About this episode
Speaker: Dwyane Wade Dwyane Wade, selected fifth in the 2003 NBA Draft by the Miami HEAT, quickly displayed his talent from his Chicago roots and Marquette University. He earned NBA All-Rookie Team in his debut season and led the team to their inaugural NBA Championship in 2006. Wade excelled in international competitions, winning gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He secured two more NBA titles in 2012 and 2013 after rejoining the HEAT in 2018. Notably, during the 2018-19 season, he achieved a rare milestone by becoming the third player in NBA history with over 20,000 points, 5,000 assists, 4,000 rebounds, 1,500 steals, 800 blocks, and 500 three-pointers, also setting a record for blocked shots by a guard. His legacy was further celebrated as the Miami HEAT retired his jersey and a street was named in his honor. Wade's influence extended beyond basketball, as his production company contributed to impactful projects like the Emmy-nominated "Shot in the Dark" documentary and the Oscar-winning animated short "Hair Love." Recently, he was recognized as one of the NBA's 75 greatest players and played a pivotal role in capturing his remarkable journey in the documentary "D. Wade: Life Unexpected."
