Udonis Haslem has enjoyed a charmed 20-season NBA career.
The Miami Heat icon has been a party to all seven of the franchise’s NBA Finals appearances, and now he owns a league record that stands as a testimony to his longevity.
Haslem, who will turn 43 on Friday, became the oldest player to appear in an NBA Finals game when he checked into Game 3 in the final minute Wednesday night at Kaseya Center in Miami. He attempted one shot from the field and missed, as the Nuggets beat the Heat, 109–94, to take a 2–1 lead in the best-of-seven Finals.
