Emo Jimmy: Udonis Haslem on his hate for the Celtics “I like Tatum, brown, but them old Mfers KG and Paul, I don’t f*ck with yall” “If I see yall in the grocery store its on, it can be aisle 7/11 around the cheese dip, all of its getting flipped over” That’s my captain! 😭🔥 -via Twitter / December 27, 2023
Even though Haslem’s playing career is over and his Heat jersey is now retired, he’ll remain around the organization. The Heat hired him as the vice president of basketball development in November and he still hopes to become part of the Heat’s ownership group one day. “To be able to get out, make it, excel and succeed, I hope it’s a great example for other kids in Miami, in Liberty City and for my kids, as well,” Haslem said. “… This is a dream come true.” -via Miami Herald / January 20, 2024
Udonis Haslem spent 20 seasons wearing a Miami Heat jersey. Now, his jersey will forever hang from the rafters in the Heat’s home arena. During a halftime ceremony in the middle of Friday night’s game between the Heat and Atlanta Hawks at Kaseya Center, Haslem’s No. 40 jersey was retired by the organization. Haslem, 43, became the sixth Heat player to have his jersey retired, joining Alonzo Mourning, Tim Hardaway, Shaquille O’Neal, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade. “Look at the list of the guys I’m sitting with,” Haslem said, referring to the first five Heat players who had their jerseys retired and are already in the Basketball Hall of Fame. “That’s what’s huge to me. That’s what makes me feel so amazing is the core group of guys that I’m sitting with. Pat Riley ain’t just putting anybody up there. The Arisons ain’t just OK’ing anybody to go up in those rafters.” -via Miami Herald / January 20, 2024
Haslem, who was born at Miami’s North Shore Medical Center and grew up in Liberty City before playing at Miami High, then dedicated a part of his speech to his hometown of Miami — the area code 305. “Liberty City, Overtown, Little Havana, Little Haiti, everybody, tonight when this jersey goes up in the rafters, all of y’all coming with me,” Haslem said during the speech. “The love y’all show me in this city, I love you guys, I appreciate you guys. …. 305, you got to hold it up. You got to hold up the 305. Tonight, we all celebrate, 305.” -via Miami Herald / January 20, 2024
