Months after his retirement from basketball, the Miami Heat have hired Udonis Haslem as the team’s Vice President of Basketball Development.
In a report from The Sun Sentinel, Haslem’s job is to represent the Miami Heat organization in the community and in business endeavors. In addition, the former NBA player will be tasked with helping in the development of Miami and Sioux Falls Skyforce players. Sioux Falls Skyforce is the Heat’s G-League affiliate.
“Born and raised in Miami, UD has been an integral part of the success of the HEAT for 20 years,” Heat president Pat Riley said in a statement. “It’s great that he has chosen to continue to build on his incredible legacy here in Miami, where he belongs.”
Haslem played his entire 20-year career with the Heat. He registered career averages of 7.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 0.8 assists per game. The undersized center was a pivotal part of Miami’s three championships.
