Dwyane Tyrone Wade Jr. (
After a successful
Early life
Wade was born the second of two children to JoLinda and Dwyane Wade Sr. in Chicago, Illinois, on January 17, 1982. Wade attributes the uncommon spelling of his and his father's first name to his grandmother.[11] JoLinda already had two children when she married Wade's father, and with him she had Dwyane and his older sister Tragil. The pair separated when Wade was four months old. Wade described his early childhood in the South Side of Chicago as trying.[12]
When his parents divorced, JoLinda was given custody of the two children. JoLinda struggled with drug addiction and often committed crimes that sent her to prison. At eight years old, Tragil tricked her brother Dwyane into thinking they were going to the movies, only to take him to live with his father and stepmother. Wade visited his mother on occasion until his father moved the family to Robbins, Illinois, after which Wade would not see her for two years.[13]
Wade turned to basketball and football, avoiding the temptations of drugs and gangs. Wade credited Tragil as the person most responsible for pointing him in the right direction.[14] Wade grew up idolizing Michael Jordan and modeled his game after him.[15] On October 14, 2001, as Wade's basketball career blossomed, JoLinda vowed to turn her life around. She says that she has not used drugs since 2003.[16]
High school career
Wade played basketball and football for Harold L. Richards High School in Oak Lawn. He immediately excelled as a wide receiver and also played as a backup quarterback, but success in basketball took longer.[14] He grew four inches by the start of his junior year and emerged as the team leader, averaging 20.7 points and 7.6 rebounds.[17]
Wade's improvement continued into his senior year, when he averaged 27 points and 11 rebounds.

Professional career
Miami Heat (2003–2016)
Rookie year (2003–04)
Selected fifth in the 2003 NBA draft by the Miami Heat, Wade became the highest ranked of only four Marquette first round draft picks.[27] Wade quickly emerged as a productive player, averaging 16.2 points on 46.5% shooting as well as 4 rebounds and 4.5 assists.[28] After a 5–15 start, the Heat gradually improved to finish 42–40 and qualify for the playoffs.[29] Wade served up outstanding postseason performances, particularly against the Indiana Pacers during the Eastern Conference Semifinals.[27] Wade earned a unanimous selection to the 2004 NBA All-Rookie Team[27] and finished third in Rookie of the Year voting (after LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony).[27] He placed among the top five rookies in several statistical categories, including second in field goal percentage, second in steals, third in scoring, fourth in assists, and fourth in minutes played.[27]
In the first playoff game, Wade hit a running jumper with 1.3 seconds left in the final quarter to give the Heat an 81–79 victory over the
Breakthrough year (2004–05)
The Heat traded with the Los Angeles Lakers for center Shaquille O'Neal. Improving on their previous season's 42–40 record by 17 games, Miami went 59–23, leading the Eastern Conference.[30] Wade earned a reserve slot in the season's All-Star Game; adding 14 points in 24 minutes of play.[28]

After the All-Star break, Wade recorded 50 points on 56.6% shooting along with 5 rebounds and 5 assists during a blow-out loss to the Orlando Magic;[58] making him the fourth in NBA history to score at least 50 points in a game that his team lost by at least 20.[58] In the very next contest, Wade recorded a career-high 16 assists and added 31 points and 7 rebounds.[59] Wade became the second player to record 15 or more assists after scoring 50-plus points since Wilt Chamberlain.[60] Two games later, Wade tied a franchise record, scoring 24 points in the final quarter to secure a 120–115 win over the New York Knicks.[61] For the game, Wade recorded 46 points on 55% field goal shooting, plus 10 assists, 8 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocked shots.[61] In the next game he banked 40-points versus the Cleveland Cavaliers.[62] Wade put up 41 points on 53% shooting along with 9 assists, 7 steals, 7 rebounds and a block in the 107–100 loss.[62] The following game, Wade tied his career-high with 16 assists and added 35 points on 62% shooting, 6 rebounds, plus a steal and a block, as the Heat beat the Phoenix Suns 135–129.[63] Wade became the only player in Heat history to have multiple games with 30-plus points and 15 or more assists.[63] Less than a week later, Wade hit the buzzer-beater and tied his earlier franchise record with his 78th straight double-digit scoring game in double-overtime against the Chicago Bulls.[64] Wade finished the game with 48 points on 71.4% shooting, 12 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks in 50 minutes of play.[64] Wade joined Chamberlain as the only players in NBA history to record that many points and that many assists in a single game while having as high of a field goal percentage.[65] Two games later, Wade surpassed Alonzo Mourning to become the Heat's all-time leading scorer in triple overtime versus the Utah Jazz.[66] Wade finished that 140–129 victory with 50 points to go along with his 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks.[66]
Wade became the only player to reach 2,000 points, 500 assists, 150 steals, and 100 blocks as well as the only player under 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 m) to block upwards of 100 shots in a single season.
On November 1, in what was only his third game of the
On February 17, Wade strained his calf. He left the game, ending his personal and the Heat's franchise-record streak of 148 consecutive games with at least 10 points.[78] Wade was named Eastern Conference Player of the Month for the fifth time and Player of the Week twice for his play in the month of March. He averaged 26.9 and 7.5 assists, both of which ranked third in the Eastern Conference, and 2.3 steals per game, which ranked first. Wade recorded six 30-point games and had six double-doubles in the month, including a season-high 14 assists.[79]
For the season, Wade averaged 26.6 points on 47.6% field goal shooting to go with 6.5 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.1 blocks; doing so, he led his team to a 47–35 record and the fifth playoff seed.[47] In the first round, down 0–3 against the Boston Celtics, Wade recorded a career playoff and franchise record with 46 points; he outscored the entire Celtics team in the fourth quarter.[80] It was Wade's sixth career playoff game with at least 40 points.[47] Despite his averaging 33.2 points on 56.4% shooting, 6.8 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 1.6 steals, and 1.6 blocks per contest, the Heat fell to Boston in five games.[81]

During the off-season, the
In the first year of the Big 3 Era, the Heat finished with a 58–24 record and earned the second seed in the Eastern Conference. Wade averaged 25.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.5 steals while shooting 50%. After defeating the Philadelphia 76ers, Boston Celtics, and Chicago Bulls, the Heat reached the

In the playoffs, injuries limited Wade to a career-low scoring average of 15.9 points per game, but he upped his average to 19.6 points during the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs. After the teams split the first two games in Miami, the Spurs took Game 3. In Game 4, Wade scored 32 points on 56 percent shooting to go with 6 steals as the Heat won 109–93. The Spurs took Game 5 despite Wade's 25 points and 10 assists. Wade scored 14 points in Miami's overtime win in Game 6, followed by 23 points and 10 rebounds in Game 7 as the Heat clinched their second straight championship and Wade's third title.[90][91]
In the 2013–14 season, Wade missed 28 games from injuries and the team's decision to rest him during "back-to-back" games. Wade averaged 19 points and posted a career-high 54% field goal percentage. In the playoffs, the team increased Wade's minutes, highlighted by a 28-point performance in Miami's second-round victory over the Brooklyn Nets and a 23-point outing in a road victory against Indiana in the Eastern Finals. The Heat won the series in six games, advancing to their fourth straight NBA Finals. Wade averaged 19.1 points on 52 percent shooting, his best playoff percentage since 2010. The Heat lost to the San Antonio Spurs in the 2014 NBA Finals in five games.
Post-Big Three era (2014–2016)
On June 28, 2014, Wade and teammates James and Bosh all opted out of their contracts in order to cut costs, but intended to re-sign.[92] James then announced that he was returning to Cleveland. Wade re-signed with the Heat,[93] joined by Bosh, Udonis Haslem, Chris Andersen and Mario Chalmers as well as former rivals Danny Granger and Luol Deng.
In the 2014–15 season, Wade missed seven consecutive games due to a hamstring injury.[94] On December 17, 2014, he scored a season-high 42 points, his highest total in almost four years, but Miami lost 105–87 to Utah.[95] He was again named an All-Star but pulled out due to another hamstring injury.[96] The Heat finished the season with a 37–45 record, as Wade missed the postseason for just the second time.
On June 29, 2015, Wade opted out of his contract,[97] but then signed a one-year, $20 million contract.[98] Wade hit just seven 3-point shots during the 2015–16 regular season. However, in the 2016 postseason, Wade converted on his first seven three-point shot attempts. Wade had never made more than five three-pointers in a row.[99]
Chicago Bulls (2016–2017)
In July 2016, Wade joined his hometown team, the Chicago Bulls, on a two-year deal worth approximately $47 million.[100][101] Initially, the Heat offered a two-year, $20 million contract,[102] before increasing it to a two-year, $40 million offer, both of which Wade felt were unacceptable.[103][104] The relationship ended badly with Wade and the Heat squabbling.
Wade teamed with Jimmy Butler and Rajon Rondo in Chicago.[105] In January 2017, the trio were all fined for criticizing their young teammates' effort. In March 2017, Wade sustained a fractured elbow,[105] returning for the playoffs,[105] but the Bulls were defeated 4–2 by the Boston Celtics in the first round.[106]
Cleveland Cavaliers (2017–2018)
On September 24, 2017, three months after trading Butler and waiving Rondo, the Bulls reached an agreement on a buyout with Wade.[105] Three days later, Wade signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers, reuniting him with Miami Heat teammate LeBron James.[107] During the season, Wade objected to coach Tyronn Lue's plan to play him off the bench. Wade started for the Cavaliers in the first three games, but shot only 7-for-25. After a blowout loss to the Orlando Magic in the third game, Wade volunteered to take a bench role, becoming leader of the second unit.[108]
Return to Miami and retirement (2018–2019)
On February 8, 2018, at the NBA trade deadline, the Cavaliers overhauled their roster.[109] Acquiring guards Jordan Clarkson, George Hill and Rodney Hood, the Cavaliers[109] traded Wade back to the Miami Heat in exchange for a protected 2024 second-round draft pick.[110] At the funeral of Wade's long-time agent Henry Thomas in January, Wade mended relations with Riley. On February 9, in his first game, Wade was garnered a standing ovation and came off the bench in a 91–85 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.[111] On February 27, Wade scored a season-high 27 points as the Heat rallied to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 102–101. On April 3, in a 101–98 win over the Atlanta Hawks, Wade reached 5,000 assists in a Heat uniform, becoming the ninth player to score 20,000 points and collect 5,000 assists with one team, joining Karl Malone, Bryant, Jordan, James, Larry Bird, John Havlicek, Oscar Robertson and Jerry West.[112] On April 16, Wade scored 28 points to end the 76ers' 17-game winning streak and lead the Heat to a 113–103 Game 2 win over Philadelphia and even the first-round playoff series. He passed Larry Bird for 10th on the NBA's career postseason scoring list.[113]
In the off-season, Wade announced his intentions to retire after the 2018–19 season,[114][115][116] re-signing with the Heat on September 18.[117] He missed seven games in mid-November due to the birth of his daughter.[118] On November 25, Wade scored a season-high 35 points, the most ever by a Miami bench player.[119] On December 9, he scored 25 points in his 1,000th career game.[120] On January 6, 2019, Wade became the third player in NBA history to record at least 20,000 points, 5,000 assists, 4,000 rebounds, 1,500 steals, 800 blocks and 500 three-pointers.[121] Wade was named by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver as a special roster addition for the 2019 All-Star game, thus marking his 13th All-Star appearance.[122] Wade had received the second-most fan votes for guards in the Eastern Conference.[123] On April 9, Wade played his last home game in Miami, scoring 30 points.[124] In his final game the following night, Wade recorded his fifth career triple-double with 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists.[125][126]
On January 7, 2020, the Heat announced that Wade's No. 3 jersey would be retired on February 22.[127]
Basketball executive career
During his playing career with Miami, Wade had discussed the potential for a future ownership stake in the Heat franchise but Wade was unable to commit at the time, according to Heat owner Micky Arison.[128]
On April 16, 2021, it was announced that Wade had purchased an undisclosed minority ownership stake in the Utah Jazz franchise of the NBA, joining an ownership group led by his personal friend and associate, Ryan Smith, the Jazz majority owner and team governor. Wade is a member of a small ownership group that includes Smith, his wife Ashley, investor and Accel partner Ryan Sweeney, Atlassian co-founder Mike Cannon-Brookes and the Miller family, which previously owned the team.[4]
"This goes way beyond the dream I had to just play basketball in the NBA. I've seen Shaq do it in Sacramento. I've seen Grant Hill do it in Atlanta. I've seen Jordan do it in Charlotte. If this partnership is going to be anything like my relationship is with Ryan, there are going to be a lot of things that I'll want to be involved in. [...] Unfortunately, people in my community don't get this opportunity, and I do not take it lightly to have this opportunity. To make real change, this is where you have to be -- at the top -- and Ryan knows that. I'm thankful for him, and I know too that I bring a lot to this partnership outside of just my basketball knowledge and skills.
— Dwyane Wade on purchasing an ownership stake in the Jazz[4]
Wade said in the announcement of his purchase that he hoped to take a hands-on approach to his involvement, and highlighted his close brother-like relationship with Jazz star Donovan Mitchell, who he called the player most like him and "2.0".[4]
On July 14, 2023, it was announced that Wade joined the ownership group of the WNBA franchise Chicago Sky as a minority stakeholder.[129]
National team career
Wade was a member of the 2004 Olympic team, which won a bronze medal in Athens. The team competed in the 2006 FIBA World Championship in Japan, in which Wade averaged 19.3 points per game.[130] The U.S. national team won a bronze medal.[131] Wade was named to the national team roster from 2006 to 2008; and, together with James and Anthony, Wade co-captained the 2006 team.[132]

In March 2021, when asked about Michael Jordan, Wade stated that Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. He explained, "I come from a Jordan era. I am biased and I'm going to be biased until the day I pass away. Michael Jordan will be my GOAT. I'm not taking anything away from LeBron. LeBron is amazing. But Michael Jordan is my GOAT." Wade stated that Michael Jordan was his favorite player growing up. He explained, "For me, from Chicago, where I grew up, I made it out the hood because I seen a dude, No. 23, play the game of basketball at a level that I was like, I just want to do some of that."[177][178]
Philanthropy
Wade is well known for his philanthropic involvement. In 2003, he founded The Wade's World Foundation, which provides support to community-based organizations that promote education, health, and social skills for children in at-risk situations.[179] He hosts a variety of community outreach programs in Chicago and South Florida.[179] In 2008, he announced his partnership with former teammate Alonzo Mourning's charitable foundation and co-hosted ZO's Summer Groove, an annual summer event.[180][181] On December 24, 2008, Wade purchased a new home for a South Florida woman whose nephew accidentally burned down the family home.[182] In addition, Wade donated furnishings, clothing and gifts to the family.[182]
After breaking his own Miami Heat single-season scoring record, Wade gave the jersey he wore in that night's victory to 8-year-old Michael Stolzenberg, an avid Heat fan who lost his hands and feet due to a bacterial infection.[183] Wade stated that he knew Stolzenberg previously and wished to add to his collection of Heat memorabilia.[183] Wade is known for visiting other sick children, usually in private to avoid the media spotlight.[183]

In January 2010, Wade and Mourning co-founded The Athletes Relief Fund for Haiti",[185] which raised money to help the victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake. In the three days after the fund began soliciting donations from athletes, Wade announced that the "Athletes Relief Fund for Haiti" had already raised over $800,000.[185] Wade stated, "I expected nothing less from my friends and colleagues in the sports community, our commitment to this cause knows no bounds, and we will continue to accept any and all donations throughout the days ahead."[185] Wade is also an avid supporter of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and served as an Ambassador for their Hoops for St. Jude basketball initiative.[186]

'You look at everything he's done in the community, and with his ties to his church. I mean, obviously he was a worthy player. I think the time is right... If he was someone who I thought would never finish his degree, or someone who I thought didn't take his education seriously, then I would take issue with the jersey retiring,' said Paula Gillespie, associate professor of English.
