Udonis Haslem is known for bringing veteran leadership to the Miami Heat. Although he hasn't played much in the 2020 NBA playoffs, his words and leadership have played an integral role during the Heat's playoff run.

During a timeout, Haslem was seen letting his teammates have it in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics (via NBA Central).

 

The Heat were on verge of making their first NBA Finals in six years on Friday; however, the Boston Celtics went on a 20-3 run during the third quarter to ultimately give them the win.

Nevertheless, the Heat still holds a 3-2 lead over the Celtics, and they'll be seeking to close out the series on Sunday. The Heat have only lost two games in a row four times this season, so history will be on their side on Sunday.
