Recently, Wade talked about his career on his channel.

He said: "I still remember that I almost became that kind of a pity player. Looking at my injury history, it really affected me to reach the heights I wanted to reach, but I still overcome many difficulties and had a good career. But when I was injured in 2007, someone actually put me on the list of possible injuries. I remember it very clearly, and they all thought I might be like that. When you reached that height at a very young age, people compared you to those legends. If you were in Injury at this time will make you frustrated and you will retreat. Many people can't stand it, such as Brandon Roy, who can't continue playing because of injury."

"I took this as an inspiration and thought, 'I will definitely not be that kind of player at the end of my career'. So until 2008, I was working hard to recover. This is why the 2008 Olympics are so important to me. It was not only the redemption team of the American men's basketball team, but also the moment to redeem Wade. I need to prove myself, because I know what everyone is saying, I don't want to be the kind of player who fell from injury."

"I had that mentality at that time, and I thought, 'Oh, do you want to slander me when I was still alive? I want to show you how great I am.' I want to let you know where I came from. I was that serious mentality at that time, not kidding at all, just wanting to dunk, wanting to dunk on everyone's heads. When the opportunity comes, I want to show you why I can become a powerful player. I'm very lucky. Not everyone has such an opportunity, and my chance comes soon, so I don’t have to wait for a long time. "

"That summer, I was selected for the Dream Eighth Team, and this team will be in the Hall of Fame this weekend. This is particularly important to me. This may be one of the most important moments in my career, even more than the 2006 championship. Because I not only want to prove myself to the world, but also to prove to myself that I am still the same person I think I am, but I have to work harder."
