Dwyane Wade: UGA basketball coach Tom Crean 'changed my life'

NBA legend Dwyane Wade played sixteen seasons in the NBA. He primarily played for the Miami Heat, who retired his famous number three jersey last night. Wade helped the Heat win three NBA Championships during his storied career.

Before Dwyane Wade began his legendary career, he had humble beginnings in college. Wade wasn’t academically eligible during his first season at Marquette University under current Georgia Bulldogs basketball coach Tom Crean. Wade built a tight relationship with Tom Crean that went beyond basketball. In fact, Wade claims Crean ‘changed my life’ for the better.

The rest is history.
