NBA: triple champion with Miami, Haslem retires at 43

Udonis Haslem, who won three titles with the Miami Heat, announced his retirement from the NBA on Friday afternoon. The 43-year-old strong winger announced his decision in an Instagram post.

Haslem, who was not drafted by the University of Florida, holds the Heat's rebounding record. This season he became the oldest player to appear in the NBA Finals, playing Game 3 last month against the Denver Nuggets.

"I consider myself extremely blessed to be able to say that I can leave this game with no regrets," Haslem wrote on Instagram. Championships, accolades, brotherhood, man, it's hard not to be at peace."

“Although this trip has had its ups and downs, I am truly grateful and have no complaints at all. I even left money on the table to stay in my town. Thanks to you, Miami, it was all worth it!”

“I will always be the OG, but it's time for the family man and businessman to get down to business.

Haslem was limited to seven regular season games with the Heat in 2022-23. He also participated in two recovery games.

The 20-year veteran has played his entire NBA career with Miami, appearing in a total of 879 games (501 starts).

He was part of the championship teams in 2012 and 2013 alongside LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. He also won a title in 2006 alongside Wade and Shaquille O'Neal.

During his career, Haslem averaged 7.5 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.
