Former President Barack Obama recognized Heat star Dwyane Wade in a tribute video on Tuesday night.
"Congratulations on a great run. Now, I know what you're going through because saying goodbye to a career that you love is never easy. I've been there. In my case, though, I didn't really have a choice. My knees were shot, so I had to give up basketball forever," Obama joked.
"Whenever you got knocked down, you always showed us how to get back up," he added. "You showed some Chicago spirit in you and you did us proud. So from all of us who are fans of the game, we just want to congratulate you on an extraordinary career.
