Dwyane Wade recently shared a video clip on his YouTube channel which captured his preparation for the Hall of Fame event. The clip started with the quote, “I never fall down. I always fight,” by Gianni Versace. Wade spoke highly about his stylist Jason Bolden who is a popular celebrity stylist.

Talking about the preparation for the HoF, he said, “Coming here this week, we wanted to tell a story. We wanted to tell a story about a brand that we both associated with, that we’re fond of, that we’ve been watching our lives, and that’s the Versace story.”
Wade then opened up about representing the brand. He added, “But we also want to represent the brand the way that we want to see the brand continue to move and evolve towards. And that’s the renaissance man. That’s the modern man.”
