Congratulations, Udonis Haslem!

On November 21, 2012 versus Milwaukee, Udonis Haslem eclipsed Alonzo Mournings franchise-record of 4,807 rebounds. Haslem became the first undrafted player to lead a franchise in rebounding.

For the first six seasons of Haslem's career, he was the reliable starting Power Forward for the Miami Heat. Starting in the 2009-10 NBA Season, Haslem's role would change and he would have to get used to coming off the bench for Miami. Although he has seen a reduction of minutes the past four seasons, his production has actually increased. Since being relegated to the bench, Haslem has averaged double digit rebounds per 36 minutes, a feat he never accomplished in his 6 seasons as a starter.
