Dwyane Wade has already made it known if he isn’t returning to the Miami Heat, he won’t be returning to the NBA at all. Pat Riley has said his main priority is re-signing Wade and his running mate for the past 15 seasons (minus his stints in the mid-west) Udonis Haslem.
The decision rests with Wade, though. If he does decide to hang it up, there is no doubt he is a first ballot Hall of Famer.
Wade spent the majority of his career with the Miami Heat, becoming their leader in nearly every statistical category; games, minutes played, points, field goals, assists, steals, usage and win shares.
It’s safe to say he’s had a pretty good career. He won his first title and Finals MVP in 2006 as he led the Heat over the Dirk Nowitzki helmed Dallas Mavericks. He averaged a league-leading 30.2 PPG in 2008-09 before joining forces with Lebron James and Chris Bosh to form the Heatles and add another two championships to his trophy case while making four-straight finals appearances.
It is still very possible that Wades comes back for another season, but if this is it for Dwyane Wade, the NBA has lost one of its greatest to ever play.
