Dwyane Wade emotional because victim buried in his jersey

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade says Monday it makes him emotional to know that a student killed in the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was buried in a jersey with his name on it.

Joaquin Oliver's parents revealed Sunday on Univision talk show Al Punto that their son was buried Feb. 17 in his Wade jersey.

"You really can't put that in words. You hurt for the family," Wade told reporters Monday. "If you ever get the opportunity to speak to them, you just try to hope the time where he was alive that you were able to bring some type of joy to his life and something memorable.
