Dwyane Wade wanted to play pickup basketball in New York City this week. Here’s what happened next.

As the Heat awaits word from Dwyane Wade about whether he intends to play this season, the 12-time All Star guard had some court time this week with a new and surprised set of teammates, including a fashion designer, a video editor and several Manhattan businessmen.

Wade showed up at an upscale New York gym to play pickup basketball with a bunch of strangers for 90 minutes on Wednesday evening, giving more than two dozen of them the basketball memory of a lifetime.

Wade was in New York City this week for the opening of a restaurant that he invested in.
