Just when we thought Kevin Durant was shaking up the NBA, Dwyane Wade drops an even bigger bomb.
Not a stranger to creating his own noise, Wade has signed a two-year, $47 million dollar contract with the Chicago Bulls, marking his return to his hometown and the sports world. The star player has been with the Miami Heat for his entire career – as an All-Star player twelve times and a three time champion.
The humble NBA star shared that his choice wasn’t a simple one to make.
“This was not an easy decision, but I feel I have made the right choice for myself and my family,” Wade wrote in a letter to Miami, released to The Associated Press.
And seeing reactions from the Twitterverse, D.Wade isn’t the only one that feels that way.
The sports world and Chicago fans exploded at his news. Check out some of the fan reactions below!
