Entire Miami Heat Team Attends Udonis Haslem Jersey Retirement At Miami High
Miami Heat forward Udonis Haslem has given his all to the organization the past 20 years.
On Tuesday, the Heat returned the favor.
The entire roster, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra and several staff members were on hand for Haslem’s jersey retirement at Miami Senior High School. Haslem starred there, winning state titles in 1997 and 1998.
“I think it’s really cool,” Spoelstra said. “He’ll have his number retired at every single place that he’s been, at Miami High, Florida, here. That says something. That’s not nothing. To me, I’m a coach, that just screams winner.”
Haslem, who will retire from the NBA at the end of this season, was appreciative of his teammates being in attendance. He viewed it as the ultimate showing of respect.
“It feels good to be celebrated, appreciated and take a little time to reflect,” Haslem said. “…It all started here.”
