After announcing his return to the NBA and the Miami Heat for his 17th season, Udonis Haslem remains one of the league’s elder statesmen and will be a veteran presence for the Heat once again.
But Haslem also retains an interesting title by staying in the league for another season as the player who has played with the most star power of any active player still in the league. According to research from our own Bryan Kalbrosky of HoopsHype that ranked star teammates according to All-Star appearances, All-NBA appearances and MVP’s, no player has had more stars on his teams than Haslem.
Between LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Shaquille O’Neal’s run of three All-Star games in Miami, Haslem was able to outpace the rest of the players on the list. Serge Ibaka, who played with Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, finished second in the HoopsHype study.
