Miami Heat assistant coach Caron Butler joins the show to about his new book CLUTCHTIME. He wrote it with his co-author Justin A. Reynolds and this week they gave out free copies to hundreds of Miami-Dade students as part of the Books & Books Literary Foundation.

Wes Goldberg talks to Caron Butler about his motivation and Kobe Bryant's role behind writing his third book before discussing Bam Adebayo’s growth as a leader, why Bam hasn’t won Defensive Player of the Year, the Heat being hungry after last season’s disappointing ending and Jimmy Butler’s approach to this coming season. Then Wes talks about the most recent injury updates on Terry Rozier and Nikola Jovic.
