SUNRISE, Fla.—Retired NBA star Dwyane Wade was a surprise guest speaker on June 2 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School’s graduation ceremony, leading cheers and recalling how nervous he was to meet students following the on-campus shootings last year that claimed 17 lives.

Wade called himself “part of this MSD family” and told graduates that it was understandable if they feel unsure about their futures—because in some ways, after 16 years in the NBA, he also is unsure exactly what his future entails.
