A similar deal is on offer from REI for those in the States wishing to shell out a small…

The Heat’s main star recently came back from an injury, so everyone was crossing their fingers hoping for the best.  The small forward was experiencing physical pains during the match, which inevitably raised concerns among fans and the team’s staff, which ultimately led to him being taken out of the game for the entire final period.
