Marino, Clinton, more: Best tweets of Dwyane Wade’s last night
As we write this, Dwyane Wade has played 17 minutes and scored nine points in the first half in Brooklyn — which is more than we expected. But after a nearly-perfect last night at AmericanAirlines Arena, the most interesting stuff today has been on social media, as luminaries have sent Wade off into retirement.

Congrats @DwyaneWade on a storied career. It’s been a joy to watch your sportsmanship and skill on the court and your compassion and leadership off the court. I’m looking forward to your next chapter. But please, let’s just stay off the scorer’s tables for now… #OneLastDance pic.twitter.com/TE2WwAHq83

Another spectacular career comes to an end with the great @DwyaneWade hanging it up. DWade reminded me a little of MJ in terms of his overall efficiency and effectiveness on both ends of the court. pic.twitter.com/4gBPc72Pz5
