Dwyane Tyrone Wade Jr.’s career in the National Basketball Association is coming to an end, and the circus that is NBA Media Day was centered around it in Miami.
Swaddled in a black cotton hoodie with “Wade 3:16” across the chest in bright white letters, Wade greeted a scrum of reporters to kick off Miami Heat training camp for the final time in his usual, laid-back style.
“I’ve been a pretty good basketball player for a long time,” Wade said with a smile. “This is definitely something I’ve mastered.”
As he reflected on his playing days from the time he was a toddler to the first time he donned a Heat uniform, Wade was his usual giddy self, as he greeted several familiar faces amongst the South Florida media.
