Dwyane Wade Announces He’s Leaving Miami, Kelly Ripa Gives Him Hot Pants

One day after announcing he will be taking his talents to Chicago, NBA superstar Dwyane Wade co-hosted Live With Kelly. Wade talked about how hard the decision was to make after 13 seasons with the Miami Heat, and how much sleep, and weight, he lost while trying to decide what to do.

Though intrigued by the weight loss through sleep deprivation, Kelly Ripa had her mind on other things, like NBA players’ shorts. She held up a pair of Wade’s shorts, which were huge, then showed a picture of NBA legend Julius Erving wearing very short shorts.

In an effort to take the NBA back to the old school, Ripa presented Wade with very small Chicago Bulls shorts, which she referred to as “hot pants.” She insisted Wade bring back the “hot pants” style, but as he put it, “I don’t know if my teammates will allow me to wear those.”

He did say he would wear them around the house though.
