Udonis Haslem appeared at Heat camp today giving back to the community and joined WQAM to chat about it. He also touched on his buddy Dwyane Wade choosing to stay, who he was rooting for in the NBA Finals, and what it is about Pat Riley that attracts a specific group of women.

Was Haslem rooting for ex-teammates like LeBron James during the NBA Finals?

"I ain't watch that, man," Haslem said on the Kup and Crowder Show. "I might've watched one game. I know who wasn't playing -- I know it wasn't us.

"I wanted to see LeBron, JJ, Mike Miller, all of those dudes -- I wouldn't mind seeing those dudes get a ring, man. I tell people this all the time, I keep it 100. Those were some of the best teammates I ever had. I wouldn't give a damn if they went and played for Afghanistan or whatever. I'm always rooting for them guys and always want them to do well except when they play against me. When they play against me I'm gonna try to tear their ass up and they know that."

Is Pat Riley as cool as he puts off?

"Pat's that cool, man," Haslem said. "I had to beat a couple of my aunties and all that off Pat to try to keep them away and let them know Pat's married. I don't know what it is about Pat Riley and older black women but they love Pat Riley, they love them some Pat Riley, boy."
