On Monday, it was announced that Udonis Haslem would be returning to the Miami Heat for his 16th season in the league.
A decision that many saw coming, but perhaps not for the correct reasons.
At 38, the veteran doesn’t have to play anymore. He’s won three championships. Raked in enough cash. Earned a name for himself.
So despite what some may think, Haslem isn’t continuing on with the Heat for another paycheck or to prove his worth.
And it’s not because he just can’t let go of the lifestyle either.
