5 with the Florida Flame


The Florida Flame enter their first season as the destination for Baby HEAT players. The team, which plays its games at the Germain Arena in Estero, Florida, outside of Fort Myers, Florida, has the right to host HEAT players who have less than 2 years of experience. The Flame will also host players from the Orlando Magic, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Boston Celtics, all under the loving control of first year Flame Head Coach Jeff Malone.

Earlier this Friday afternoon, Mr. Tim Becwar, of the Florida Flame, was kind enough to join MiamiHeatWave.com in a Flame Q&A session.

1. What makes the Flame different from previous SWFLA Basketball teams?

"This is the best [basketball] talent outside of the NBA."


2. What have the Flame been up to in the community?
The NBA, WNBA, NBDL, and the Florida Flame all back the "Read to Achieve" literacy initiative and hope to aid local charities in Southwest Florida. We are locally owned and operated.


3. The Germain Arena is a great place for almost any event, but will Flame games be affordable?
Games will be affordable to attend. Tickets will start at $9 a game for an End Zone Bowl seat.


4. What will the games feel like to attend?
Games will be family-friendly, entertaining, and a great value. All within an easy and familiar drive from anywhere in Southwest Florida.


5. Where can fans tune into to follow the Flame on the road or those times they cannot make it out to Germain Arena?
At this time we are working on a radio package, we hope to announce it soon, but we cannot at this time.
