Udonis Haslem has become a bit of a meme within the NBA community. At 42 years old, the man still has an NBA contract… despite getting mere minutes in total throughout an entire NBA season.

Now, of course, this is by no means his fault. At his age, most NBA players have already hung up their sneakers to do other things in life. But Haslem has stayed committed.

Not only has he stayed fit enough to be able to stay with one of the most intense organizations in the NBA, but the man is also getting playing time on a contending team.

That’s far more than most people in the world can say. And it appears that Udonis Haslem finally wants that to be apparent to all the fans mocking him, as he took aim at a fan on Instagram.

And his shot couldn’t have been any better.

Udonis Haslem isn’t one of those people that just sits tight and waits for the punch to come. No, he’d probably the first swinging if someone even thought about doing it to him.

Still, when it comes to all the age-related jokes made by fans of the NBA, he had kept his silence for a long time.

But apparently, he has finally had enough. As his comment on a recent IG post by Bleacher Report showed, he isn’t afraid to snap right back at fans anymore.

Ah yes. The all-time classic comeback.

Udonis Haslem’s body may be slowing down. But it appears that his brain still remains ripe to dish out comebacks to every NBA fan on the planet.

And we couldn’t be more for it.

How much does Udonis Haslem make with the Miami Heat?

Udonis Haslem has been in the league for quite some time, 19 whole years, in fact. That’s just one less than LeBron James.

But of course, he doesn’t get on the court an awful much. So, how much does he make per season?

Well, as of the time of writing, the man is on a 1 year, $2.9 Million deal with the Heat.

Some might say that’s a massive overpay considering he doesn’t get on the court much. However, for his locker room presence, it appears that the Miami Heat are more than ready to pay up.
