‘One Last Dance': Dwyane Wade is back for one more season

Share

In an introspective announcement posted on his YouTube channel Sunday afternoon, Dwyane Wade says he's giving it one final go with the Miami Heat for what will be his 16th NBA season.

"You ask yourself a lot of questions," the three-time NBA champion and future Hall of Famer asks rhetorically in the 10-minute video. "Can I deal with every step hurting in the morning? Can I deal with the travel? Can I be away from my family? Is it selfish to continue being away from my family? Can I miss my son's games? Can I miss my son? Can I not be there in moments that they need me?"

Wade's oldest son, Zaire, is a junior point guard at South Florida prep power American Heritage (Plantation, Fla.), who recently picked up his first Division 1 scholarship offer last month from the University of Nebraska.

Wade returned to the Heat at the trade deadline in February, after two seasons split between the Cleveland Cavaliers and his hometown Chicago Bulls. He appeared in 26 games with the Heat last season, all off the bench, averaging 12.9 points.
