Miami Heat

Before he retires at the end of the season, Miami Heat team captain Udonis Haslem could earn one more honor. 

Haslem named among the finalists for Twyman-Stakes Teammate of the Year Award. It would serve as the perfect honor for Haslem, who is finishing up his 20th NBA season, all with the Heat. 

While Haslem has played sparingly the past five seasons, his value goes far beyond the box score. He serves as a mentor for young players and coach Erik Spoelstra has often referred to Haslem as another assistant. 

Here's the full list: 

The players selected as finalists are: Mikal Bridges (Brooklyn Nets), Darius Garland (Cleveland Cavaliers), Udonis Haslem (Miami Heat), Jrue Holiday (Milwaukee Bucks), Derrick Rose (New York Knicks), Grant Williams (Boston Celtics), Harrison Barnes (Sacramento Kings), Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors), Aaron Gordon (Denver Nuggets), Jaren Jackson Jr. (Memphis Grizzlies), Damion Lee (Phoenix Suns) and Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers).
