Make no mistake about it—former Miami Heat center and forward Udonis Haslem is the franchise. The Miami native and Florida product played 20 seasons with the team, had his number retired despite averaging double figure scoring in just four seasons and currently works for the team as vice president of basketball development.
Accordingly, when Haslem speaks, Heat fans listen—and he spoke on NBA Today Wednesday, ever so briefly, to address Miami's stalemate with forward Jimmy Butler.
