Udonis Haslem's jersey must hang in the rafters one day.

Retire Haslem's jersey when the run is over.

I don't care if he isn't all time Hall of Fame material. He is a Miami Heat Hall of Fame material. The man has been 305 since the day he first entered the league and played for the Heat.

I will be highly pissed if the Heat don't retire Haslem's jersey in the rafters. He's a legend to all Heat fans. In the future, fans of other teams might look at Haslem's jersey in the AAA rafters and then go look up his Statistics and ask "WTF he isnt great!" but every Heat fan will know why he is up there.

Haslem didn't become a Heat legend because he opted out,

He opted out because he's already a Heat legend.

I have no doubt his # will be up there. He deserves it. Embodies everything a heat player should be since Riley took over.

He is the Heat embodied. He might get a statue too;)

We better, we fkin hanged Jordan's number which made us the laughingstock in terms of jersey rafters.

Take the guy who destroyed us in the 90s down and raise Haslem's!

I got into an argument a few years back on the GB about this, there were the people who I thought I was crazy, and the **** Celtics fans who were all "just goes to show how bad a franchise that is if they have to retire his jersey" (meanwhile they've retired the jerseys of defensive role players, but nevermind facts lol). But to me it's just so obvious, the dude is Miami Heat basketball, and he should be associated with the franchise however long he wants and have his jersey retired for sure.

Forget hanging a jersey. Name the rafters after him.

Miami has Jordan's #23 is up there and he never played a min in a heat jersey ( I know because the relationship with Riley) UD's jersey is a lock to go up.

Yep we should retire his number

He has been loyal as hell, even when we are frustrated with him he puts the team first

This dude embodies everything a Heat player should be with his hustle and heart, though sad to see him basically declining but his heart would still be on the court. He was also an enforcer. Just everything a Heat player should be

That move paid off on draft night.

Was this ever a question? This man personifies what it means to be a Miami Heat player.
