During an interview with Rachel Nichols of ESPN, Miami Heat veteran Udonis Haslem spoke about the resumption of the 2019-20 season at Walt Disney World.
The Heat icon gave a hilarious reason why he believes players are going to adapt to the “bubble” at Walt Disney Resort just fine, via the Sun Sentinel:
“They got their video games and their Wi-Fi, so I think they’ll be all right,” Udonis Haslem said with a smile.
“Listen, as long as they got the Fortnite, however you spell it, and the 2K, they’ll be all right.”
Later in the interview with Nichols, Haslem talked about the Heat's chances of winning the 2020 title. Miami, led by All-Stars Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, racked up 41 wins before games were suspended in March.
Haslem, the Heat's all-time rebounder, thinks Miami has the mental toughness as a group to win the championship during these unprecedented times:
“I mean, I like our chances just as good as anybody or better,” the Heat legend said. “I think we probably have a better chance than anybody. Now it’s mental. When you talk about a mentally tough team, I don’t think there’s any more mental tough team in the NBA. So I like our chances just a good or more than anybody.”
The Heat are in the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference standings. The South Beach franchise missed the postseason in 2018-19, so Heat fans are excited to watch their favorite basketball team compete in the postseason this year.
Once the 2020 playoffs start, Miami will ultimately go as far as Butler and Adebayo can lead the club.
