Why Dwayne Wade Wants Men to Be More 'Selfish'

Dwyane Wade, the three-time NBA champion, Hall of Famer, and cultural icon, is flipping the script on what it means to be selfish. In a candid conversation with journalist Marc Lacey at The New York Times Well Festival, Wade opened up about masculinity, mental health, and the daily rituals he relies on to stay grounded in life after the NBA.

“Men keep a lot in, and it’s going to come out in ways you don’t want it to,” Wade said, pointing to the emotional pressure so many men carry in silence.
