The offseason is not only a time for players to work on their game, it also serves as a time to explore other interests and business opportunities.
While hooping down at the Orlando Summer League, Miami Heat guards Justise Winslow and Josh Richardson have been wearing custom made hats and revealed that they are planning on selling them at some point in the near future.
From ESPN’s Nick Friedell
“It’s just sort of a lifestyle,” Winslow said after Tuesday’s summer league win over the Orlando Magic’s blue team. “A kind of lifestyle motto — Really, Really Good. Everything from the way I look, the way I play, to the way I carry myself off the court. Everything is just really, really good. It’s more of a lifestyle.”
Winslow wasn’t the only one rocking a self-created hat. Heat guard Josh Richardson had one with the words “Hat Trick” emblazoned on it. Richardson said the pair got the idea by going into a Lids store one day and getting creative with their choice of words.
“I just liked it,” Richardson said. “I made it. I went to the store, and I made it. I guess I’ve got a creative bone. … I thought it was funny. There’s no real significance to it. I was out, and I was like, “Oh, hat trick!” I’ve got to make a hat that says that.”
Winslow was quick to point out that he has several other hat options.
“We got a bunch,” he said, before rattling off several other embroidered hats from his burgeoning catalog. “I got a mood hat. Libations hat. I got a El Jefe hat. I got a NASA hat. I got a Shenanigans hats. I got everything. … They’ll be in stores soon.”
