Perspective: Dwyane Wade’s last dance in Miami reminded me why I fell in love with sports
Dwyane Wade jumps on the scorer's table after his final home game at American Airlines Arena. By Thomas Johnson Thomas Johnson Audience editor in Sports Email Bio Follow Audience editor April 10 at 3:15 PM In 2003, finding a Dwyane Wade jersey in Miami should have been straightforward. It was nearly impossible.
This was maybe a month into Wade’s first season and for any teenager with an unhealthy amount of emotion invested in a professional basketball team, asking for more out of life than a promising star on your favorite team felt greedy. Throughout Tuesday’s game, the Heat broadcasters revisited some of Wade’s signature moments from early in his career. What jumps out years later is not just the obvious visual contrasts — the youthful features of everyone involved, the noticeable lack of high-definition video — but the memories associated with those moments. Watching those highlights, my brain tempts me with a dangerous game of sentimental trivia, reminding me where I was and who I was with.
I remember the fleeting solidarity cities experience when unified around a galvanizing team, a feeling compounded by the shoulder chip so many South Floridians wore with sneering pride, resenting their perception as a fairweather fan base.Fast forward a few years to the final season of the Big Three era, and I remember leaving the city before they did. Watching games from thousands of miles away.
