Erik Spoelstra remembers the first time he saw Dwyane Wade in a Chicago Bulls uniform.
“I texted him the first time I saw him in a Bulls uniform,” the Heat coach said Friday morning after the Heat’s shootaround session. “I told him, ‘This doesn’t look right. This is wrong. I don’t care what anybody says. I don’t care where you’re from. That just doesn’t look right.’
“We had so many battles with the Bulls, I wasn’t buying that whole hometown thing. And then to prepare for him, I put a $5,000 fine for anybody that went for a shot fake or fouled him on any one of his tricks.
