Dwyane Wade says he won't try and jump on the scorer’s table this weekend when the Miami Heat retire his No. 3 jersey, per Rohan Nadkarni of Sports Illustrated.
The Heat are retiring Wade’s No. 3 jersey during a three-day event. The first day of the event is called “The Flashback,” where the team will honor Wade’s impact on NBA basketball and the South Florida community.
Wade’s No. 3 jersey will be officially retired during halftime of the matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers on February 22nd.
The third and final part of the event will be the Heat screening an exclusive early look at a new feature-length documentary that chronicles Wade’s NBA career and life off the court as he goes through his final year in the league. It will reflect back on his personal and professional challenges, victories and setbacks throughout his unwavering journey:
RN: The last time you tried to do this, it didn’t go very well, I have to ask: Do you plan on jumping up on the scorer’s table when you get your jersey retired?
DW: Absolutely not. I’m done jumping up on the table.
As we all know, Wade is the best player in Heat history. He finished his NBA career with averages of 22.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.4 assists, all while winning three titles with the Heat and the 2006 Finals MVP.
This weekend is going to be emotional for Wade and his family. It should be a great three-day ceremony.
