In the NBA, the improbable often turns out to be the reality. Before the playoffs, no one had an eighth seed making it to the NBA finals with a chance to become the champions. However, the Miami Heat pulled off the unthinkable. Led by Jimmy Butler, they went through the best of the East recently ending the Boston Celtics‘ chance at making history. The Heat fans are unsurprisingly out celebrating, shouting Jimmy Butler and the Heat’s chants.

Yet, there is one superfan who celebrated in the most ‘South Beach’ way, even gaining the acknowledgment of Dwyane Wade. This millionaire rapper showed off his personal franchise collection. And to top it off, he might have made the fans jealous with a certain possession on his finger.

Rick Ross is considered as one of the leading rappers of the modern era. He made headlines a few days ago for his annual car show. But he was seen more as a troublemaker. As one of the trucks entered his estate, it knocked out a few wires. This left over 200 people without any power as reported by Yahoo. It’s safe to say, the $45 million worth rapper isn’t adored by his neighbors, who have wanted to abandon his car show.

But as a Miami Heat fan, Ross doesn’t disappoint. Hailing from Dade County, Ross has always had the Heat’s shield on his back. Once he propelled to success, he managed to create a great relationship with the franchise, some of its stars, and even Pat Riley. At the beginning of this season, his single ‘Push It’ even debuted as the Heat’s intro theme.

Expectedly, the rapper has closely followed the team’s incredible postseason. The Heat successfully punched their ticket to the NBA finals. A mighty win against the Celtics in Game 7 did the job.

But he and Ross both probably know, it isn’t time to celebrate just yet. Yes, the Heat have had a Cinderella run to the NBA Finals. But for them, all that matters is winning the trophy, to once again be champions of the NBA. After falling short in 2020, this time, Jimmy Butler might come with a sense of vengeance.
