LeBron James took to Twitter to offer his congratulations to former teammate Dwyane Wade, who was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. The Miami Heat duo won two NBA championships together and were considered to be one of the greatest duos in the league. Wade spent 15 of his 17 NBA seasons playing for the Heat and was regarded as one of the better shooting guards in the league. He earned 13 All-Star selections, a scoring title, and was named the NBA Finals MVP in 2006.

Wade expressed his excitement upon learning of his induction, saying he felt like "a kid in a candy store right now." Aside from Wade, the Class of 2023 inductees include Dirk Nowitzki, Gregg Popovich, Pau Gasol, Tony Parker, Gene Keady, Gene Bess, David Hixon, Becky Hammon, Gary Blair, the 1976 Olympic women's basketball team, and the 1983 NCAA champion and broadcaster Jim Valvano. The Class of 2023 will be enshrined in Springfield, Mass., on Aug. 12, 2023.
