Heat's Udonis Haslem, Chris Andersen go hunting for gators

The Miami Heat missed out on the postseason but the players are still spending time together, with big men Chris Andersen and Udonis Haslem doing some Gator hunting earlier this week.

The Miami Heat missed out on the postseason but the players are still spending time together, with big men Chris Andersen and Udonis Haslem doing some gator hunting earlier this week.

Theyr showed off their bounty on their Instagram accounts, and seeing the mammoth reptiles strung up next to the nearly seven-foot basketball players really gives one a new perspective of the alligator's massive size.

Andersen claims he will be using the catch to make himself a new pair of shoes and matching belt, while Haslem claims he binged on the reality television series Swamp People in preparation for the hunt.

There do not seem to be any pictures of the actual hunt, so you will have to just take Andersen and Haslem at their word that they actually did the dirty work, and are not just taking advantage of a photo op.
