About this episode

Dwyane Wade addresses fan questions about his career, playoff experiences, and the evolution of basketball.

  In this Q&A edition of The Checkin with Dwyane Wade, Dwyane answers fan questions on playoffs, his career, and the evolution of the game.   He talks about keeping his routine the same in the playoffs but sharpening every detail, staying even-keeled through the emotional swings, and how winning a championship is about blending youth and veteran knowledge without taking a single moment for granted.   On the three-point conversation, Dwyane shuts it down fast. His job was to attack downhill and create for teammates, same reason Jordan never chased threes. He breaks down how today’s game is faster with more versatile bigs, but says the last five minutes of a close game still looks exactly the same as it always did. Wraps up loving the parity in today’s league, anybody can beat anybody right now. Music Credit: Khari Mateen.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
