Nassau, Bahamas – On the final day of the Miami Heat’s training camp at Atlantis Resorts, head coach Erik Spoelstra was presented with a oil painting from the world famous Celebrity Artist, Jamaal Rolle. 

Life-like images of Pat Riley, Miami Heat president, Micky Arison, Miami Heat owner and Erik Spoelstra, head coach were featured in the 24-inch x 36-inch portrait valued at $20,000.00.

“Who is that guy?” tweeted Ethan J. Skolnick a reporter from Turner Sports.  That question was later re-tweeted by Heat owner, Micky Arison with the photo of Coach Erik and Jamaal Rolle.    Spoelstra also commented to Rolle, “I look better on the portrait and I will hang it at the Miami Heat office.”

Thanks to Distinguished Enterprises’ founder and president Roni Duncombe and colleague Tanya Maycock who were instrumental in arranging for Randy Mims, manager of LeBron James of the Miami Heat to view the portrait before the presentation to Coach Erik.  Mims was familiar with Jamaal Rolle’s work when two years prior, Distinguish Enterprises had commissioned Rolle to draw LeBron James and Dwayne Wade.  Mims was “amazed and awed” at the executive portrait and said that Rolle will be hired to paint portraits of the team.

Duncome said, “I am proud to support Bahamian entrepreneurs and a great artist like Jamaal Rolle.  We have admired his talents for a long time.”

On the international front, the portrait presentation was featured on ABC’s WPLG Channel 10 Miami and Fort Lauderdale News, Channel 7 WSVB, Turner Sports as well on the Miami Heat website. On October 25, 2013 at 8:30 pm, the Miami Heat Camp will be featured on Channel 10, Miami and it is planned for this Miami Heat executive portrait presentation to be part of that story.
