Haslem is 6’8″ and weighs 235 pounds. Udonis Johneal Haslem was born on June 9, 1980 in Miami, Florida. Haslem first played high school basketball in Jacksonville but transferred to Miami Senior High soon afterward. The school was a perennial powerhouse in state basketball and with Haslem’s help they won state titles in 1997 and 1998.

He spent a year playing professionally in France and lost 70 pounds, after which he came back to the U.S.
The Miami Heat signed Haslem in 2003 and immediately showed his worth being named to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team in 2003. He would go on to win a starting spot as power forward a year later and has become an integral part of the team since then, including the teams that won NBA Titles in 2006, 2012 and 2013. Haslem is characterized by his tough-nosed spirit and game, including being a tenacious rebounder and defender who is able to knock down open jump shots.
