(Photo taken after the 2013 championship, and one of the few I have that isn’t blurry.) This was supposed to be anticlimactic. Dwyane Wade, however, isn’t capable of creating boredom. So in his last game, in front of his Banana Boat mates and mostly Miami Heat fans in Brooklyn, and playing 36 minutes the […]
As we write this, Dwyane Wade has played 17 minutes and scored nine points in the first half in Brooklyn — which is more than we expected. But after a nearly-perfect last night at AmericanAirlines Arena, the most interesting stuff today has been on social media, as luminaries have sent Wade off into retirement. Here […]
Now that the emotion has subsided and the tears have all mostly dried up, can we maybe take a second to give that Budweiser ad the side-eye it so rightfully deserved? You’ve seen the video by now. Dwyane Wade swapping “jerseys” with people whose lives he’s touched. Victims of gun violence. Poverty. Addiction. It’s powerful. […]
This has been a nutty night in the NBA, and it’s not just that Dwyane Wade nearly suffered his first significant injury of his age-37 season when he stood on a table, or that Udonis Haslem was draining jumpers again. Dwyane Wade with 30, Dirk Nowitzki with 30, Jamal Crawford with 50, Magic quit on […]
The day started with a simple question. What has Dwyane Wade meant to you? Starting this early…. This is the thread where you can answer this question: "What has @DwyaneWade meant to me?" What follows here is mine….. — Ethan — THREE Reasons Sports Network (@5ReasonsSports) April 9, 2019 Here were some of the best […]
The Scavenger’s Miami Heat success story all-but-officially ended with five minutes left in Sunday’s fourth quarter in Toronto, checking out for Dwyane Wade with the score tied at 93 and exactly five minutes left in the fourth quarter. It was reasonable that Rodney McGruder wouldn’t play beyond that; after all, while it’s entirely unclear which […]
Quite a bloody Sunday it’s been. First the Miami Heat blew another second half lead, faltering down the stretch, botching a last-possession with a chance to win (thanks in part to the officials) and then petering out in overtime to lose to Toronto. Now, with the season just about over, someone who actually played 23 […]
Is this news? We’re not sure if this is news. The Florida Panthers just finished another disappointing season, one that began with some of us — um, me — thinking they were the best-positioned of all the pro teams in our sadsack sports town to make a real run. They had young stars, a veteran […]
Paul Pierce and the rest of the late 2000s, early 2010s Boston Celtics have always had an inflated sense of self. They won one championship together, but you’d think it was 12. They felt they owned Ray Allen, like, literally. They believed they were in LeBron James’ head, right until he dropped 45 on them […]
It is the season for nostalgia when it comes to Dwyane Wade. We’ve done our share on the Five Reasons flagship podcast, Miami Heat Beat has done plenty of its own on podcasts and videos (check THIS out), and naturally the Heat have hyped plenty about #OneLastDance. We have felt that the national media have […]
