Chet Holmgren Criticizes Miami Heat Fans' Attendance

Oklahoma City Thunder star Chet Holmgren recently commented on the Miami Heat's fan attendance, noting that the arena often feels 'empty' until the fourth quarter. Holmgren's remarks, made on the 'Road Trippin'' podcast, were met with agreement from co-hosts Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye, as well as Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler, who has similarly criticized fans for arriving late. Holmgren later clarified on social media that his comments were meant to highlight the crowd's late arrivals and the improved atmosphere during close games. Despite Holmgren's limited experience playing in Miami due to injuries, his statements have sparked debate and criticism from Heat fans. The discussion underscores a long-standing perception of Miami Heat fans as late-comers, a reputation that has persisted over the years.
