ROFL sin od Wadea zakucao preko njega sa igračkom i rekao "Gibson" 

And then a reporter asked about his son, Zaire, who had dunked on his dad with a toy basketball and screamed, "Gibson!"

As in Taj Gibson, the Chicago forward whose towering dunk over Wade had summed up the Bulls' night as much as it had Wade and the Heat's futility.

It was a dunk that, after the game, led Wade to quip, "Yeah that was a good one. But that's a great ratio for me. The first time I've been dunked on all year. I'll take my 90-1 dunks this year."

Only now, 15 hours later, his own son's taunt made Wade smile. Then laugh. Heartily.

"Yeah," Wade said, looking a lot more like himself, "you gotta love your kids. Just made me smile. It made me laugh. He loves his dad but he loves the game as well, so he appreciated Taj's dunk on me. So we had a little fun with that.

"He made me laugh," Wade said, still looking happy and at ease for the first time. "You move on from stuff, you laugh about it."
