Basketball legend Candace Parker is soon joining her friend Dwyane Wade<\/a> and many others in the sport\u2019s most prestigious club.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The two-time WNBA Most Valuable Player will be enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame later this year, and when she heard the news, she knew who her presenter for the event would be.<\/p>\n

In a video shared on social media by NBA on Prime, Parker gave Wade a handwritten letter during a plane ride, asking the Miami Heat<\/a> legend to join her on stage during the induction. <\/p>\n

\u201cDear No. 3\u2026 always looking out for me, through Olympic gold, medals, championships,\u201d Wade said, while reading the letter out loud. \u00a0\u201cYou have always had my back. It would be an absolute honor if you walk me and join me on stage at the Hall of Fame. I love you like a brother.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, Wade was happy to learn the news, immediately going over to Parker to give her a hug.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Wade\u2019s wife, Gabrielle Union<\/a>, saw the video of the heartfelt moment between her husband and Parker, who won three WNBA titles. <\/p>\n

\u201c[It\u2019s] only right,\u201d Union commented, adding a fire emoji for emphasis.<\/p>\n

Union clearly has no issue with her husband showing support for Parker. Like many basketball fans familiar with Parker\u2019s incredible career, Union was simply thrilled to know that the seven-time WNBA All-Star will receive a much-deserved spotlight.<\/p>\n

The induction ceremony for Parker and the rest of the Hall of Fame Class of 2026 will be held at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass., in August.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
