Dwyane Wade talked about his jersey retirement ceremony by the Miami Heat, which will take place on Saturday (22/02).
“Well, when you got your own county, you can do different things. It’s about right. Three days for number three, three rings, it all goes. It’s gonna be a special day for me. I try not to get emotional a lot, but I definitely know I’m gonna be emotional,” Wade told Rachel Nichols of the ESPN.
The Heat will host a “L3GACY Celebration” honoring Wade. It will be part of a series of events scheduled at the American Airlines Arena the weekend of February 21, 22 and 23.
The first day of the event is called “The Flashback,” where the team will honor Wade’s impact on NBA basketball and the South Florida community.
His No. 3 jersey will be officially retired during halftime of the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on February 22nd.
The third and final part of the event will be the Heat screening an exclusive early look at a new feature-length documentary that chronicles Wade’s NBA career and life off the court as he goes through his final year in the league.
The three-time NBA Champion and 2006 Finals MVP finished his career with averages of 22.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.4 assists.
