In honor of the NBA finals, the Royal Courier is offering a “throwback” opportunity for the ILS community to appreciate not only the Miami Heat team, but also recognize their coach, Erik Spoelstra.
To the surprise of many basketball fans, and the delight of everyone in the 305, the Heat have made it to the NBA finals.
Did you know the Miami Heat built and use ILS’s basketball Gym?
