On December 10th, Dwyane Wade made his last and final trip to the Staples Center as an NBA player. The Lakers paid tribute to him by putting together a video on their jumbotron that played during a timeout in the 1st quarter. Completely unexpected by it, D. Wade was clearly touched and soon after the video ended, his close friend and former teammate LeBron James came and gave him a hug. It was a really beautiful and tender moment for basketball and the sports world.
Dwyane Wade, 36, is a 12x All-Star, 3x Champion, 2006 NBA finals MVP, and a gold medalist Olympian. The Lakers even regarded him in their video as one of the greatest players of the century. Do you agree?
