MIAMI -

Excerpts from Dwyane Wade's book, "A Father First: How My Life Became Bigger Than Basketball," were released Tuesday.

In the book the Heat star discusses raising his two sons and his high-profile divorce.

Wade compared the pressure of being on the Heat to his personal life, "Of course, for me that pressure was nuthin' compared to what had been going on with the ordeal of the custody case."

Wade writes about how the pressure started to grind on him, "Looking back, I can't remember when various worries started to wear on me."

Wade's book will be released September 4.
