Dwyane Wade is one of the most eccentric and noteworthy players to have played in the NBA during the 2010s. A Miami Heat legend, the Chicago native is well respected in the city of vice as he is their all-time leading scorer. Known for his explosiveness, excellent game sense, and fast-paced approach, Dwyane was fondly called ‘The Flash’. Drafted in 2003 the legendary guard spent 16 years in the league before retiring in 2019.

Although retiring early due to reoccurring injuries, Wade has since gone on to become a successful businessman.

While he did retire in Miami, the legend had a brief exodus from his beloved team during the 2016-17 season. The star recently opened up on his infamous exit, as he discarded any hard feelings from that time.
