Unearthed text from Dwyane Wade reveals how he is a man of his words?

How could someone ignore a text from an NBA legend for 15 years? Although that does sound bizarre, it has now revealed how Wade is a man of his word. 2009 was one of Wade’s prime years when he had a humongous fanbase. The 3-time champion took the time to thank one of his fans, who was a constant support for him.?

The text revealed Wade’s kind words,?”Just wanted to drop a note to say it’s been really cool reading your comments on my Facebook page…I’ve also been reading a lot of people who think this isn’t really me- but it’s official…this is the real D-Wade.”?

Wade continued,?“I may drop a line every now and then to let you know what’s on my mind- and I appreciate the love back.”?

Now, let’s come to the elephant in the room.?

Along with this, Wade added,?“So we have a little over 20 games left in the season…tomorrow we go up against Utah and will go for another win…it’s always tough to play on the road…but we’re focused.”

Now, what do you think happened in that game?

Wade keeps his promise with a near triple-double

14th March 2009. Wade dropped a massive 50 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists against the Utah Jazz. Along with this, he secured an 11-point win. Well, now you know why the 41-year-old is a Hall of Famer.?

To call a win a day before the game and secure it with a near 50-point triple-double defines greatness. Somehow even more incredibly, a decade after that game, Dwyane would become a minority owner in the Salt Lake City franchise.

The unopened text has benefitted the NBA fans in a way. What are your thoughts on this wild story? Share your take in the comments below.?
