Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade is set to be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame on August 12. In honor of this great accomplishment, the Heat compiled a video of players, coaches, family, and friends sending a message to Wade.

Coach Erik Spoelstra had this to say about his former player:

"Three-time champion, one of the greatest two guards of all time."

General manager Andy Ellisburg followed up by saying, "From the day you arrived in Miami, there was no question this is where you were gonna be."

Former coach and now team president Pat Riley said, "The infatuation that the city has had with you during your time here, winning three championships, and just the incredible amount of enthusiasm and spirit, and talent that you brought to the Miami Heat."

His good friend and former teammate, LeBron James, praised him for his work off the court.

"I know you going in, into the Hall as a basketball player, but more importantly, bro, what you have done as a man, as a father, as a businessman, goes beyond the hall," James said. 

The video concluded with his longtime teammate Udonis Haslem leaving with one last remark.

"I watched you grow from a boy to a man, to a great husband to a tremendous father to a leader philanthropist, and so many different things and so many roles you played," Haslem said. "You continue to inspire me, my brother. I love you. Congratulations, bro."

The sheer impact Wade had on the city of Miami and the players and coaches around him will forever be felt.
