Dwyane Wade is set to retire at the end of this NBA season, Tuesday is his final home game (barring the team making the playoffs-two games remaining and they're one game out of the playoff picture).

He's been a player that's transcended the game, all season long he's been swapping jerseys with opposing players as a sign of mutual respect. In this recent commercial, he's seen swapping more than just a jersey but a piece of people he's had such a profound impact on during his time playing the game of basketball.

I'm one of those old school New York Knicks fans and there isn't a team I dislike more in the NBA more than the Miami Heat but I've always respected the hell out of Dwyane Wade as a player and as a person.

And yes, I did tear up watching this and if you didn't I question if your tear ducts are working properly or not.

Here are some of Dwade's career achievements:

  • Three-time NBA Champion (2006, 2012, 2013)
  • Five NBA Finals appearances
  • 2006 Finals MVP
  • Thirteen-time NBA All-Star
