But he then surprised his mother, who said she liked this particular house, with keys to her dream home.
She then hugged her son and was brought to tears over the grand gesture.
The home is believed to be located in Hassan's home state of North Carolina.
Whiteside, who was a journeyman and had to play overseas to keep his basketball career alive, was a long shot to stay in the NBA, but overcame the odds and signed a $98 million dollar contract with the Heat last summer.
