The fact that his longest teammate, and one of his closest friends, Haslem, hit the shot to secure his triple double makes it that much cooler. What a career for D Wade, my favorite player of all time.

Well said! Haslems been with Wade since the beginning. So much history there.

[@tendopain2585]

Thank you for a Dwyane for a wonderfully impactful career on and off the court. You are the reason I wore #3 when I hooped, you are who I aspired to be as a player. I played nba live 06 for years because you were on the cover lol. I remember your first finals performance in 06 and I still can’t believe the show you put on. Your triple dub in the ncaa tournament. Your dunk on Varajao. Your game winning steal & floater from the 3pt line. Your career gave me so much joy & excitement that I will truly never forget. It was a honor having you as my favorite player for 15+ years. Thank you Flash for a wonderful career.

I was 11 when all these guys showed up in the league, Carmelo Fresh off a NCAA championship with Syracuse, Dwade and Marquette coming of a deep tournament run. Chris Paul was coming out of Wake Forest showing extreme promise. Lebron, doing his signature dunk in the McDonalds Dunk Contest, his only dunk contest to be televised. Now alot of these men are 15 or 16 years in man time flies. To the youth don't take it for granted you may feel like you'll live forever, heal a sprained bone tomorrow and have endless opportunities, live with deliberate intentions and aim high for success.
