The CBS Sports Network highlighted more moments from the ceremony, which included his No. 3 jersey taking its place among other Golden Eagles legends in the rafters of the Fiserv Forum:
Wade averaged 19.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.2 blocks across two seasons at Marquette before the Heat selected him with the fifth overall pick in the 2003 draft.
He led the Golden Eagles to the Final Four of the 2003 NCAA tournament, which was eventually won by the Syracuse Orange and Most Outstanding Player Carmelo Anthony.
The 37-year-old Chicago native has gone on to put together a Hall of Fame career at the pro level with three NBA championships, the 2006 NBA Finals MVP Award and 12 All-Star Game selections.
