Robert Hite Update

Hite's development has come at the team's confidence in him combined with his natural talent. Being given a chance, if you will. Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

But, this young kid from Cincinnati, Ohio has never been afraid of hard work to achieve any task or obstacle thrown at him. People said he was too small, not strong enough, that he couldn't handle the rock. That same detracting mentality is why Gilbert Arenas wears the number '0' ... and pops 60-point games on bona fide superstars.

Hite will get there someday. he's certainly in the right support network.  "I've just been trying to prove people wrong my whole life," he said. "All I can do is just play hard and keep working and hopefully everything works out for me."

It will for Hite and it will for the Heat, because of the way this team embraces one another and moves forward. It's respectable, to say the least. And thought it's not measurable on paper, in the end, they'll win more games because of it.
