Dwyane Wade Will Get Tickets For A Fan Who Went To Cavs-Thunder With the Hopes Of Seeing Him

Going to an NBA game can be a massive investment if you don’t live close to a team. Between driving or flying to the city where the game is happening, purchasing tickets, finding a place to crash, and all the other various expenses that go into a trip, you would at least hope you get your money’s worth.

For one hoops fan, the worst-case scenario played out when they drove to Oklahoma City to watch the Thunder host Cleveland on Tuesday night. Well, the worst-case scenario played out last week, as Nick Houston bought tickets to the game in November to watch his favorite player suit up for the Cavs, Dwyane Wade.

Of course, Wade was sent to Miami at the trade deadline, but Houston had already made the financial commitment. So he decided to fork out a few more dollars to make a sign that made fun of himself and drive down to Oklahoma City, anyway.

Kudos to Houston for having a sense of humor about things, and besides, he was treated to a pretty good game. Of course, the caliber of the game likely paled in comparison to what he was feeling after Wade quote tweeted him and offered to get him tickets to a Heat game a little later in the evening.

That’s not the only perk Houston got for making this sign, as the folks at Fanatics want to get him some gear for his eventual trip to watch Wade play. And like any person who has seen the Heat’s Miami Vice uniforms, he wants one of those.

I’d say the moral of this story is that you should always tweet at professional athletes, but, uh, that’s probably still not a good idea.
