Recently, a resurfaced picture was found of Dwayne Johnson, along with Udonis Harlemand Dwyane Wade. The NBA stars are gifting a Miami Heat jersey with The Rock written on the bank with the number 1 printed on it.

Dwayne Johnson shared the post on his Twitter where he said, “Congratulations my boys @KingJames @DwyaneWade @chrisbosh “UD” @MiamiHEAT NBA CHAMPS #MiamiPride.”

The picture was taken 10 years ago in 2012 when Johnson’s acting career skyrocketed to more heights. He had become a major celebrity across the globe as a wrestler and also as an actor.

Rock just turned up the heat in this picture by tagging LeBron James with Harlem and Wade in the picture. It was a pride moment for Johnson as he got a jersey of his home-state team from the players of the team. 

What other things did Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson was doing in 2012?

The above-unearthed picture of Dwayne Johnson is from 2012. This was the year when Dwayne Johnson became The Rock once again after a decade. In 2011 The Rock returned as the host of WrestleMania 27 and by the end of the same had the first match in WWE after a long time at Survivor Series.

However, in the episode of ‘Young Rock’, the match between the two was teased. A young Roman Reigns is seen asking ‘The Rock’ to wrestle with him. The Rock neglects the request saying this will be a WrestleMania caliber match and now is not the right time.
