Coming July 1, it’s Miami-Wade County (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-heat-wadecounty)
Dwyane Wade is getting his own county.
By unanimous vote, Miami-Dade County commissioners declared Tuesday that the area would be known as “Miami-Wade County” from July 1-7, a week that coincides with the start of NBA free agency.
The resolution was written “in recognition of all that Dwyane Wade has done for the visibility, stature and national image” of the county.
Wade will become a free agent before July 1, which means he could leave the Miami Heat. Wade has repeatedly said he hopes to stay in Miami, but only if the Heat roster is upgraded.
