Dwyane Wade made a dream come true for Hawks rookie Kevin Huerter after Atlanta’s game against the Heat last night.
Huerter grew up in upstate New York idolizing Wade, wearing his shoes and jersey number. He had to wear No. 4 at Maryland because the Terps retired 3 for Juan Dixon but he switched right back to Wade’s number after being taken in the first round by the Hawks.
After the game, Wade approached Huerter and said he wanted to swap jerseys with him.
“For as long as I can remember, me and my brother would wear his shoes when we were younger,” Huerter told reporters.
