Christmas Video Of Fan Receiving A Miami Heat Jersey Draws Warm Reaction From Caleb Martin

Social media is often a place athletes and fans trade hateful jabs.

That wasn't the case with a recent video posted of a Miami Heat fan receiving a Caleb Martin jersey for Christmas. When Martin saw the video, retweeted it and posted this message: "That’s love made my day . happy holidays!"

The jersey didn't arrive on Christmas as expected, so the family was unsure if the son was going to be able to wear it to Wednesday's Heat-Lakers game. It arrived just in time.

Wasn't sure it was gonna happen, but a late Christmas miracle came through. Supposedly was a lost package. The only present he asked for was this Heat jersey. Now he can wear it for the heat vs Laker game! @Calebmartin14 pic.twitter.com/8qLPrcTpid

Martin has started all season for the Heat, becoming a key contributor after being originally signed as a two-way player.

"His versatility is vital to our group," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Night after night after night, he's taking on all the different challenges this league can present. Whether he's guarding the small, super-quick guys or whether he's guarding the bigger wings or that he's switching onto centers ... Our defense seems to be more active and fast when he's out on the court. He's a playmaker out there, which fits with Jimmy (Butler) and Bam (Adebayo)."
