How Twitter Hilariously Reacted To Udonis Haslem's Retirement Announcement

Even though we knew it was coming, Miami Heat forward Udonis Haslem has officially announced his retirement.

Haslem is done after 20 seasons with the same. He went from undrafted rookie in 2003 to becoming one of the most impactful players in franchise history. He is third player to play 20 years with the same team, joining the late Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers) and Dirk Nowitzki (Dallas Mavericks).

He will finish as the Heat's all-time leading rebounder. He also was a key cog on three championship teams, winning in 2006, 2012 and 2013. While Haslem proved his worth, some felt he did nothing more than take up a roster spot the past few years.

Here's a look at how Twitter reacted to him finally making the official announcement:
