Right before he suited up for the game against the Chicago Bulls, Stephen Curry had an important story to post. While he did so, the three-time NBA champion Dwayne Wade and actress Gabrielle Union followed in Curry’s footsteps. The trio took to Instagram to wish their dear friend and a former Miami Heat star a very happy birthday.

Drafted in 2004 by the Miami Heat, Dorell Wright turned 37 on December 2nd. Wright spent over ten years in the NBA while playing for teams like the Heat, the Golden State Warriors, the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Portland Trail Blazers. He retired in 2016 with an average of 8.4 points per game.

Wright currently works with the NBC network and covers the pre and post-game shows for the Warriors primarily. Through his journey, he made friendships that would last a lifetime. With that being said, these friends showered some birthday love on Wright’s special day.

Once while talking about the two-time MVP, Wright stated that Curry is different as he is open to advice from everyone. He said, “If you’re telling him something that’s gonna better him and help him, he’s gonna sit there and listen to you. He’s not gonna be one of those guys that thinks he knows everything.” 

While Wright continues to see Curry create magic up close, the four-time NBA champion took time off before his game and wished his dear friend on Instagram. Curry posted a story with a picture that says “Chapter 37.” He paired the picture with a simple “Happy Birthday” caption.

Following this, Wright saw wishes coming in from Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union.

The brother-like bond between Dorell Wright and Dwayne Wade

When Dorell Wright was with the Miami Heat, he struck a close bond with Dwayne Wade. While addressing each other as brothers, the two won the 2006 NBA championship together. Years later their friendship grew as Wade was honored with the responsibility of being Wright’s son’s godfather. The duo talk highly of each other while also spending some holidays together.

With this in mind, Wade took to Instagram to wish his “little brother” on his birthday. He said, “Happy Birthday you old a** 37-year-old! Love you, Boi.” Wade’s wife and actress Gabrielle Union shared her wishes too. Unlike Wade, she simply posted a picture of the two NBA champions looking at each other and smiling.
