Whiteside: ‘I’m Not Given Anything, I Just Take It’

The Heat’s Hassan Whiteside finished fourth after averaging 11.8 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks in his first season with Miami after spending two years overseas.
Hassan didn’t expect to win the award, admitting as much on Twitter when a fan proffered his name.
Whiteside’s season averages don’t really do him justice, though, because as he stated in the tweet, they correlate to 23.8 minutes.
