Dwyane Wade’s hometown is the city of Chicago, a city that also is the basketball home of the greatest of all time, Michael Jordan.

In an interview on Lewis Howes’ YouTube channel, Wade talked about the huge influence Jordan unknowingly had on him. Tonight, Wade will join Jordan as a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame.

“Michael didn’t know that this was that all these moments and whether he was talking to me, whether he was playing the game of basketball. He didn’t know, he didn’t know the influence that he was having on a little kid, you know growing up in the inner city of rob’s Illinois in Chicago. And his influence was so impactful on me.”
