Dwyane Wade knows he's going to hear plenty of questions when he returns to his hometown of Chicago.
Wade expects to face plenty of criticism between now and Sunday as he hosts a variety of charity-themed events to help underprivileged kids.
"I expect to hear that for a while," Wade said.
"But kids are fans of the game of basketball and fans of certain players as well. They think it's cool in a way. It's more so the adults who don't understand why you didn't choose their cities."
Wade became a free agent July 1 and met with the Bulls twice, but ultimately re-signed with the Heat.
"Whatever jersey I'm wearing, I'm still here," he said. "I'm still in the community, I think I'm doing something impactful and bigger than the game of basketball. It had nothing to do with Chicago. It had nothing to do with the Chicago Bulls. It had everything to do with Miami and what we had a chance to do down there."
