Rafer Alston on the 2004 Heat

NYC legend and 11-year pro Rafer "Skip 2 My Lou" Alston joins Forgotten Seasons to talk 2003/04 Heat. This was a defining year in Alston's career, playing big minutes for the first time and setting him up for a coveted long-term contract. D Wade enters the scene as a rookie and shows his greatness early, leading the team in playoff ppg (18.0). Rafer and D Wade were surrounded by Lamar Odom, Caron Butler, Udonis Haslem and coached by Stan Van Gundy. They won 42 games, finished as the #4 seed in the East and lost to a 61 win Pacers squad in round 2.
