Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade apologised issued an apology yesterday to anyone who was offended for his use of the phrase "World Trade" while speaking about the upcoming NBA season.
Wade's remarks had come on Sunday prior to the annual charity basketball game he co-hosts with Alonzo Mourning.
"In an interview yesterday, I attempted to explain how some people may view the Miami Heat losing a few basketball games in a row during the upcoming season," he said.u00a0 "It appears that my reference to the World Trade Center has been either inaccurately reported or taken completely out of context.
"I was simply trying to say that losing a few basketball games should not be compared to a real catastrophe. While it was certainly not my intention, I sincerely apologise to anyone, who found my reference to the World Trade Center to be insensitive or offensive."
The September 11, 2001 attacks on the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York killed nearly 3,000 people.
