Dwyane Wade Celebrated ‘The Beginning’ And ‘The End’ Of His Historic Career On Instagram

Dwyane Wade took the floor at the AmericanAirlines Arena for the final time in his illustrious career on Tuesday night. The Miami Heat legend donned the team’s uniform for a 122-99 blowout win over the Philadelphia 76ers on an evening that was dedicated to celebrating Wade. In response, Wade had one of his best games of the year, going for 30 points and reaching season-best marks in minutes (35) and drinks spilled on celebrity friends who were sitting courtside (one).

In honor of the evening, Wade took to Instagram before and after tip and posted pictures to mark the beginning and the end of his journey in Miami. The first was an image of Wade on the day he was introduced to the Heat faithful by Pat Riley following the 2003 NBA Draft while holding his son, Zaire, while the second showed Wade with his daughter, Kaavia, after the game.

Still, Wade’s career isn’t over yet. The veteran guard plans on suiting up in Miami’s season finale against the Nets in Brooklyn on Wednesday night, but there is a problem: His knee hurts really bad. Wade tried jumping on the scorer’s table after the game, but he was unable to keep his footing, leading to a “tragic” moment.

While this is extremely funny, it also messed Wade’s knee up, something he tweeted about on Wednesday morning while he was getting treatment done.

Goodbyes are supposed to hurt, although that’s because they’re emotionally tough and usually don’t have anything to do with tweaking your knee.
