The Miami Heat brought Udonis Haslem back for a few reasons. The most important is because he is a voice of reason and leadership in the locker room.

The Miami Heat’s longest-tenured player, Udonis Haslem, is returning for his eighteenth season and all with the same franchise. It shows new players and young players what the ” Culture” is about.

Haslem is the “OG” of the franchise and has the respect of everyone in the organization, from the top down.
