Dwayne Wade: “When Kobe ran down the court & won his 5th championship, I was so mad I turned the tv off. I called LeBron like he’s leaving us behind.”

[get these nets]

I thought the Big 3 on the Celtics was the motivation for those Eastern Conference players to come together.

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

they still around?

In my heart

Dwade has several different versions of how the big 3 came together. The original story was that LeBron and his CAA team reached out to Dwade’s agent and initiated the idea. I seriously doubt Dwade was thinking about Bron when Kobe won his 5th chip but it makes for a good story

I BEEN TOLD nikkaS
THOSE 2 EXTRA RINGS DID
NOTHING FOR WADE AND
EVERYTHING FOR BRON.

WADE COULD HAVE BEEN ON
HIS GIANNIS/JOKIC shyt.

GET ONE RING,
CONTINUE TO RACK UP NUMBERS
AND BE VIEWED IN A MUCH BETTER LIGHT.

NOW HE JUST ANOTHER PAGE
IN LEBRONS STORY.



​

Wade after the Olympics was so cold and even before that when he was healthy. Now he’s just used to big up LeBron winning in Miami .

Damn shame we don’t have Kobe (for a myriad of reasons obviously). Would’ve been fun to see his interactions with all of the now retired peers we associate with him (even tho these dudes came like 6 years later lol). I don’t think he would’ve done his own pod but he would’ve probably been a frequent flyer on the ones that are more ball-centric vs just shooting the breeze. shyt still don’t feel real

Bron and Wade probably have massively different motivations for the set up. Bron’s is pretty obvious. Bosh probably just wanted to get the fukk outta the cold, get a ring and do his thing

fukking pussies ruined the league forever

And they still couldn't catch up to him. Kobe

Two super teams later somebody’s onion rings still don’t compare

For sure. He was hitting the podcasts in his last year or so, I'm sure he would've kept it up showing all his peers love.

Leteamhop played on 3 teams since Kobe won his last ring. I think he will try to end his career in Cleveland.

DWade knew to call the GOAT

Harden had only just finished his rookie season at that point and only averaged 9.9 points off the bench

He’d absolutely have done a season of mind the game. He was doing detail on ESPN+ which was like a precursor to it in 2018-19. Pure X’s and O’s basketball talk. I gotta watch some more of that this afternoon.
