For Dwyane Wade, his career will be defined by two numbers – the first being the No. 3, representing the jersey number he wore for nearly 15 season with the Miami Heat, a tenure that included three NBA titles, a Finals MVP award, countless All-NBA teams and more in a career that will certainly end in the Hall of Fame.
You can reportedly add another honor to the legendary resume of former Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade: a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Wade will be named to the 2023 induction class set to be announced Saturday, according to sources for ESPN.
He is set to be joined by other legends from the NBA, including Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, Tony Parker along with head coach Gregg Popovich. Former WNBA star Becky Hammon is also expected to be selected.
Drafted with the fifth overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, Wade spent 14 of his 16 seasons with the Heat and is widely considered to be the best player in franchise history.
