Free-agent center Hassan Whiteside announced on Snapchat early Friday morning that he would get paid and remain with the Miami Heat. Then, he went to the zoo.

After agreeing to sign for nearly $100 million over four years, the seven-foot shot blocker walked around a zoo, saying hello and teasing different animals, and announcing that his favorite species was the tiger. Then, he got some ice cream and did a peacock dance.

It’s a great day to be Hassan Whiteside.

Tony the Tiger may be great, but he ain’t do it with blocks though.
