Miami Heats’ Dwyane Wade has announced he is returning to the NBA for “one last dance” and then he will retire.

The 2018/19 season will be Wade’s 16th in the NBA and the final year in what has been a legendary career. Announced through a video, the Chicago native said he given a lot of thought to the decision was happy he was going to do it.

“I’ve always done things my way,” Wade said. “Whether they’ve been good or whether they’ve been bad, I got here because I’ve done things the way that I feel is right for me and right for my family. And what I feel is right. I feel it is right to ask you guys to join me for one last dance, for one last season.”

“This is it. I’ve given this game everything that I have, and I’m happy about that, and I’m going to give it for one last season, everything else I have left.”

When he retires, the 2006 NBA Finals MVP will be the Heats’ most accomplished player. After leading them to their first ever NBA title, Wade went on to set a slew of records. He is the current record holder for the team’s points, assists, games played and steals.
