Second-rounder Pelle Larsson Makes Summer Statement As Heat Embrace The Swede Life

There was no push, no thrust, no insistence that as he grew into what is now a 6-foot-6, 215-pound frame that basketball had to be Pelle Larsson’s destiny. That, the Miami Heat second-round pick out of Arizona said, simply is not the Swedish way. “I don’t really  think we have that culture in Sweden, because I think sport, in general, is just kind of secondary to education and everything else,” the Stockholm native said ahead of the Heat’s Monday night appearance in the championship game of the Las Vegas NBA Summer League.
