The power forward, who is part of the top ten all-time scoring list in NBA history with 27,370 points, has never won a championship ring. His move to the Lakers is one he hopes will help him win a championship, playing alongside LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook.
#4 Dwyane Wade
Dwyane Wade was absent at the just concluded 2021 Met Gala. His wife, who was present, teased about him missing the event because he chose to watch the Bears game instead. However, Wade was present at the previous edition of the Gala in 2019. He matched his wife in a black tux with a hoodie sown to his jacket.
Wade has a career average of 22 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game. He played his final career game in stellar fashion, recording a triple-double. He bowed out with 25 points, ten assists and 11 rebounds per outing.
