Some NBA legends retire and spend their golden years in peace. However, not Dwyane Wade. His workload has only increased since he retired in 2019. In addition to his successful podcast network, he became a minority owner of the Chicago Sky, Real Salt Lake, and Utah Jazz.Additionally, despite being a little late to the party, he has also joined other NBA pros like Stephen Curry and LeBron James in practicing his golfing skills. As per the Sports Rush, talking about his love for golf, he once said:“I tell people all the time, two of the most important things I’ve done since I’ve retired is the fact that I’m in the wine industry and the fact that I’ve picked up golf, because I’ve been in situations in both places where I’m sitting with somebody that I would never have gotten an opportunity to have this much time with.”He then explained:“When you’re sharing a bottle of wine with somebody, when you’re golfing with somebody for four to six hours, you don’t get that kind of unedited time with anyone. And sometimes you f*** around and you look next to you like, ‘I’m with Obama.’ I found myself golfing with Obama.”
