Miami Heat: Pat Riley Validates, As He Gushes Over Udonis Haslem’s Return

How so though? More importantly but almost as irrelevant if you get it, why?

Again, it may all be irrelevant, especially if the next little tidbit is of any indication. On the instance of Haslem returning to the team for a 19th year, Pat Riley recently had this to say, per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

"Mister Miami is back! Yes! Udonis Haslem has agreed to come back and play the game he loves so much."

"What he loves more than that is to be on the court teaching and competing against the World’s best. UD is a legacy player…ONE PLAYER, ONE CITY, ONE TEAM. Thank you UD, for coming back to lead again in your city, your organization and your team."

Gushing over the man that has been with the team that represents the city that he loves, represents to the fullest, and grew up in for the entirety of his 19 year NBA career, Pat Riley’s opinion should be the end all be all when it comes to the debate about Udonis Haslem and his place with the Miami Heat.
