Dwyane Wade's career was filled with many incredible highlights, but the most memorable one from his final home game came with a little help from his celebrity friends.

The moment was captured by Miami Herald photographer Charles Trainor Jr. and quickly went viral on Twitter, with the Miami Herald asking Teigen if she was interested in a copy for herself.
Teigen seemed to have a good attitude towards the moment, replying to the Herald's offer by calling the photo "a Renaissance painting."
On Wednesday, Spalding, the official basketball of the NBA, answered Teigen's call, commissioning artist Hugh Syme to re-create the photo in the style of a Renaissance painting and sending it to Teigen.
Teigen posted an Instagram of the painting on Wednesday. To put the size in perspective, it is leaning against a piano.
Now all that's left is for Teigen and Legend to decide where to put it.
