Rising star Devin Booker was honored to swap jerseys with Miami Heat icon Dwyane Wade at the end of a 124-121 Phoenix Suns win on the road, getting the very coveted “Vice Nights” Earned Edition jerseys with the bright pink and contrasting black.
Wade is in his farewell tour, his swan song, his #onelastdance before putting a bow on his career after 16 seasons in the NBA. The jersey swap seemed like a no-brainer choice for the two players.
Booker then took to Twitter to thank Wade for his post-game words and memorabilia, with Wade doing the same shortly after.
The impact he’s had on this game and my life will never be forgotten. Thank you @DwyaneWade. 🙏🏽 https://t.co/AgWYRnnnXT

Booker put up 20 points and nine assists and Wade mustered a combo platter of 13 points, three rebounds, five assists, three steals, and two blocks on the night, in true catalyst fashion.
The win snapped a 17-game losing skid for the Suns, now 12-50 and still in line for a 14 percent chance to earn the No. 1 overall selection in this year's NBA Draft.
For now, Booker has a quite memorable last game against a soon-to-be Hall of Famer and the bragging rights of taking the last game he ever played against him, despite an otherwise lost season at the bottom of the team standings.
