Overview

All of his life, Dwyane Wade has been meeting challenges. His parents separated when he was an infant. When he was six, he had to leave his mother's home because of her drug abuse. While living with his father, Dwyane learned basketball, but not academics. Because of Dwyane's low test scores, only three colleges recruited him. But after starring for two seasons at Marquette University, Dwyane left college early to enter the NBA draft in 2003. Although Dwyane was overshadowed in the draft by superstars LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, the young star has put together an exceptional NBA career. He helped lead Miami to an NBA championship in 2006 while being named the Finals MVP and the Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year. But Dwyane also remembers his roots, giving back to the community through his charitable Wade's World Foundation.
