Dwyane Wade decided to stop by Quicken Loans Arena on Friday night to support his friend and former “Big 3” era teammate LeBron James. In the second quarter, the TV broadcast took a close up shot of Wade, showing millions of viewers what he was wearing. And that’s when social media took over to have some fun at Wade’s expense.

Although Wade’s most memorable NBA Finals moments have taken place wearing a jersey, this outfit will be hard to forget.
