The Miami Heat celebrated Dwyane Wade’s career and retired his jersey on Saturday evening. His No. 3 was lifted into the rafters of the AmericanAirlines Arena during halftime of the 2019-20 NBA Regular Season contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Wade spent most of his career with the Heat. Played 66 matches with the Chicago Bulls in 2016-17 and 46 with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2017-18, but the rest of his 1.231 appearances including playoffs through 16 seasons came with the Heat. Was crowned NBA champion three times and was named Finals MVP in 2006.
