Future Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade is wrapping up a storied career at the end of the 2018-2019 NBA season. The 2006 NBA Finals MVP could play his final game in April if his Miami Heat (currently the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference) don’t make the playoffs.
With Wade’s swan song quickly approaching its conclusion, the three-time NBA champion sat down with ESPN’s The Undefeated to reflect on his impending retirement. During the conversation, journalist Justin Tinsley had some fun with Wade by asking the celebrated shooting guard about the many rappers (everyone from Kendrick Lamar to LL Cool J) who’ve referenced him in lyrics.
With Tinsley’s help, Wade picked out three lyrics that stuck with him over the years. Fellow Chicago native Kanye West was the one that stood out most to the Miami Heat star. Lines by Drake and Lil Wayne also emerged as notable references to round out his Top 3.
Check out Wade’s selections below.
