Stepping off the bus, Hansen ran into the Heat Team just as they were finishing their practice.
Hansen proactively sought out Wade for a chat.
He had gleaned some information from Wade last year and saw this as an opportunity to do some subtle probing.
But some of Wade's words left a deep impression on Hansen.
"Han, I've been waiting for this day every moment of the season!"
Last year, the Heat's loss to the Cavaliers haunted him more than all the losses they had in the Finals.
After all, it was a series that seemed impossible for them to lose and was the closest they had come to a championship.
"Me too."
Just as he had previously thought, if the Cavaliers wanted to win the championship this season, the Heat was the hurdle they must overcome.
Before the start of the division finals, the League announced the season's All-NBA Teams.
Apart from Hansen securing his spot on the first team, Irving was also selected to the third team for the first time in his career.
