A true legend of the Miami Heat and the NBA, Dwyane Wade will enter the Hall of Fame on August 12. He chose Allen Iverson to introduce him at his induction, and recently explained why.
Several legends will enter the basketball hall of fame in two weeks: Tony Parker will be introduced by his teammates Tim Duncan and Manu Ginóbili, Dirk Nowitzki by his mates Jason Kidd and Steve Nash, and Dwyane Wade by his teammate Allen Iverson ! A choice that surprised more than one, and that D-Wade justified to the journalist ofAndscape Marc J. Spears.
“Allen Iverson is someone who is forgotten about everything he means to this sport, to a community and to a culture. So I want to pay tribute to him, honor him as he deserves and tell him how important he was, not only for me, but also for all the little boys who look like me and like him.
He probably doesn’t get to hear that all the time. We talk all the time about Jordan, LeBron, Kobe, but we don’t talk about AI. He’s one of the greats. So I’m grateful that he said yes, and I can’t wait for him to represent me. »
A nice statement from Wade, who has always been very admiring of AI… to the point of placing him in his Top 5 of the best players in history! Dwyane may have overdone it a bit, but it doesn’t matter, it’s above all the feelings that speak at times like this. The Heat guard grew up watching AI and has always been a fan of it. It is moreover “because” of him that he wears the number 3. We can guess all the influence that The Answer to me sur Flash.
Dwyane Wade is picking Allen Iverson to present his Hall of Fame induction ❤️

Wade and Iverson have known each other for many years, since they often met in the NBA. They also played together under the Team USA jersey in 2004, and have maintained a very good relationship since. The bond between the two men will only be strengthened after D-Wade’s Hall of Fame induction by AI!
