SALTY DOG
NBA ROLE: VETERAN POWER FORWARD
D-Wade, Rick Ross, Dan Marino, Udonis Haslem – What do they have in common? They’re all Miami legends; a 90s tough guy transported to this new, “no-more-hand-checking” era, UD is an authentic UnderDOG* who played a key role in shaping Miami’s championship culture; a beloved member of the HEAT organization, Haslem epitomizes leadership and toughness in the locker room; these days, Haslem’s stats are mainly confined to inspirational speeches & wisdom imparted on younger players, though Coach Erik Spoelstra occasionally summons the 3-time champ for minutes – UD’s still available to hit his patented midrange J & take a few charges; entering 20TH! NBA campaign: Haslem’s a #heatlifer – UD is a lock to have his #40 retired someday
