"At 9 years old, I moved in with my father because my mother could no longer care for me. Looking back, I now see so many similarities between my own childhood and that of my sons. My father stepped in when I needed him, and that gave me the chance for a better life. That's what I'm doing for my boys now."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"You have to remember that you only want to use your dunks at the right time. If you do it at the right time, you can wake up everybody and change the whole momentum of the game. It can get the crowd up, get your teammates up. It can wake up yourself, too, if you're not shooting well."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"Yes, it's true - I love the roar of the crowd. When the fans are with you, their voices come together in a big booming rush of sound that you can actually feel in your body - almost like a wave that lifts you and carries you past your own limits."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"Wherever you go, things change you. I mean, obviously moving to Miami and becoming part of the NBA has given me a different perspective on style than I had when I lived in Chicago or Milwaukee."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"When people say that a certain sport is not a sport - have them play that sport and see if they can do it. Golf is one of the hardest sports you've ever played. Bowling is all about concentration, it's all about focus, it's all about aim."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"We're focusing on what we need to do. The only attention we're thinking about is giving each other the attention that we need as a team, and making sure that everyone in here knows how they important they are to our success."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"We go through life so fast and we never really get to enjoy moments. It seems like they go past us...Tonight I just wanted to take a minute, a moment and soak it in and be a kid from Robbins Illinois and be a kid from Marquette University."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"The funny thing is, last summer we were golfing together, me, him and Alonzo Mourning. I don't know how to golf, but it's an unbelievable opportunity to go out and golf with one of the greats. And he's out there making fun of my swing - I can't hit the ball - and I'm getting frustrated because I'm a competitor. So Alonzo pulled me aside and said, 'Man, you're getting the chance to golf with Bill Russell. How many people can say they've done that?' And I looked at him and said, 'You know what? You're right.'"
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"The biggest surprise has been making the adjustment after losing a game. In the NBA you could lose tonight and you have to put that game behind you because you have another game the next night."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"One night I'm going to have a big night scoring; some nights I'm going to have a big night doing other things. Just doing whatever it takes to win the ballgame, not necessarily sitting up here worrying about scoring 30 points."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"My name is very important to me. I'm representing the Wade name. I've got the name on the back of my jersey when I play. I walk around with that name. That's my family name, the name my son will grow up with. So it's very important to me to keep the level of maturity that I have."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"My life changed in a huge way. Mentally, I've been preparing for it for over a year now. To me, it's bigger than that. For me, it shows a lot of people that you need to fight to be in your kids' lives sometimes. You fight until you can't fight any more. That's all I was trying to be, a father in his kids' lives."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"My job, my whole life, I've always had that kind of doubter, people have always doubted me. And I don't know how I would succeed without it. So I welcome it, and it gives me a challenge, and I will see if I can live up to my challenge."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"My biggest achievement - besides being drafted into the NBA - was becoming a father. Being a father has made me experience things that have contributed to my maturity and personal growth."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"It's about taking advantage of the opportunities you have right now, and right now we're in a position where you call somebody and they're willing to pick up and take the call because they're a fan, you have to take advantage of that and have a chance to capitalize on your ideas."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"If someone wears something you like, you make comments on it. And if someone wears something we don't like, we make comments on it, too. That's just what guys do, what teammates do. Besides that, we don't really compete in that space."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"I've decided to listen to my doctors and get the procedure I need on my knee. USA Basketball said I had to do what was best for me. They want me to be obviously as healthy as possible so I can continue to play this game at a high level."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"I've always cared about my personal style and the way people perceive me. I know a lot of times people don't get the opportunity to talk to me, so they're just going to see what I wear, see how I'm dressed, see how I present myself."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"I would have to name two people - my parents. I've seen them come through adversity and work hard to create the best life for me and my siblings. Although I don't remember them together as a couple, I remember the love they had for their children."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"I think the biggest thing I've learned is to not really worry what people will say or think about what you wear. You have to wear what feels good on you, what you feel comfortable in. And I've just learned to not really care."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"I supported Obama because of his relationships. A lot of the things he believes in, you would say that it's not in the best interest for someone in my tax bracket, but it's not about that. It's about him making the world better and making it equal and even all around, and that's what I'm supporting when I supported Obama."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"I have two definitions of success - one on the basketball court and one in my personal life. In basketball, success means making my teammates better, winning basketball games and winning championships. In my personal life, success means being a good father to my sons and raising them to be strong men; taking care of my family and being a good friend; and using my influence to make a difference in the community."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"I have to give credit to the NBA, because they've done an unbelievable job of taking our game global and putting us in a position to be able to come here and other places in the world and see how big the game of basketball is. If you have never been here, you might not really understand how amazing and how big basketball is. These fans in China love the sport, and they have more players playing than we have people living in the US."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"I grew up in the inner city of Chicago, and then I moved to Robbins, and it kind of raised me. When I was in college, I actually had them change the starting lineup to say 'from Robbins, Illinois' instead of 'Chicago, Illinois.'"
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"All children need their fathers, but boys especially need fathers to teach them how to be men."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"Always be involved in your children's lives. Life gets hectic but we have to find a way to always stay connected and let our kids know that they are loved."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"Anytime an artist puts your name in a song, it's unbelievable. It never gets old."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"Before even Court Grip, I just wanted to be a part of a brand that I felt that listened to the athlete and really catered to the athlete, and gave us what we were looking for."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"Being a leader is one thing I've never felt comfortable with. It's not my nature."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"Every morning when I wake and every night when I go to sleep, I'm thinking about what I can do to become a better father and a better person."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"Every time I look at my children, they remind me to work harder and become a better man."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"Everybody was calling. I think everybody called every player in the league. Thats history right there."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"Fashion's about taking chances, it's about taking risks, and just doing it the way you feel comfortable doing it. If you do that, people will respect it more."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"Fatherhood is the best thing that could happen to me, and I'm just glad I can share my voice."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"Fatherhood, to me, isn't something you do for awards or acclaim. It's a privilege and a huge responsibility"
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"For home games, I bring my clothes to the arena. I bring two different outfits that I can pick after the game. Road game, I got to wear what I walk in with."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"Growing up, I always dreamed of winning an NBA championship, never a gold. A gold was something that never crossed my mind."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
"Guys who might not be superstars but because of their hustle, because of the little things they do, these are the guys who can really mean the difference between winning and losing."
Quote by -Dwyane Wade
