The Heat’s guard follows the path of his predecessors, Shaquille O’Neal and Tim Hardaway, but he is the first Heat draftee to be a Hall of Famer. He was picked fifth overall in the 2003 NBA draft by the franchise and played for them for the next 13 years.
In the meantime, the 6.4-footer won three championships, 13 NBA all-stars, one NBA finals MVP, one all-star game MVP, and one NBA scoring champion. Later, he played for the Chicago Bulls and the Cavaliers before returning to Miami to retire in 2019.

Wade is now a co-owner of the NBA franchise Utah Jazz and is considered the greatest player for the Miami Heat. His friendship with James is still intact these days, as he appeared in the historic game where the latter broke the all-time scoring record.
Now the fans are waiting to see the four-time NBA champion join his friend on this prestigious podium someday. We at SportsZion congratulate Dwyane Wade on his honor.
