Although Dwyane Wade was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in August 2023, he solidified his status as a legend of the game over the past few days.
The No. 5 pick in the 2003 NBA Draft had himself a fantastic career. He was a part of three NBA Championship teams with the Miami Heat, and was named Finals MVP in 2006. In terms of other personal accolades Wade was named to 13 NBA All-Star teams, eight All-NBA teams and was also the NBA scoring champion in 2009.
While fans won't forget how great of a player he was anytime soon, Wade added a bit of a reminder in his recent tattoo splurge. As shared on social media, Wade collaborated with popular tattoo artist Clifford Chen, for a new piece across his chest.
As seen in the post, the new ink commemorates his entire career, ranging from his jersey at Marquette to him walking up the stage at his Basketball Hall of Fame induction.
It also features the quote "We in the Hall of Fame, dawg."
A message Wade said to his father after his induction.
As one could imagine, fans on social media were loving the tribute to his legendary career.
"Legendary 1/1, wrote one fan.
"Best piece he's gotten so far & originality," commented another.
"Dope," said another.
"Cleannnnn," commented a fourth.
Hardest chest piece I seen," exclaimed another.

Although Wade will forever be remembered as a Heat legend, he didn't spend the entirety of his 16-year career with them. He also had stops with the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers.
In terms of what he is doing now that his playing days are behind him, Wade is a minority owner of the Utah Jazz, hosts a podcast and is also expected to join Amazon Prime Video’s NBA coverage.
