NBA legend Dwyane Wade spent a single season for his hometown team of the Chicago Bulls during the 2016-17 campaign. At 35, this was already towards the tail end of the 13-time All-Star's career, but still, he did not leave the city without his fair share of memorable moments.
One of which was his almost triple-double moment, which Wade describes to be his “second most mad moment” throughout his brief Bulls tenure.
As described in the exchange above, had it not been for an ill-timed rebound by Dwyane Wade's former teammate Cristiano Felicio, he and fellow Bulls star Jimmy Butler would have made a bit of history. The Wade-Butler combo — despite all of its faults and shortcomings — would have at least reached the heights of the great Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen legendary pairing for the Bulls, be it for just a single statistical achievement. Unfortunately for Wade, that just wasn't going to be the case.
It's interesting to think about what Wade's “most mad moment” would have been, given that the incident above just plays second fiddle. There are a few incidents that come to mind, but we can't be sure unless the three-time NBA champ confirms the same.
During his single season for the Bulls, Wade averaged 18.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.4 steals, and 0.7 blocks per game. Chicago finished that season with a 42-40 record, which was enough to earn them a spot in the playoffs. It was a short-lived postseason run, though, with the Bulls being ousted by the Boston Celtics in the first round.
