Back in 2016, Dwyane Wade moved on from the Miami Heat to the Chicago Bulls. After spending 13 years of his career with them, his move wasn’t taken very well by the Heat. He was the mastermind behind bringing in Chris Bosh and LeBron James that formed the ‘Big Three’ who led Miami Heat to their three championships. However, when Wade went to the Bulls, he didn’t have any expectations. But he also didn’t expect to be booed by the audience.

It was a childhood dream for him
Wade revealed that all he knew about Chicago was Jordan and Pippen. And how amazing their team was. “Only thing I would think about Chicago was the Bulls. All I remember is Jordan and Scottie and how amazing it was to play there and then play there as an opponent and how dope it was to go to united center,” he narrated.

“On the other side, I was like, ‘Where the energy at? Why are you all booing as? This ain’t what I experienced.” Although Wade still doesn’t regret playing for Chicago. “I was just glad I got to live that childhood moment.”
Well, who wouldn’t want to play for a franchise that had Michael Jordan‘s legacy linked to it? Unfortunately for Wade, it wasn’t how he expected it to be. Nonetheless, Dwyane will not be known for this, but always as what he turned the Miami Heat franchise into.
