Wade grew up in a terrible home, and even in the black world, where the overall standard of living is modest, the standard of living of Wade's childhood can only be described as deplorable. His parents divorced when Wade was a child, his mother was addicted to drugs and often ran away from home to avoid the police, and they often saw each other less than once a year, according to the book "Father First: Wade's Own Account." His father was often unemployed and drank heavily because he was struggling to make ends meet. So Wade grew up like an orphan. In this case, the Theowans adopted Wade, put him through school, and later married their daughter. Wade didn't appear to be a superstar in high school or even at Marquette University, so life for the couple was extremely difficult, with Wade admitting after the 2003 draft that he couldn't afford milk powder or diapers for his baby. As Wade became one of the NBA's biggest stars, the rift between the couple began to fray. Theo Vaughan suspects Wade is seeing another woman, and Wade thinks his wife is too nosy. In "Father First: Wade's Own Account," Wade repeatedly said that a large part of the reason for his falling out with his wife was that she was paranoid about someone else and that he believed she was embezzling money from his accounts. In the summer of 2007, she filed for divorce from Wade, citing in part the fact that he was sleeping around and giving her sexually transmitted diseases. The remark shocked the nation, because until then Wade had been regarded as a "model husband" by the media. Since then, one of Wade's business partners has also sued Wade, claiming that Wade borrowed a vacant mansion from him, but that Wade often held sex parties at the mansion. The turmoil in Wade's personal life was corroborated by a lawsuit from a business partner who found slimy condoms all over the floor during one of his visits. After years of court battles, Wade and Theo Vaughan finally divorced and Wade won custody of their sons. Theo Vaughan protested Wade's alimony by living on the streets in her native Chicago. Love me or hate me, it's one or the other, Dwyane Wade once said. All the time. Some people hate my game, my swagger; Hate my fadeaway shot, my desire to win; Hate that I'm a veteran, hate that I won a championship. Hate it, hate it with all your heart. However, there are many people who love me deeply, but for the same reason as those who hate me.

On April 11, 2019, Wade officially announced his retirement after playing the last game of his career, ending his 16-year career.

On January 8, 2020, the Heat announced that they would retire Wade's No. 3 jersey on February 23, 2020.

On February 23, 2020, the Heat hosted the Cavaliers and held a ceremony to retire Wade's No. 3 jersey during halftime of the game.

A selection of Wade's best quotes:

1. The Law of Progressive Overload: The foundation of any fitness enhancement is to make your muscles work harder than they are used to, to make them take on ever-increasing loads. The concrete is to gradually increase the weight and density, but must have gradual progress.

2. The Rule of Multiple sets: Perform multiple sets of exercises for each movement so that each muscle group is thoroughly worked.

3. The Law of bewilderment: that is, the law of changeable movements. To avoid muscle adaptation, new stimuli are often given to the muscles.

4. The rule of isolated exercise: Focus on stimulating the muscles you want to develop, as much as possible, without the help of other parts of the body.

5. Priority training rule: For the weakest or key parts of the body to be strengthened, use the arrangement in the front of the training class, with sufficient energy and physical strength to ensure the quality of training.

6. Pyramid Rule: Do 15 reps with 60% of the maximum weight you can lift at once, then increase the weight and decrease the number of reps until you do five or six reps with 80% of the maximum weight.

7. Section rule: Divide your body into two faces, upper and lower, or three parts, and use more exercises and sets for each part on different days. To increase the overall intensity of the workout.

8. The Rule of Hyperemia: Use several different movements to stimulate the same muscle to increase blood flow and focus the stimulation.

9. The Rule of Supergroup: Practice opposing muscle groups in sequence. When you practice one muscle group, it will help the other muscle group to eliminate fatigue. This is in line with the principle of the function of the spirit.

10. Compound rule: Two exercises that work the same muscle area in succession are called compound exercises.
