Dwyane Wade’s new collaboration

Wade had an incredibly successful career in the NBA. He was the fifth overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft by the Miami Heat. He played in the NBA for 16 seasons. In that time, Wade clinched three NBA championships, made 13 All-Star appearances, and won a Finals MVP title in 2006. Although the Olympic Gold Medalist decided to hang up his boots in 2016, this didn’t mean that Wade was about to take a break from work. He has been one of the most popular athletes in the league and has collaborated with several companies while starting a good few of his own.
