Alonzo Mourning tells Dwyane Wade he reminds him of NORMAN POWELL and Donovan Mitchell if he played today:
“You got a little bit of Norman Powell. Come on man, slasher, getting to the hole. Mid range game….I think Donovan is a spitting image of your ass, really. He really is. Athletically, y’all got the same body type.”

Dwyane Wade’s touchdown passes to LeBron James in the Big 3 era were ridiculous.
You’ll never see this type of chemistry show on a basketball court again.
KAT says Minnesota gave him 12 hours to pack up 9 years of his life before moving to New York
"I had a beautiful house that has nine years of memories and all these amazing artifacts of my career"
"you're told it's 8:59 PM, like hey man, you got 12 hours to go pack up and go to New York"
"then you have no place to live, and you're now used to being in a big house with your own life to now you're locked in a hotel room"
Charleston White goes off on Orlando Brown after he mocks him for getting assaulted with a gun at a barbershop 😳

Max Kellerman and Rich Paul both take Dwyane Wade OVER James Harden:
Max: Wade is better because if your argument is Harden is better in all these situations until it matters most and then Wade is better, those games are higher leverage. They’re worth more. If you’re better in those games, then you’re better, period. So Wade is better than Harden
Rich: Harden has the MVP. Wade has the championships. Top 75 and finals MVP. Wade is the number 3 best shooting guard of all time

Colin Cowherd - "He made ALL NBA"
Jeff Teague - "No no nooo..." 😂😂
Dwyane Wade talks about giving the Keys to LeBron James after losing the 2011 finals:
“When you play on a team that can actually win a championship, it’s a feeling that you have…. You feel when you’re apart of something special. That first year didn’t feel special. It felt like we were a bunch of guys that just got together who were talented…. After that 1st year I realized if we were going to get to where we ultimately wanted to, the guy that’s 6’9, can handle, guard anybody, that can take over games. He had to have freedom to do that. He didn’t have that the first year because it still was Wade county and was trying to get me the ball too much.”

Haywood Highsmith on ‘Playoff Jimmy’ and the 2023 finals run:
“That was a crazy experience. That was some of the greatest scoring, like obliteration I’ve seen out of somebody. Jimmy Butler on that run, he was killing. Game 4 in Miami when he had 50, that was the loudest I heard the Kaseya center.
When he hit that step back 3, I dropped to my knees. I’m like ‘yo, what am I watching? This is crazy.’ That run was special. I’m just upset we couldn’t finish it…. Game 2 when Grant got him fired up, bad move. Jimmy is cool off the court… People think we got beef, I don’t have any beef with Jimmy. He’s cool. He’s very misunderstood.”

Jason Terry says the Dallas Mavericks had ZERO answers for Dwyane Wade in the 2011 Finals👀
“D-Wade was a monster at that time in his career. There was no defensive gameplan you could do to stop him. We tried. Did not work. So we wanted to focus our energy on LeBron and kind of eliminate what Chris Bosh could do. It started with Bron though.”

Jason Terry breaks down how the Mavericks slowed down LeBron in 2011, but had ZERO answers for Dwyane Wade:
“This is at a point in LeBrons career where he didn’t have the consistent jump shot yet. We knew he wanted to get to certain spots on the floor but if we can set our zone defense where he can see a wall of 3 guys, he would be less likely to attack. — D Wade was a monster at that time in his career. There was no defensive gameplan you could do to stop him. We tried. Did not work.”

Brandon Jennings and Rashad McCants both respond to Pat Bev 👀
“If he didn’t play defense he wouldn’t been in the league that long so idk what the conversation is. If I wanted to play defense I could do what he’s doing. Your best year in the league was not better than mine. I still averaged more points than you. He tried out for Gil’s arena twice, he still didn’t make the team. Then he went and started his own team, got cut from his own team by a PG who was better than him. Now he’s mad. Hes overseas crossing his legs and trying to figure out who he’s going to throw shots at.”

Udonis Haslem on where his beef with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce started from👀
“I just come from a place where you can’t say what you wanna say to people — it comes consequences with that. They got to a point sometimes where they would say things on the court to people where I just didn’t think was okay…if you talk like that at the park — the trunk would get popped open and this sh*t getting aired out…this competition but it ain’t gotta be no ‘b*tch a** n****’…as a basketball player I’m a fan of KG and Paul but on the other sh*t I can’t go for it…saying I don’t deserve my jersey in the rafters…me and KG we straight, me and Paul — we’ll figure it out…”
