In the age of the internet, one second can change a person’s life. Few know that more now than Meyers Leonard.
On April 13, Leonard — the embattled NBA free agent and former Heat player — met with University of Miami students at an event hosted by UM’s Hillel called From HEAT to Healing.
As he tells it, Leonard was living a “dream” and was “incredibly blessed” to be doing what millions dream of and only about 500 people get to do for a living, playing in the NBA. That was, until one word changed his life.
