My Take

Cole is my kind of underdog story. Coming out of Cleveland State rather than a blue-blood program, then winning back-to-back NBA titles with the 2012 and 2013 Miami Heat in his first two seasons, is a debut almost nobody can match. I respect that he reached the playoffs in all but one of his seven NBA years, the mark of a guard you trust when it matters. That he later kept competing down in Puerto Rico's BSN tells me everything about his love for the game. He earned his rings through grind, not pedigree, and that resonates with me.

Overview

Norris Gene Cole II (born October 13, 1988) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Osos de Manatí of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN). A 6-foot-2 point guard, he is a two-time NBA champion, winning back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013 with the Miami Heat in his first and second years in the NBA. In his seven NBA seasons, Cole made the playoffs all but once (2016).
