NBA great Dwyane Wade spoke with the Tribune about joining the Chicago Sky's ownership group: 'We're on the cusp. But there's a lot more that we have to do.'

“It means a lot,” he said. “It means a lot for me to see Nadia Rawlinson in her seat as co-owner. It means a lot that I can come in and support a Black woman that is doing this.

As he gets acclimated with the Sky and the WNBA, Wade said he has had conversations not only with Rawlinson and other team owners, but also with WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert and players association executive director Terri Jackson about how they can partner to grow the game. “To get this league where we need to, each side needs to listen and then try to educate so we can all help each other and understand how to get to the common goal.”

“For those three months, you want to be in Chicago, and we want our women to feel like they play in Chicago,” he said. “So how does that look? And what does that entail from us to do?”
