Chicago Bulls guard Dwyane Wade has dealt with plenty of change before.

He's played under three head coaches, Lebron James and Chris Bosh are all on different teams now, and he's had 112 teammates since they first joined forces.

It's because of the different things Wade has seen in his 13 years in the league that the changes he is currently experiencing isn't exactly a culture shock to him.

NBA media day begins Monday and it will be Wade's very  first with the Bulls.

He spoke to reporters about how he feels at this point since he signed with Chicago instead of staying in Miami.

It's going to be difficult, 100 percent. I'm fine with it, though. For me, it goes back to the whole challenge thing. It's not like I haven't done this before. At the end of the day we're all wearing the same jersey right now and we have to come together, just like any team. And that's going to be tough

Wade leaves the Heat behind with their own problems to deal with, including Chris Bosh's battle with blood clotting.

There isn't much Wade can do to help even if he were there, but he offered the best advice to his friend, and now has to focus on building chemistry with his current team.

There will be plenty to challenge his experience and will to win, and if it weren't so, he would retire.

When I don't have anything else left to prove, then I don't need to play the game of basketball. I want to prove I'm out of my comfort zone. I'm in a totally different environment, a totally different system. This is a challenge for me, at this stage of my career. Leave it up to me to put myself in a challenge and not just fade to black in the comfortableness of Miami

Wade is on the downside of his career, but that doesn't mean he's not effective. Sure he's no longer The Flash we're used to seeing and doesn't zip through defenses only to hit the floor and do it all over again, but he has learned to play smarter and not harder in his experience.

There's no risk for me. It's basketball. It's just a sport, man. And I'm pretty good at it. I know the game and I've put in so much work in this sport, everything right now is just the cherry on top of the whipped cream.

Monday is the start of a new era in Chicago with Dwyane Wade, Jimmy Butler, and Rajon Rondo leading the way.
