Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls dominated the 90s, changing the face of the NBA. Many players who are in the league right now, or were in the league, grew up watching Jordan. This includes retired Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade who grew up as a huge fan of Jordan.

In a recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Wade talked about his new photobook/memoir ‘Dwyane’, Steph Curry, his time playing with LeBron James, and about Jordan.

Interestingly, it seems like Wade’s book draws a bit of inspiration from the ‘Rare Air’ book by the Bulls legend.

What does Michael Jordan’s Rare Air book mean to Dwyane Wade?

To those unaware, Wade’s ‘Dwyane‘ is a photographic memoir of the NBA icon. It includes over 100 pictures covering Wade’s life, both on and off the court. Jordan’s ‘Rare Air‘ is similar, with his rare pictures printed along with Jordan’s own thoughts added in the book. It gave a glimpse into his life and mind, covering various aspects that were never explored before.

How did the book help Wade see Jordan?

Wade was a part of the league for 16 seasons, spending most of them with the Miami Heat. He won three NBA titles with the team and has rightfully earned a spot as one of the greatest players to play in the NBA. The 13-time NBA All-Star retired in 2019 but has been closely linked with the league ever since.
