Because carmelo is just a player that jumped from one team to another, did not really have an impact. Does he have a charity for any of those teams? UD has, in Miami also a 3 time champion

[@AlexG-tp2ik]

He's the all time leading rebounder in the history of the franchise and was a big part of all 3 championships. The criteria for getting your jersey retired is not the same as making the hall of fame, dude. You don't need to be a superstar. Just a big part of the teams story. Dude was the team captain for 16 years. That alone is enough to retire his jersey.

[@dpmuddasucka4495]

Now this is the best jersey retirement I've seen 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐐 Long Live UD!

He ,💯 deserves that. Good team captain for sure. Some people can't understand the importance of individuals who may not be a great player but has that motivating factor that helps their team mates. Every team needs a player with that attitude, it's not just about physical talent, the NBA has an abundance of that. NUFF RESPECT to a great team player 😎

100% Deserved! The only other player besides Kobe & Dirk to spend 20+ Year's with 1 team.

[@exilhamburger4802]

In a way being named alonside Kobe and Dirk in the 20 years - one franchise trio is insane, as Udonis had neither their ability, nor their star power, but then you remember, that during that 20 year run, the Heat had two distinctively different championship rosters and Udonis kept playing, kept contributing on and off the court so much that the Heat willingly kept him as an active player with that precious roster spot, even though he was already doing more coaching than playing.
