During the game, the public address announcer introduced Wade to the limited capacity seating at Vivint arena in Salt Lake City, Utah.

"Three-time NBA champion and now joining the Utah Jazz family," the announcer yelled. "As a new member of our ownership group, DWYANE WADE!"

Wade stood, waved his hand and bowed to the cheering crowd.

The Jazz have shocked the NBA by possessing the best record in the league and being the first seed in the Western Conference this late in the season.

Adding Wade into the fold will only do more good for the organization with a rising star in Donovan Mitchell, who many believe to a very similar player and possess a similar skillset as Wade.
