Dwyane Wade is recognized as the greatest player in the history of Miami. The Flash is easily one of the best shooting guards of all time too. Over the course of his career, he averaged 22 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 5.4 assists on 48 percent shooting. For his resume of three NBA titles with the Heat organization, he’s looked up to and admired by many NBA stars. Recently, Wade was seen acknowledging an NBA star that expressed his gratitude for the 41-year-old Hall of Famer.

A former Most Improved Player of the Year praised Wade’s legacy after being traded by the Heat this week.

Well, the news is in. Victor Oladipo will be traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder and is set to sign a contract of well over $9 million. It’s disappointing to see Oladipo depart from the city of Miami after having a decent spell with the team. He was recently seen sharing his thoughts about Dwyane Wade in a conversation.

Oladipo’s career took off after the Orlando Magic shipped him to OKC in 2016. 7 years later, he returns to the city where his career got a second wind. Candidly, Oladipo expressed, “Dwyane has a lot of responsibility for my success as a human being but most importantly as an athlete. Just because he was a role model for me.”
