Udonis Haslem still a playoff presence for Heat, even amid emerging TV career

BOSTON — The formal title is Vice President of Basketball Development.

But this postseason you haven’t found Udonis Haslem seated at the team’s practices and shootarounds with fellow Miami Heat executives Pat Riley, Andy Elisburg, Adam Simon, Alonzo Mourning or others from the team’s front office.

Nor had any of those titled officials been in sweats, on the court, rebounding, shooting, exhorting.

From the start, this next chapter for Haslem, the recently retired championship power forward, was going to be different.
