Dwyane Wade is about to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, and one of his old teammates couldn’t be happier about that.
Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo had nothing but wonderful things to say about his former teammate.
According to Ira Winderman, via Vice City Alerts, Adebayo expressed his love for Wade as his induction into the Hall of Fame approaches.
“He’s run this city, through championships and was at the top when he was here…So, for me, man, I was just honored to really be his teammate,” Adebayo said.
He added: “I’m honored for him to actually invite me to the Hall of Fame, for me to be there…It’s going to be a surreal moment.”

Adebayo and Wade didn’t spend too much time together on the Heat but they made it count.
The big man was selected by Miami in the first round of the 2017 NBA Draft.
He was then able to play with Wade for almost two seasons before Wade retired.
That means that Adebayo was by Wade’s side during his last season when he averaged a very strong and impressive 15 points, 4 rebounds, and 4.2 assists.
Adebayo isn’t the only one to mention the impact that Wade had on him, the team, and the city.
He was an extremely loyal player and only left the Heat for a little less than two seasons.
He played for both the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers briefly.
But his heart was obviously always with Miami.
Today, he is still treated like a champion in Florida and is regarded as one of the best Heat stars to ever wear the jersey.
His placement in the Hall of Fame is definitely earned.
And Adebayo won’t be the only player celebrating it.
