In this story:


Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade is among the finalists for the Naismith Basketball Memorial Hall of Fame. 

Here's what he had to say about it: 

"I would say that I felt I did it every day, and I did it in so many different ways. You know, some people are lucky enough to go through their career and get the ball in their hand, and that's how they can ride. My journey didn't start that way, and my journey did not end that way. So to be able to find a way throughout the journey of basketball to become a complete basketball player, whether you're the No. 1 guy on the team or whether you are the guy that just has to make sure you're there before everybody gets there to be prepared to get your team ready as a scout player. I've done it all.

I felt that I gave the game everything that I had, and I did it every day. Along that journey there were so many people that helped me, that pushed me, that wouldn't allow me to give up on myself, wouldn't allow me to give up on that dream."
