Dwyane Wade built a legendary legacy in Miami for his long and successful career with the Heat. The all-time great won four championships in Miami, and fans affectionately refer to the area as Wade County—a nod to the county’s name, Miami-Dade. But Wade revealed he could no longer live in the state of Florida.
He shared in a recent appearance on Headliners that he and his family no longer live in Florida because of the state’s policies and outlooks on transgender people. Wade’s daughter, Zaya, is transgender.
“That’s another reason why I don’t live in that state,” Wade told Rachel Nichols when discussing state legislators. “A lot of people don’t know that.”
