MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Dwyane Wade’s jersey is finally hanging from the rafters at the American Airlines Arena.
The Heat legend’s jersey was raised to the ceiling with help from his wife, actress Gabrielle Union, and their baby girl.
“The man is hanging from the ceiling in a way he’ll never be forgotten,” Heat President Pat Riley told the crowd.
Wade’s No. 3 jersey joins the retired jerseys of four other Heat players — Alonzo Mourning, Tim Hardaway, Shaquille O’Neal and Chris Bosh.
The ceremony was the centerpiece in a three-day celebration of Wade’s 16-year NBA career, which included three championship seasons with the Heat.
