-- Rob Gronkowski stole the show at a Rick Ross concert over the weekend when he crashed the stage and danced during Ross’s performance at Rockwell nightclub in Miami.
Ross reportedly noticed Gronkowski in the crowd and called him onstage. The rapper then bought Belaire Rose for Gronkowski’s table.
Gronkowski also partied with Ross at Foxwoods after the Patriots’ Super Bowl win last year.

-- Dwyane Wade got emotional on Monday when he talked about a victim from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting who was buried in Wade’s jersey.
Joaquin Oliver was a sports fan and was excited to see Wade back with the Heat this season. His parents told Univision on Sunday they buried their son three days after the shooting in Wade’s jersey.
"It's emotional even thinking about that -- that his parents felt that burying him in my jersey was something that he wanted," Wade said. "You hurt for the family. If you ever get the opportunity to speak to them, you just try to hope the time where he was alive, that you were able to bring some form of joy to his life and something memorable."
“It’s way BIGGER than basketball,” Wade tweeted. “We are the voices for the people that don’t get to be heard. Joaquin Oliver may you Rest In Peace and i dedicate my return and the rest of this Miami Heat season to you.”
