Miami Heat star Giannis Antetokounmpo has spoken positively about Udonis Haslem and his involvement with the team, saying he has enjoyed working with the former Miami forward.

Haslem, who spent more than 20 years with the organization as a player, has regularly approached Antetokounmpo to discuss practices and ask for his feedback.

“He’s great. He’s honest. He’s tough. Obviously being around the organization for 20 plus years, he brings value to the team as a player and a guy that can come in and coach us. So far I’ve loved it.

“He always comes to me and sits with me and ask how I feel and what I thought about practice. Sometimes just that little interaction helps you. It goes a long way. I’m looking forward getting to know him more.”
