NBA Playoffs Breakdown + DWade’s Influence on Today’s Game
About this episode
Dwyane Wade discusses fatherhood, NBA playoffs, and music comparisons with guest Bob.
In this episode of The Checkin with Dwyane Wade, Dwyane and Bob bond over fatherhood, from Kaavia surprising Dwyane with real flowers to Bob catching his 13-year-old up way past bedtime, which leads into a real conversation about discipline and the slow death of the dad fear factor. Dwyane opens up about the learning curve of calling NBA playoffs for Amazon, finding his rhythm, managing his voice, and not overshadowing current players with his own stories. Basketball talk covers Edwards, Mitchell, Wembanyama, playoff injuries, and Dwyane joking the Clutch Player of the Year award came about 20 years too late. The guys also compare an Usher and Chris Brown show to a hypothetical Michael Jackson and Prince concert, talk about seeing Jay-Z at Yankee Stadium, and go deep on the lost art of burning mix CDs. New segment alert, “But Why?” Dwyane vents about a delivery driver ringing his gate at 5:50 AM and Bob goes off on drivers who honk the second a light turns green. Dwyane also shares a 12-hour commercial travel nightmare and says he wishes he had invested in a private jet way earlier. Music Credit: Khari Mateen. What We…
