The NBA Trade Deadline Mixed It Up Something Wild

Kiwi Steve in the NBA #13: Scrapping Away

There was good news before tip-off, with that old pesky ankle injury not about to stop Kiwi Steve from getting to work against the Miami Heat. Certainly didn’t look like it was holding him back much when he rose all the way up for a little bit of this on the first possession of the game…

The commanding dunks are just the icing on the cake. He’s got a bit of range to his shooting as well, making three triples against Perth last game.
