As if it wasn't official already, Dwyane Wade visited the LIVE with Kelly show to talk about his decision to leave the Miami Heat and sign with the Chicago Bulls.
Ripa, who already knew what went down the evening before Wade's visit said it was a long night for the show as well because they weren't sure he would show up after his big announcement, that he would be signing with the Chicago Bulls.
She also asked him once again to clarify that he is the newest member of the Bulls.
"I mean it's still surreal and I'm still numb," said Wade.
"The decision that I had to make last night, I mean I've been in Miami for 13 years, 13 incredible years and to get a week to decide what you have to do.
I didn't get no sleep, I lost probably 5 or 10 pounds not being able to eat."
Wade continued to say that he would like to thank his fans, "Heat Nation," for embracing him and growing up with him. He stressed that the fans were phenomenal. Ripa said that Wade was one of the athlete's that transcends the sport.
She also asked Wade if he remembers winter and that they may need to get him a coat and a hat.
