NBA veteran John Wall, who has been out of the league since 2023, wants to return in a role like Udonis Haslem had with Miami Heat
At 33, he wants one more shot at playing. He's willing to take on a role many Miami Heat fans are familiar with. Speaking on the Podcast P with Paul George, Wall said he would serve as a mentor to younger players just as Udonis Haslem did late in his career.
"I'm willing to accept any role it is to be on a team," Wall said. "If it's playing, not playing, being in a Udonis Haslem role. Anything like that, I just want to be in a NBA jersey again, because I know how much the game means to me, how much I still have left. If it's helping a team playing, if it's helping a team being a coach or a mentor, I'm willing to accept that."The fact Haslem has a role named after him just adds to his legend.
"When you’ve got 20 years of experience, like he does, and he’s knowledgeable and he has the right disposition for this organization, we want him to be in this organization as long as he wants to be,” Heat team president Pat Riley once said. “I mean, defining exactly what it is that he wants to do, I mean I would love to have UD around in whatever capacity."Shandel has covered the NBA since 2010, with previous stops at The Athletic and South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
