VIDEO: Dwyane Wade plays 1-on-1 with fan for her 90th birthday
Those concerned Dwyane Wade is no longer the one-on-one scoring threat he was pre-LeBron James need look no further than a video posted by the Miami Heat on Tuesday.
In the video, Wade goes to work in a game of one-on-one, but it's his opponent, 90-year old "Grandma Nelly" Illuminada Magtoto, who steals the show. The diminutive Heat fan had sent in a video asking to play ball with Wade for her 90th birthday, and Wade was kind enough to oblige.
The game was pretty adorable, and so was Wade telling Grandma Nelly she throws a better alley-oop than Heat point guard Mario Chalmers.
Afterward, Wade sent Magtoto a message on Instagram.
CAPTION: Today after shootard. .I had the chance to meet this lovely lady. You never know the impact you have on people and meeting her made me realize yet again that my life is bigger than basketball. She presented a challenge to play me one on one for her 90th bday. Thanks to her family, the Miami Heat and TeamWade for making this wish come true. #biggerpurpose #hertearsalmostmademetear #happybday
Nice Lana Del Rey shoutout, D-Wade.
