Dwyane Wade seems very happy to be back in Miami, and Heat fans have certainly welcomed him home. Wade played the first 13 years of his career in Miami, and it would be the perfect storybook ending for the great shooting guard to end his career there as well.

Though Cleveland fans are mostly thrilled with the team's rapid roster overhaul, which took place at last Thursday's trade deadline, some fans are bummed to have lost an entertaining player in Wade. Cleveland sent Wade to Miami for a protected second-round pick.

One fan in particular traveled a great distance to see his hero play in Cleveland, and he made sure Wade knew about it.

Wade didn't leave the guy out to dry. On Twitter, he promised to hook up the guy with tickets to a Heat game.

If Someone can track this guy down. I’ll make sure he gets tickets to a game this season https://t.co/9Dqq8YZ85T

And, of course, the fan was elated.

@DwyaneWade I am the guy with the sign! You have been my favorite player my whole life and I would LOVE to come watch you play! I’ll be wearing your Heat jersey and WoW shoes to the game!

He has a bunch of tweets and RTs on his timeline regarding the sign. He's clearly enjoying his moment.

. @DwyaneWade that’s my boyfriend!!!! He wants this so bad!!! You are his all time favorite player! He even has your shoes!!! This is @sNICKers__20 !!!!! pic.twitter.com/HNaSQFvTGf

Wade has played two games for the Heat since the trade. In the most recent, a three-point loss to Toronto, he put up 10 points in 21 minutes off the bench.
