After spending the first 13 years of his NBA career with the Miami Heat, Dwyane Wade is back home in Chicago. The fit is natural, but it still seems weird to think about D-Wade wearing a jersey other than the Heat's.

While speaking at the Sports and Entertainment summit earlier this week, Wade discussed his transition to joining the Bulls.

Since he grew up in the Windy City, it's been easier to adjust on a personal level for Wade. Still, he's wearing his new Bulls gear every day to drive home the point.

Transcribed from the video:

“I may be a little different because I grew up a Bulls fan. So when I put on Chicago Bulls basketball gear – which I've put on every day since I got the gear because I'm trying to get used to it as well; don't get me wrong – but it rings a little different in my ear than probably it rings to the rest of the world.”

Most onlookers never believed Wade would actually leave Miami. But, if he was going to depart, Chicago was always the destination.

The hardest thing to adjust to? The weather:
