But no one could have predicted what would follow, and the Heat deserve all the credit in the world for the idea.
The team elected to recreate Wade’s famous “From Robbins, Illinois” Converse commercial, but his 17-year-old son, Zaire, played his role instead.

Wade checked out of the game with one minute remaining, with Heat fans showering him with “MVP” chants.
