The long-awaited photographic memoir from basketball superstar Dwyane Wade, beautifully designed with hundreds of photos from Wade's life on and off the court.

"[A] trip down memory lane with one of the NBA's greats. ... For those yearning for the personal side of Wade, they need to look no further." —Sports Illustrated

For 16 years, Dwyane Wade has dazzled basketball fans with his on-court artistry and has built his personal brand into one of the most powerful ones in sports. In this beautiful full-color memoir, featuring more than 200 photos from Bob Metelus, who has been documenting Wade's career for more than a decade, Wade takes readers inside his fascinating life and career.

Dwyane moves from Wade's challenging upbringing on the South Side of Chicago through his college career at Marquette, where he went from unheralded recruit to one of college basketball's greatest stars, to his extraordinary years with the Miami Heat, with whom he won three NBA championships and was named an All-Star 13 times. Off the court, too, his star has transcended basketball. In Dwyane he takes readers inside his relationship with Gabrielle Union; his dedication to his children and experiences as a father; and his varied interests outside of basketball, from fashion to winemaking.

Dwyane is a deep dive into the mind and heart of one of the most compelling basketball players of all time.

      In this memoir, Wade recounts the journey from his challenging childhood in Chicago to the superstar status he achieved while playing college and professional basketball. (In 2019 the 13-time NBA All-Star retired after 16 years, most with the Miami Heat.) He also delves into his business success and the importance of family (focusing on his wife, actress Gabrielle Union, and the five children they're raising). The writing is personal and full of admonitions (largely consisting of familiar sports clich�s) for those who would follow his example. While Wade's book also discusses coaches, trainers, and important friends, it would be incorrect to label it as just an autobiography. (Those seeking more autobiographical detail should see Wade's 2014 book A Father First.) Easily the most important feature of this volume is the nearly 200 previously unseen full-color photographs of some of the greatest moments from Wade's basketball career and family life, all taken by Bob Metelus, who has documented Wade's career and life for over a decade. VERDICT Fans of Wade and the NBA will be thrilled by this collection and can spend hours browsing the pictures. This coffee table-style book is especially recommended for school and public libraries where basketball is popular.--Steve Dixon, State Univ. of New York, Delhi
