Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat is playing out of his mind again this season on the basketball court. He’s again being discussed in the MVP talks, and has not only brought the Heat back into playoff positioning, but has brought them into discussions of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. They may not be considered title contenders this season, but with Beasley and Chalmers developing, and veterans like Jermaine O’Neal producing solid numbers, the Heat are a team that no one in the East wants to face in a 7 game series come playoff time.
There is one thing we are quite sure of when it comes to the business of the NBA, when you play like D-Wade does on the court, the endorsement deals will follow off the court. One company that affiliates themselves with the biggest and best stars of all pro-sports leagues is Gatorade. So its no surprise that they are once again featuring Wade in their newest Gatorade G2 commercials. When I recently saw the behind the scenes footage from the Wade/Gatorade commercial shoot, it made me think of one of those “spot the mistakes” pictures you used to see in kids books.
