Dwyane Wade’s final home game for the Miami Heat was an emotional affair, with tributes pouring in from his family, friends and former teammates, and even political dignitaries. The Heat arranged a pregame ceremony for Wade, and then continued to honor him throughout the night as he scored 30 points in a win over the Sixers. In a conversation with Heat CMO Michael McCollough and VP of Creative and Content Jen Alvarez, The Crossover learned how all the festivities came together.
- Perhaps the most surprising participant in the tributes was former president Barack Obama, who recorded a brief video message for Wade.
