“You know where I live,” Wade said. “Yeah let me get that.”
Wade and Pierce not only had a long history as rivals on the court, but have traded jabs off of it. Pierce notably claimed that he had a better basketball career than Wade in 2019.
Wade retired in 2019 after 16 seasons in the NBA.
The Heat face the Lakers in the NBA Finals on Wednesday at 9 p.m.

Hint: He didn’t make his first NFL start until he was 29 in 1999.
More from Boston.com:
Stephen Gostkowski has turned it around after a tough start in Tennessee:
Huge credit where it is due: after missing four kicks in Week 1, Titans K Stephen Gostkowski made a career-high six FG on Sunday, including a game-winning 55-yarder.
He’s the first kicker in 50 years with a game-winning FG in the final two mins of his team’s first three games.

Postgame Patriots soundbites:
On this day: In 1941, Ted Williams had a choice to make. Entering the day, he was batting .3995535, which would have officially rounded up to a .400 batting average.
While it’s officially unknown if Red Sox manager Joe Cronin actually asked Williams if he wanted to simply take the final day doubleheader off, Williams nonetheless played both games.
He went 6-8 over the two games, emphatically adding his name to the list of players who crossed the .4000 threshold over an entire season. After his impressive display, Williams’s average rose to .406, and he remains the last player to ever achieve such a standard.
Daily highlight: Jackie Bradley Jr. closed out the 2020 season with yet another highlight catch.
Catch Probability:*
Anyone Not Named JBJ: Not high
