In a shocking turn of events, a former Miami Heat Center’s monumental $15.8 million personal decision has finally come to light, and it’s sending shockwaves through the NBA community. The news, which emerged on Sunday, has left fans and analysts alike wondering what led to this massive choice, and what it might mean for the future of the team and the player themselves.

Former Miami Heat star center Hassan Whiteside made a big name and a big bank account for himself during his time in the NBA. Whiteside spent five seasons with the Heat during his prime, emerging as one of the premier low-post defenders and scorers in the league.

The 7-footer was with Miami from 2014 to 2019, when he became a favorite of Heat fans. His shot blocking, glass cleaning and power in the paint drew the attention of local supporters and national publications.

On Sunday, over a year after retiring from basketball, Whiteside is making more headlines, but this time, due to an off-court decision.

Whiteside has listed his Miami waterfront mansion on the market for $15.8 million, according to TMZ. The mammoth of a house stands on 18,000 square feet of gated area with 90 feet of waterfront on Surprise Lake in Miami Beach.

This home is equipped with five bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms, large open spaces in the living and dining areas, marble and hardwood floors, and a chef’s kitchen. It also has a ton of added amenities like a rooftop lounge, garage turned into a gym, custom bar, movie theater and an aquarium.

In Whiteside’s five years with the Heat, he averaged 14.1 points, 11.9 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game. This included leading the league in blocks with 3.7 per contest during the 2015-16 season and rebounds with 14.1 per game in 2016-17.

While he made over $100 million in his NBA career, this decision to sell his Miami mansion will give Whiteside another big paycheck in retirement.
