Dwyane Wade Checks In On His NBA Legacy Comparisons, Oscars After Parties & Airlines Ambitions
About this episode
Dwyane Wade discusses his NBA legacy, recent Oscar events, and shares personal experiences related to kidney cancer awareness.
In this episode of The Checkin with Dwyane Wade, Dwyane and Bob catch up on a packed few weeks, from the SXSW premiere of “The Dads,” a documentary supporting fathers of non-binary and transgender children, to Oscar weekend where Dwyane skipped the hotel chaos for a quiet Airbnb with his wife, attended Michael B. Jordan’s private celebration, and had a full crowd point at him during a Jay-Z Gold Party song lyric that referenced him directly. Basketball talk covers Victor Wembanyama’s old-school mentality, Kevin Durant passing Michael Jordan on the scoring list, Russell Westbrook passing Steve Nash in assists, and Dwyane pushing back on Patrick Beverley’s claim that James Harden is better than him. With March being Kidney Cancer Awareness Month, Dwyane shares a touching moment from Japan where a stranger thanked him for going public with his diagnosis. The episode wraps with a rant about commercial flying and a joking pitch for “Middle Ground Airlines.” Music Credit: Khari Mateen.
