Dwyane Wade played the final game of his NBA career to a crowd of all-star fans last night, April 10, at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.

LeBron James, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony were among the superstars in attendance to watch D-Wade's final moments with the league, with the Miami Heat ultimately facing a 113-94 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. Nevertheless, Wade managed to pull off one last triple-double, finishing with 25 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

After the game, Wade finished his custom of exchanging jerseys with players by giving his to Anthony. Wade credits Anthony as one of the people who persuaded him to return this season and enjoy a farewell tour. Since Anthony didn't last long enough with the Houston Rockets to play against Miami, Wade never got an opportunity to play against him this year and exchange jerseys. "That was a missing piece out of this whole season, so everything worked out great for him being here, for me having an opportunity to give him my jersey," Wade said.
