The Last Prisoner Project was founded by the trio of Steve DeAngelo, Dean Raise, and Andrew DeAngelo in 2019. While the Instagram page of the brand commented on the post expressing gratitude, Wade’s wife Gabrielle Union also dropped a heart emoji in the comments section. Starting last year, Wade followed the tradition this year too by organizing the High Dining in honor of 420, the cannabis symbolic date.

Wade has known the founders of Jeeter, Lukasz Tracz and Sebastian Solano since 2019. Later, they translated their friendship into business. Ahead of Wade’s Hall of Fame induction, the brand also introduced a new lineup, ‘Hall of Flames’ to pay homage to the Miami Heat legend. Just recently, he was seen enjoying dinner with the Jeeter founders. Apart from Dwyane Wade, other NBA greats such as Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony are also involved in the cannabis industry.
