"Homegrown Heat" is an article by Dan Le Batard on ESPN about the unique story of three Miami Heat NBA players who grew up in Miami. The story considers the rarity of homegrown talent in professional basketball due to the global hunt for players, and the pride and challenges this brings for these players. Despite potential setbacks like injuries or being benched, these players express gratitude for the opportunity and the personal significance of playing for their hometown.

Hate the #miamiheat, but this @espn article has some really nice animation/scrolling techniques:
