Retiring after years of being a pro athlete, especially a Hall of Fame one, is a big change and adjustment that plenty struggle with.
Some cannot find a suitable outlet for their competitive urges, while others will take up golf, business ventures or broadcasting and seem perfectly content with the next phase
NBA great Dwyane Wade has taken on a few tasks since retiring in 2019, but he is reportedly expected to get some serious consideration for a broadcasting gig, per Legion Hoops.

Wade has already dabbled a bit in the broadcasting field, as he has spent time as an analyst on the “NBA on TNT,” and he also hosts “The Cube,” a game show that is shown on TBS.
Starting with the 2025-26 season, a new media deal will take effect for the NBA, which will involve NBC televising some games, while TNT will exit as a broadcaster.
Wade is generally considered the third-greatest shooting guard in NBA history, and during his long career, most of which was spent with the Miami Heat, he continually riddled defenses with his combination of quickness and skill.
He led the league in scoring for the 2008-09 season, and he helped lead the Heat to three world championships in 2006, 2012 and 2013 while winning the Finals MVP award in 2006 with one of the better series-long performances of all time.
Wade was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame last year, and his heroics will never be forgotten by Heat fans.
