It’s impossible to tell Dwyane Wade’s basketball story without including Chicago.
Though the 12-time All-Star, three-time NBA champion created a legacy in Miami, his hometown and the first organization he ever cheered for has been intertwined in that story from Day 1. From his early beginnings as child growing up in Chicago to Saturday’s farewell tour stopping at the United Center, Wade’s hometown has played an integral role in his journey from cheering on Michael Jordan to joining His Airness as one of the NBA’s all-time great shooting guards.
He's no longer Flash, the lightning quick, spry shooting guard with unmatched pound-for-pound strength.
