Dwyane Wade has been one of the biggest stars in the NBA realm. Having won the title 3 times, Wade was also adjudged as the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player back in 2006. Besides that, the prolific basketball star also made it to the All-NBA Team twice- in 2009 and 2010. Unfortunately, behind the shining career, the 43-year-old has been hiding a dark health secret.
In a recent update, Wade revealed that he had a cancerous tumor removed from his kidney in late 2023. Speaking on ‘The Why With Dwyane Wade,’ the NBA star stated that he decided to consult a doctor after noticing significant changes in his body. One of the biggest areas of Wade’s concern was his slow stream of urine.
“Because I did the full body scan, they were able to see my entire body, my entire insides, and they were able to see something that was on my kidney,” said Wade. He also mentioned that the doctors suggested that it was a possible cyst or tumor that needed to be operated on.
And thankfully, the operation went pretty well for the NBA star. But in the process, he had 40% of his kidneys removed. “Thank God that I did the surgery, right, because the tumor was cancerous,” Wade further chimed in.

VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”
Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
