On his birthday, Wade offers a surprising revelation and Big Three era perspective

Heat guard Dwyane Wade turned 37 on Thursday and while he couldn’t have predicted the three NBA championships in his Hall of Fame career, there’s one thing he did see coming.

“It’s crazy,” he said Thursday, “but when I was in high school [in Oak Lawn, Illinois], it’s in the yearbook, I said in 20 years I see myself retiring to spend time with my wife and kids and being one of the greatest to play the game.”

He was right on both. Wade is planning to retire at the end of the season.
