When Dwyane Wade retired from the NBA in 2019 following a glittering 16-season career, he had spent more than half his life playing basketball. But to hear the now 42-year-old tell it, basketball was just "a moment" that happened to last more than 20 years. "It lasted for a lot of years, but that moment has passed and I'm on to the next one," Wade tells CNBC Make It. Now the Hall of Famer, who spoke to CNBC Make It while promoting a partnership with Google Workspace, is embracing his current moment. "I have to learn how to put the work in on this side to be a great entrepreneur, a great businessman, a great community leader.

With three NBA championships and close to $200 million in career earnings to his name, Dwyane Wade knows a thing or two about being a successful professional athlete. But the 13-time All-Star says it took him years to feel like he knew what he was doing when it came to his finances. Wade, who was drafted by the Miami Heat when he was 21, says that it took him more than half a decade in the NBA "to even start to understand" how to manage his millions. "I came into the league as someone who had never really handled more than $500 at a time, and [suddenly] I'm making millions of dollars," Wade says. Knowing who to take money advice from was difficult when he himself knew "nothing at all" about the subject.

On the basketball court, Dwyane Wade is a force to be reckoned with, but being a great parent to his children is much more important to him than the titles he earned in the NBA before his retirement.

Still, he finds time to honor his commitments inside of his home despite his demanding schedule.

CNN —On the eve of his Hall of Fame induction, NBA legend Dirk Nowitzki has said that his daughter is “mostly embarrassed” about any “hoopla” surrounding her dad. Alongside the German, two-time NBA champion Pau Gasol, four-time NBA champion Tony Parker, San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, Dwyane Wade and the 1976 U.S. Olympic Women’s basketball team, among others, will be inducted. However, at a press conference on Tuesday, Nowitzki admitted that his impending inauguration has not yet fully resonated with his children. Nowitzki scored 35,223 points across 21 seasons in Dallas, playing 1,667 games for the only NBA team he ever featured for – only John Stockton played more games for one team across his career. His crowning moment arguably came in 2011 when he led the Mavs to the NBA title, the organization’s first and only championship in its history.

CNN —From statehouses to the presidential campaign trail, Republicans are escalating their political attacks on transgender people – a reflection of what they see as a cultural fight their base is eager to wage. And in recent days, those attacks have turned into new forms of mockery and political retribution, as Republicans seek to turn transgender rights into a flashpoint by seizing on social media controversies and exercising their rule-making power in statehouses where they hold large majorities. “A lot of young trans people are worried that their medication is going to get pulled,” she said of legislation targeting health insurance coverage for gender-affirming care.
