MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Dwyane Wade grew up in Chicago idolizing Michael Jordan.
While Wade may not have achieved the amazing heights that Jordan did, the Robbins, Illinois native is a lock to join his idol in the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame.
Remarkably, Wade’s journey from chilly Chicago to sunny South Florida is just as amazing as his NBA career.
It all started in a house on the south side of Chicago, off of 59th and Prairie.
That’s where from a young age Wade was battling more than just the snowy weather of the windy city.
