Udonis Haslem has won three NBA championships and currently stands as the franchise’s all-time leading rebounder with 5,430 total rebounds in his career.

Not bad for a guy who was signed as an undrafted free agent.

Deemed as undersized and too small to play the power forward position, Haslem has been the starter on three NBA championship teams. He started on the 2006 championship squad and was a part of the “Big Three” era of the early 2010’s.

After 12 years, Haslem remains a member of the Heat. Although he plays sporadically and averages just 14 minutes per contest nowadays, his longevity and grittiness lands him a top 10 selection on this list.
