u201d<\/a> is that the All-Star festivities take place in his former home of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this completes the story,\u201d Powell said, according to The Miami Herald. \u201cI think it\u2019s like something that you can\u2019t even write down or think of. It wasn\u2019t like, \u2018Oh, the All-Star Game is in L.A. Now I\u2019m definitely trying to make it.\u2019 I think it just happens that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI really thought that I\u2019d be an All-Star last year with the team, and it didn\u2019t happen,\u201d Powell continued, referencing this time with the Clippers. \u201cMoves are made, and then the venue is actually where you just got traded from, and you get selected to be one and go back there in front of the fans, in front of that organization. I think it\u2019s just a nice little Easter egg to the story of my career.\u201d<\/p>\n

At any rate, Powell looks to further help the Heat as the team is at a 29-27 record, putting them at the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the Miami Heat are in the midst of a much-needed All-Star break, one of the few players…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":603224,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3778],"tags":[7,144,295,189,3881,6,7218,558],"class_list":{"0":"post-603223","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miami-heat","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-heat","10":"tag-miami","11":"tag-miami-heat","12":"tag-miamiheat","13":"tag-nba","14":"tag-nba-all-star-game","15":"tag-norman-powell"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116070525376740377","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=603223"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603223\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/603224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=603223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=603223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=603223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
