<p>Looks like the Heats nation just got a little bit colder as it has been announced earlier today that Dwyane Wade would be moving back home to Chicago!</p>
<p>Twitter went up in flames over the news many seeming as if they refuse to believe it. Well, D Wade released a statement to the Associated Press discussing the&#8221; extremely emotional and tough decision&#8221; to go to the Chicago Bulls.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>&#8220;Watching the Bulls growing up inspired me at an early age to pursue my dream of becoming a basketball player,&#8221; he continues. &#8220;I have never forgotten where I came from and I am thankful to have an opportunity to play for the team that first fueled my love of the game. Many of my family members still live in Chicago and I am excited to return home to a city very close to my heart.&#8221;</p>
<p>Read the entire statement below:</p>

<blockquote><p>Dear Miami,</p>
<p>This has been an extremely emotional and tough decision to come to. After 13 years, I have decided to embark on a new journey with the Chicago Bulls. This was not an easy decision, but I feel I have made the right choice for myself and my family.</p>
<p>I started my NBA career with the Miami Heat in 2003 and it has been an honor to have played with them and help build a winning franchise with three NBA championships. I look back with pride and amazement at all we have accomplished together. I want to express my gratitude to the Arison family, Pat Riley, Coach Erik Spoelstra, the coaching staff, and the entire Miami Heat organization.</p>
<p>From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank the Miami community and especially #HEATNATION for all of their love and support over the years. It has been truly incredible. I am deeply moved and appreciative of the positive messages from my fans expressing that they want what&#8217;s best for me and I know they will support my decision. The memories including championship parades and five conference titles are incredible moments we have shared that will always remain close to my heart as I begin the next chapter of my life.</p>
<p>Growing up in Robbins, Ill., I never dreamed that an NBA career could have even been possible and that one day I would wear a Chicago Bulls jersey. Watching the Bulls growing up inspired me at an early age to pursue my dream of becoming a basketball player. My most treasured memories were watching my dad play basketball on the courts of Fermi Elementary School and developing my game at the Blue Island Recreation Center. I have never forgotten where I came from and I am thankful to have an opportunity to play for the team that first fueled my love of the game. Many of my family members still live in Chicago and I am excited to return home to a city very close to my heart.</p>
<p>I look forward to returning to my roots and to what lies ahead.</p>
<p>Much Love and Respect,</p>
<p>D. Wade</p></blockquote>
