All of the attention was on Los Angeles Lakers president of basketball operations Magic Johnson’s resignation, but the night was also very important for a different reason.
It marked the end of an era in the NBA as two all-time greats, Dwyane Wade and Dirk Nowitzki, played their last home games in their respective arenas.
Wade played 16 NBA seasons and won three championships with the Miami Heat and in his time, he built relationships with some greats from the Lakers organization.
Of his three championships, he won two with LeBron James and one with Shaquille O’Neal, both players that have worn the purple and gold.
