Tonight at the NBA All-Star Game, Norman Powell represents the Miami Heat as a FIRST-TIME All-Star — and he’s earned every bit of it. Norman Powell is having a career year, averaging 23 points per game and playing some of the most efficient, confident basketball of his career. At 32 years old, he’s elevated his game at the perfect time… but it also happens to be the final year of his contract. After being asked about his future with the Miami Heat, Powell made it clear — he wants to stay in Miami long-term.
