Dwyane Wade is one of the best shooting guards in NBA history.
The Miami Heat legend recently had a statue unveiled outside of the team’s arena.
Wade made a heartfelt post to Instagram on Thursday that had over 120,000 likes.
He captioned his post: “By 17, basketball was my soul’s love language. It helped give me an identity. It was the safe space that allows me to be expressive and passionate. I realized that basketball was my blank canvas. I used it to re-imagine my life. No matter what was going on in my life, it was my sanctuary—my way out. I needed to re-imagine life. Not just for myself, but for everyone I loved! I PUT ON FOR MY FAMILY DREAM. BELIEVE. WORK.”
The Heat will play their next game on Friday evening when they visit the Indiana Pacers.
