Wade commenting on “not crying yesterday” is a reference to his seemingly emotional response to the national anthem during Game 7 of the Heat's opening round playoff series against the Hornets.
As Matt Moore of CBS Sports points out, there are some similarities between Prince and Wade that may have led to D-Wade becoming Prince's favorite player:
“He's fashion progressive, he defines his own style and his style on the court is both smooth and versatile.”
