What has been your favorite Wade moment of the season so far, and why?
Tachauer: Off the court, definitely being able to pose for a photo with him while he signed autographs, before the Miami Heat took on the Bulls in Chicago. To even get 15 seconds of face time with the legend himself, was unbelievable. And something I’ll truly never forget. On the court, I’d have to say the team’s matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. I swear seeing Wade and LeBron James share the floor with one another for the final time, gave me goosebumps. Their interactions before, and of course after the game (during the jersey swap), really made me realize just how deep their friendship runs. As well as that there isn’t another duo in the league quite like them. Otherwise, I’ve really just enjoyed watching Father Prime turn back time and still put on a show. Between his newly discovered 3-point shot and those old-school dunks, he’s been a joy to watch on a nightly basis.
Johnson: My favorite moment off the court was seeing Wade miss a stretch due to the arrival of his daughter. Wade has always been a family man. His sons have been courtside cheering him on for years, and seeing him support his family first is always heartwarming. There were probably people who bought tickets months in advance to see Wade play, but he couldn’t blow off the birth of his newborn for a few games of basketball. Family first. On the court, it has to be the game in Los Angeles against James and the Lakers. The crowd reception was fantastic and the game came down to the final possessions. What more could you ask for?
