In 2012, I started a fanpage on Instagram for Dwyane Wade. I stayed with it.
In 2019, Dwyane got me tickets to a Heat Game, and I met him.
In 2021, Dwyane reached out and wanted me to interview him for all his fans to see.
If this doesn’t say a lot about him, idk what does.
Dwyane Wade on Victor Wembanyama’s career and why he wants to be around long enough to watch the whole thing happen 😳
“I want Wemby to be so great, because he should be. I want him to win five, six, however many rings and finals MVPs and regular season MVPs. I want to live and say, ‘I saw that.’”
D.Wade on the amount of trash talk that goes on at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame 😳
“I like going back to the Hall of Fame. This were all the hoopers at. These all the coldest mofos in the game. Do you know how much sh*t talking goes on at the Hall of Fame? Do you know how much sizing up goes on at the Hall of Fame? Them old dudes be looking at you like, ‘Newbies. Y’all just got here.’”
Dwyane Wade on Stephen Curry joining Li-Ning 👀
“We got a new teammate in Li-Ning — Chef Curry…I’m really happy for Steph…someone’s who’s been there for 14 years now and has been holding it down, I’m happy. It’s like ‘you take the ball’ when I played with LeBron it was like ‘hey Bron’… this was a deserving moment for Steph to sign a record breaking deal… he deserves it, anybody hating on Stephen Curry, don’t be in my presence. I’m happy I got a new teammate and I can’t wait to see the things we do together.”
Dwyane Wade is personally inviting ‘Purple Shirt Guy’ from his legendary Game 6 performance vs the Hornets in 2016 on his podcast 😳
“Purple Shirt Guy, can we get you on the show?… Bro, you talking to me. Why you talking to me? Go talk to somebody else. I’m not the one you talk to because I can affect this game. You go talk to somebody who can’t affect this game. You don’t talk sh*t to the one that can shoot all the shots… he was over there like ‘0 for 7’ because I was over there missing shots. I can miss that many shots, I’m still shooting… you can’t get in my head.”
Back in March, Dwyane Wade called Russell Westbrook’s career one of the most underappreciated in NBA history. Today, those words hit different 👀
“In his own right, just one of the GOAT careers. Because it’s just customized and no one has one like it. No one has a career like Russell Westbrook, and no one plays the game like Russell Westbrook. He’s a one of one.”
Salute to The Brodie 🫡
Dwyane Wade on people who constantly compare his career to others 😳
“My career in this generation of conversation is one of the most talked about… I’m alive. I hear y’all. I’m here bro. I see you talking about me, so please don’t be surprised when I pop my sh*t back.”
Dwyane Wade says the 2006 championship was his favorite because of everything it took to get there at such a young age 👀🏆
“It’s a no brainer, it’s 2006. I love all my championships but that’s my favorite. Just because being a young kid at 24 years old…winning a championship in the NBA… being able to in a position where I was the leading man to accomplish that. My other championships I wasn’t the leading guy, I just had to be the supportive guy… That was the most proud I’ve ever been of myself… that will forever be my favorite championship…”
Dwyane Wade says doctors told the Heat he would only have 5 good years after getting his meniscus removed at 19 😳
“Doc said he told the Heat, ‘he will have 5 good years. Then after that the knee would become an issue. He wasn’t lying. Had about 5 good years then my knee became an issue. I had multiple knee surgeries after that. I have an incredible tolerance for pain. I played through things I know a lot of guys wouldn’t play through. I found a way to still be effective knowing I couldn’t do certain things… my first few years I didn’t know it’d be an issue because I was still really explosive. I was like ‘what meniscus?’ I felt like rookie of the year”
DWade on how to develop a killer mentality 👀
“You’re born with that. You’re born with it and then you gotta nurture it. You can’t just go find that. You can’t go buy that… it’s a fine line between having a killer mentality, and being on the other side of killer mentality.”
Dwyane Wade shares emotional message reflecting on life ❤️
“Find things in life that make you feel good and make sure you do more of those things. Do as many of those things as you can.”
Gabrielle Union-Wade & Dwyane Wade don’t like couples massages because Gab says D.Wade snores two minutes into the massage. 😂
“We are the only couple that doesn’t like couples massages, ‘cause he snores two minutes in. Like, out.”
