On Wednesday afternoon, Miami Heat icon Dwyane Wade picked up some criticism for showing support to Nick Cannon after his anti-Semitic comments.
However, the former guard rapidly issued a clarification on social media.
I want to clarify my now deleted tweet. I was not supporting or condoning what Nick Cannon specifically said, but I had expressed my support of him owning the content and brand he helped create 🙏🏾

Wade, who retired from the NBA following the conclusion of the 2018-19 season, has never been one to shy away from sharing his opinion.
In fact, Wade’s known for inciting change and bringing awareness online. The 38-year-old has been a major advocate for social justice in recent months.
Furthermore, he has been a shining light in the South Florida community as well as numerous other cities across the country. However, his quick support of Cannon appeared to anger many fans on Wednesday.
On the court, Wade will always be remembered for his amazing contributions and sacrifices. The Heat’s all-time leading scorer helped Miami capture three champions over the course of his career.
The veteran has career averages of 22.0 points, 5.4 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game.
