Marquette Golden Eagles made it a point to honor Dwyane Wade before and during Marquette’s game versus Providence on Sunday, January 20th. Wade is in his final year of playing basketball, and he fortunately had a space in his schedule where he could be at Marquette for a game. Heat played Chicago the night prior, and Wade came up for Sunday’s game. Marquette did everything the right way with the former fifth overall pick, and arguably the best college basketball player to come out of Marquette. Without Wade, I wonder if the Golden Eagles make it to the Big East. Here were some of the cool things from the day.

The intro video for the halftime ceremony. So many memories.

Wade’s speech to the Marquette faithful. Love his comments and think Wade will always be a friend to the program. (PS Slam, he has his jersey retired in 2007, assholes).

Congrats to @DwyaneWade for getting your @MarquetteMBB jersey retired! (via @CBSSportsNet) pic.twitter.com/xbbMIjNGHK

This was awesome. Marquette surprised him with his kids and gave him his letterman jacket.

January 20th is officially @DwyaneWade day in Milwaukee. Joined by his family, Wade is honored for his career at MU. What a tribute. @itsgabrielleu pic.twitter.com/St8OQgKmqL

There were other neat moments like Milwaukee’s Mayor Tom Barrett calling it ‘Dwyane Wade Day’ in the City of Milwaukee. Marquette grabbed him a banner from the rafters at the Bradley Center to take home. Marquette legends like Jae Crowder, Wes Matthews, Steve Novak, Travis Diener, Tom Crean all put together tribute videos for him during the game. All of it was so fucking cool. Marquette did an amazing job with it.

Thank you, Dwyane.

Charlie.
