Legendary Heat guard Dwyane Wade was enshrined into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Saturday. The Miami great emotionally honored Allen Iverson during his induction speech, but he shared an even more touching moment with a member of his family.
Wade spent the end of his speech speaking directly to his father for 2 1/2 minutes, crediting him for making him the player he became.
“When I would cry and say I can’t, you would make me go harder,” Wade said in his speech. “You pushed me to limits that I didn’t know were inside of me. The hard work I put in was because I didn’t want to let you down.”
