Former Chicago Bulls guard Dwyane Wade is officially a member of the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2023. Wade may have spent just a lone season with the Bulls, but he grew up in the Chicago area. Wade spoke about how his home town had a big impact on him growing up during the weekend’s festivities. As part of his official enshrinement speech, Wade brought it full circle by paying homage to Michael Jordan.
Wade explained how influential his father was in shaping his love of basketball. As he grew older, however, Jordan slowly became a central part of Wade’s understanding and love of the game.
