ESPN/Twitter

You could have fooled us, Dwyane Wade.

The Miami Heat's All-Star guard was seen shedding a tear during the national anthem prior to Sunday afternoon's Game 7 against the Charlotte Hornets at the American Airlines Center.

Following his team's huge 106-73 victory, Wade assured everyone that he wasn't getting emotional, saying he was "just sweating."

Even his wife, actress Gabrielle Union, didn't buy that explanation. She took to Twitter afterward to accuse her husband of "sweating" when they watch "Nashville" together.
