Udonis Haslem: I'm moving closer to 100 percent

Miami Heat forward Udonis Haslem continues to work himself back into playing shape after missing most of last season because of ligament damage in his left foot. He returned for the playoffs, but battled conditioning issues. The lockout is giving him opportunity to "get himself in shape" after undergoing offseason ankle surgery.

"That's what I was lacking, conditioning," said Haslem, speaking Tuesday at a charity event at Miami Northwestern High School. "I can pedal a bike all day, but it's nothing like being out there on the floor and getting up and down and actually shooting and jumping."

"Just trying to condition myself," Haslem said. "The last step will be competitive playing on the court. I just want to make sure I'm ready before I take that next step."

Former Heat guard Keyon Dooling said he can still contribute on a good team, possibly the Heat if the opportunity is presented.

"I could see that," Dooling said. "But who wouldn't jump at that opportunity?"
