The Heat’s Big 3 stars want Juwan Howard at Michigan

By now, you’ve probably seen the Miami Heat Beat/Five Reasons Sports Network report that Juwan Howard is expected to be offered, and accept, the head coaching job at the University of Michigan.

If not, here it is.

While some in the media and Twittersphere are discrediting it, two people who are not?

His former Big 3 teammates, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.

Wade saw the aggregation of our report on Bleacher Report, and James saw Wade’s tweet.

And not surprisingly, both are in favor — as would be Chris Bosh, who was very close to Howard when they played together with the Heat, their families spending a lot of time together. The Heat continued to call Howard “17” even after he was playing — sparingly, like Udonis Haslem now — into his 19th season. It’s like he never aged. Also, both James and Wade have been big proponents of black coaching prospects getting more opportunities, and backed former Heat assistant Fizdale, who filled the communicator role on the Heat staff prior to Howard.

Now we see when it’s confirmed.

Talk to me nice. Say it is so!!!? My guy deserves this opportunity. This will only be right https://t.co/TWWH4UuiTZ

And then LeBron…

Man WHAT!!!!?? Absolutely the right choice and i hope it becomes a done deal ASAP!! One of my favorite people I’ve ever met at the age of 16 and been around since then. 🙏🏾 https://t.co/hdmF60odnm

It makes you wonder if James wanted Howard to coach the Lakers rather than Frank Vogel.
