Dwyane Wade buys ownership stake in Jazz, wants active role with team

Dwyane Wade is the latest NBA superstar to buy an ownership stake in a team. Wade purchased an ownership stake with the Utah Jazz, and wants to take a hands-on role with the franchise, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Wade, 39, told ESPN he was inspired by other NBA stars — like Grant Hill, Michael Jordan and Shaquille O'Neal — who have ownership stakes in teams. Wade — who already has a relationship with Jazz majority owner and governor Ryan Smith — added it was a dream for Wade to have ownership in a team.
