A fan of Dwyane Wade went viral on Tuesday as he held a sign inside Chesapeake Energy Arena making it known that he purchased a ticket to watch the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder earlier this season, but is dismayed that his favorite player has already been traded to the Miami Heat. The sign also included that he drove 455 miles just to see the former 12-time All-Star, which further adds to his frustrations.

After seeing what happened to him, Wade himself asked his followers on Twitter to track down the fan and promised to get him tickets to a game later this year as he knows how defeated he must have been putting a lot of effort to watch the game, but finding out last week that he will once again represent the South Beach team.

Wade was one of the six players the Cavs traded ahead of last Thursday's deadline, which led to them acquiring four new players. The 36-year-old shooting guard was sent to the Heat in exchange for a future second round pick, in what appeared to be a act of goodwill from the Cavaliers, making sure that he lands with the team where his NBA career started back in 2003.

With the Heat visiting the Thunder next month, it will be the perfect opportunity for the fan to receive a ticket from Wade, to fulfill his plan to watch him live. He may not be a Cavalier anymore, but that does not seem to be a concern for him as long as he gets to see his favorite player compete on the floor.
