Udonis Haslem just put in the performance of the year for the Miami Heat. All-Star center Bam Adebayo couldn't help but react to the madness.
The Miami Heat lifer entered his first game if the season, and as you've probably seen by now, hilariously got ejected shortly after thanks to on-court scuffle with Philadelphia 76ers big man Dwight Howard.

Haslem spoke out about the altercation after the game. The Heat icon spoke out as a true 18-year veteran:




“At the and of the day, I am who I am. I can't change now.”

In a season that's been quite a roller coaster ride for this Miami side, it certainly stands out as one of the highlights. The Heat have seemingly found their rhythm at the right time, winning four straight and eight of their last 10 contests.
After their win against the Sixers, the Heat find themselves tied for the fifth seed with the New York Knicks.
