Miami Heat legend is heading to the Chicago Bulls after 13 seasons in Florida, and it appears that Wade's going to be able to keep his number. Chicago's Doug McDermott wore the No. 3 for the Bulls for his first two seasons in the league, but after the news broke that Wade was coming home in free agency, McDermott posted on Instagram that the number belongs to the Bulls' new superstar.

McDermott also wore the No. 3 in college at Creighton. Switching to Scottie Pippen's 33 isn't an option, as the Bulls retired that number in 2005.
