People have no chill these days.
NBA player jerseys seem to be copping the wrath of the recent free agency trades and movements. Ex-player singlets are the new fuel of choice for grills across the Oklahoma, and now Miami regions.
Last week, we saw Kevin Durant‘s burning jersey posted on Youtube, and following Dwyane Wade‘s shocking announcement that he will be leaving Miami for Chicago, it took just under an hour for his burning uniform to appear on twitter.
Despite 13 good years, three championships, 12 All-Star appearances, and time as an active philanthropist in the Miami community, some jaded fans filmed themselves burning Wade's number three jersey on what looked to be a grill.

Many followers jumped to Wade's defense, pointing out Wade's contribution to the Miami franchise and directed some of their heat at Pat Riley and his history of making under-market/”low ball” offers to his stars.

Wade released a letter to the Associated Press addressing Miami fans. He said: “I look back with pride and amazement at all we have accomplished together.”

In an emotional message, he thanked and praised Miami fans for their support throughout the past 13 years, but finishes up by explaining that his Illinois roots mean the Bulls have always had a special place in his heart.
Also, just a reminder for any jaded fans out there…..It's not always a good idea to burn player jerseys:
The NBA is a dynamic organisation and you never know where players may end up. Here is what a four-year-old burned LeBron James Cleveland Cavaliers jersey looks like:
