Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade celebrated his birthday on Thursday, and he flocked to social media to share a message and a photo of his championship rings.

Wade posted a photo of the three championship rings he won in Miami, captioned with a bit of a reflection on his career and what made him successful. For the 37-year-old, his greatest talent lies in his ability to adapt and make everyone around him better. As he moves away from basketball, Wade wants to further develop this skill.

For those who have followed Wade's career, he's speaking nothing but the truth. From being the Heat's franchise player who led the team to a championship in 2006, he gladly took a step back upon LeBron James' decision to take his talents to South Beach. Wade even shared that the Heat was now James' team and he'll be the sidekick.

It was a class act that elevated Wade's reputation as an elite NBA player to one of the all-time greats. Not many NBA players — especially with the same stature was Wade — would gladly take a backseat to welcome a much bigger star. But as we all know by now, Wade's decision produced two rings which included four straight NBA Finals appearances. It's definitely one of the most unselfish deeds in basketball. And Wade will be forever remembered because of it.
