CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The annoying Charlotte fan wearing the purple shirt in the courtside seat at Time Warner Cable Arena has been heckling Dwyane Wade for years, not just throughout the first-round playoff series between the Miami Heat and the Hornets.
But what Purple Shirt Dude couldn’t have known in Game 6 was that Wade entered Friday night with all the motivation the 13-year NBA veteran would need while facing elimination in a desperate attempt to keep his team’s postseason run alive.
Still, in the fourth quarter, that didn’t stop Purple Shirt from shooting barbs Wade’s way.
