Position: PF
Age: 41
Height: 203 cm
Weight: 107 kg

Last season the 41-year-old (2.03) played only 1 game and scored 4 points. In two minutes he managed to get ejected, making the 40-year-old Haslem the oldest player in the last 20 years to be forced to leave the court.

Haslem has won three NBA titles in 2006, 2012, and 2013.

A team captain for the past 14 seasons, he has averaged 7.6 points and 6.7 rebounds per game in 859 appearances (500 starts). He was originally signed as an undrafted free agent in August 2003 out of Florida.

The Heats legend's contract and 19th season in Miami make him the 5th player in NBA history to have been part of a single franchise for 19 or more seasons joining Dirk Nowitzki, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, and John Stockton.

This upcoming season will be Haslem's 19th with the Heat.
