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.
