Dwayne Wade stands on a pedestal where most NBA players strive to be at the end of their careers. To become an NBA player it takes a lot of skill and effort to make it into league. At the same time, you have a huge platform given to you to influence change for the better around the world and yourself.
DWade did exactly that during his career. He became an NBA Champion within four years of his career elevating the Miami Heat to another level. He averaged 22 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game executing monstrous dunks over players much bigger than himself. His career lasted 16 seasons which included several All-Star and All-NBA selections as well as three titles.
Dwayne Wade reveals insane high IQ move by Rajon Rondo
Dwayne Wade maybe known for his time as a Miami Heat player. For a short while, he also contributed his work to the Chicago Bulls and the Cleveland Cavaliers alongside LeBron James. He revealed an insane gambling story which had him lose $50,000 to Rajon Rondo. “Rondo is one of those guys that he can probably count all the cards. He shouldn’t play; he’s too smart.”
“So we were gambling with him and Jimmy says, ‘D, how much money you going to bring?’ I said, ‘We’re going on a two-week trip and I feel like man I’m going to bring a lot of money. I’m going to bring $50,000.’ I can lose $50,000 for this trip. I mean, not lose, but I’ll lose. I lost $50,000 within two hours on the plane ride. We didn’t even get to the city we were going to, and you know who else lost it? Jimmy Butler lost as well.”
Dwayne Wade’s run with the Chicago Bulls went by in a flash
During free agency, Dwayne Wade decided to go play with the Chicago Bulls as Michigan was where he grew up. The Heat decided to move into a completely different situation following LeBron’s departure from the team. Wade averaged 18.3 points for the one season he was a Bulls player alongside current Heat star Jimmy Bulter.
The following year he signed with the Cavs to make another championship run with his brother, Bron. That did not work out and finally he landed back where it all started. In 2018, he decided to hang up his jersey for good due to the risk of injuries that could affect his mobility or health in the long run. He worked up a historic career in the NBA and now is a minority owner of the Utah Jazz.
