Jaren Jackson Jr: What can you tell me about the finals in 2011? Dwyane Wade: We got whooped on pretty good. We got whooped on. We were cocky now. We were like ‘Yeah, we’re a little cocky, we're a little cocky. Nobody can mess with us.' Like we were at that point. You know how you get sometimes, you get a little bit too much up here. I think Dallas, they saw that. They felt that and they punched us in the mouth. And when they punched us in the mouth, we couldn't get back up. And even though we went in and won game after we lost game two being up like 17 at home, we went in one game three. We still in the driver seat. We was wobbly though. You know what I mean? I just learned that you just got to stay here, bro. You got to stay even kill. You can't go with the roller coaster. You can't ebb and flow. You got to stay even kill through it all. And so didn't want to do it, but we needed that loss.
Jaren Jackson Jr.: After that 2010 free agency kind of changed the universe as we know it. Do you think that '09 season was the season that made LeBron James and Chris Bosh go, ‘I want to play with this guy?’ Dwyane Wade: I never thought about that. Like I don't know if it's that one season. We play together like you know All-Star games and Olympics and you get to see guys and see guys personalities and you see what works with yours and what doesn't. Not saying you out there recruiting but you just looking. I think from a LeBron standpoint he knew him and I can vibe out, because I can be an alpha but also don't need to be the alpha to still be me. And so I think he understood that, he's an alpha dog. And so you it's hard when you go you go team up with a lot of alphas in the sense of like they can't be nothing but alphas. And LeBron can't be nothing but an alpha. I'm different. It wasn't about a ‘me’ thing. It was just about a ‘us’ thing. No matter what we were doing. Like I'm at an All-Star game, I'm going to give it up so you can go dunk. Like I'm not like most guys going to get that bucket. I just it doesn't matter to me. like walking away from the game is not about how many buckets I got. It's about how much winning you can do, how much impact you can have on winning. That's what I was told. That's what greatness look like. When it came down to play with Brian and came out that time, I think them guys knew I was a winner and I would do anything to win. And I think that that settles everything.

Jaren Jackson: You mentioned pain and all the lessons you've learned from success and some failures. What is your biggest or one of them a financial regret? Dwyane Wade: Getting married with no prenup. Yeah, that hit me. Hit me. Yeah. I'm just going to be honest with you. I went through some stuff, dog. I went through some public stuff, you know, and that was a financial hit for me that I wasn't expecting. And you don't expect to go through nothing like that. You don't, you know. But I did. Jackson Jr.: Other than that, what's a what's a what's a business mistake you think? Wade: No mistakes in business. No mistakes. No mistakes, man. It’s just a journey. If you hold on to every investment as in you need to win it, you going to be it's like golf. You're going to be hurting out there if you think every shot going to go well. You got to understand that, okay, we lost I lost in that investment, but what did I gain? Take your gains. It's always something to learn.
