After shootaround on Tuesday, Detroit Pistons head coach and president of basketball operations Stan Van Gundy took some time to reminisce on the Hall of Fame career and legacy of Dwyane Wade. Now a member of the Chicago Bulls, Wade makes his return to the Palace of Auburn Hills Tuesday night.
Van Gundy was Wade’s first NBA head coach when he was drafted in 2003 by the Miami Heat and coached him for his first two seasons and portions of his third before resigning in December of 2006.
As a result of their history together, Van Gundy is one of the best qualified guys in the NBA to offer commentary on the impact Wade has had over the course of his 13-year career.
