Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade Invites Pearl Jam to Shoot Hoops at American Airlines Arena

Rob Slater on March 29, 2016

On April 9, Pearl Jam will indeed invade Miami-Wade County as their North American tour kicks off with a rare run through Florida. 

Being a good host, the Miami Heat star has given the band the key to American Airlines Arena, otherwise known as Wade’s house, along with an invite to Eddie Vedder and the band to shoot hoops whenever they’d like. In a video posted on the team’s Facebook page, which fittingly starts out with a clip of Wade burying Vedder’s Chicago Bulls in 2009 with a dramatic buzzer beater, the star guard welcomes the band to his house, and offers up an invite to play some hoops. 

While Vedder may fancy himself more of a baseball guy, bassist Jeff Ament just might take Wade up on his challenge. Although if Ament can’t get past Win Butler, he might have some trouble getting through the three-time NBA Champion. 

Major key alert!Pearl Jam will be here on April 9th, but first, Dwyane Wade has an invitation for Eddie Vedder and his bandmates…
