Where did Udonis Haslem say he loves the Dolphins?
Dolphin Nation reported on March 5, 2022 that Udonis Haslem is a Miami Dolphins fan, quoting an interview he gave to Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel. In that interview he said, "I love the Dolphins. I love that organization," which is the outlet's account of the interview rather than a statement Haslem made on his own platform.
How does the Dolphins fandom line up with where Haslem is from?
Haslem was born in Miami, Florida, on June 9, 1980, and went to Miami Senior in Miami after starting high school at Samuel Wolfson in Jacksonville. He played at Florida from 1998 to 2002, then spent his NBA career with the Miami Heat from 2003 to 2023, after one season with Chalon-sur-Saône in 2002-03. Backing the Dolphins fits a player who was born in Miami and spent two decades in the city with the Heat, though the interview itself is the only basis for the fandom.
