Well, it’s real.
Joakim Noah, Derrick Rose and heck, even Kirk Hinrich are gone. Dwyane Wade and Rajon Rondo are Bulls. There they were at media day at the Advocate Center on Monday, dressed in their home white jerseys, filming timeout video segments and answering questions about the great unknown.
Wade may have dreamed about wearing the red and white uniform when he was nine, but he’s been a Miami Heat lifer since he left college in 2003. That was his identity. Now he’s in his mid-30s, experiencing change for the first time as a grown man.
