Miami Heat Erik Spoelstra

THE BASKETBALL SEASON IS OVER BUT NOT FOR THE MIAMI HEAT.    THE REASON:  BECAUSE OF ERIK JON SPOELSTRA, THE CURRENT HEAD COACH OF MIAMI HEAT.  He was born in Evanston, Illinois on November 1, 1970 of Filipino mother, Elisa Celino from San Pablo, Laguna and an Irish-Dutch father, an NBA executive.   His paternal grandfather Watson is a longtime sports writer.






Dwayne Wade and Coach Spoelstra

He is the first Asian American head coach of the National Basketball Association (NBA).  He served as assistant coach and director for scouting of the team from 2001 to 2008.  He became head coach when Pat Riley picked Spoelstra to succeed him.  In his first six seasons he guided Heat to six consecutive playoff appearances, including trips to the 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 NBA Finals, winning the NBA championship in 2012 and 2013.  

Yes, the Heat is on!  March Madness is just around the corner.

In every street corner of the Philippines there's a basketball court, favorite sport of Filipinos.  Basketball is in his blood and DNA.

No problem.  I drink Chicago tap water - the best in the world. And the best water filtration plant in the world. Bottled water may be bad for the environment but necessary for humanitarian reason -  good in sending to disaster areas.
