Over a year has passed since I spoke with Dwyane Wade about his partnership with Chinese sportswear company Li-Ning on the formation of WADE Brand.

LeBron James isn’t superhuman, he just plays like he is. The Chosen One has demolished opposing defenses on a nightly basis for over a decade. We’ve grown accustomed to it. Expect it.

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade do not hate each other. I repeat: LeBron James and Dwyane Wade do not hate each other. Phew, that was a close one. I, like you, was worried there for a minute. The source of our anxiety was ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, who penned a solid column on how the two [...]

Ummmmmmmm, ok then. Lots of things don’t make sense to me. Like how they get the little “m” on M&M’s. Or Dwyane Wade’s fashion choices. Or anything Metta World Peace has ever said.

General managers are rarely honest. Lying, deflecting and evading are (probably) in their job description. Nothing the NBA’s maneuvering minds say can be taken at face value—most of the time. On certain occasions, however, there are moments of clarity. Sometimes, they can be genuine and truthful. This is one of those times. Houston Rockets GM [...]

LeBron James wants that third straight NBA title. So does Dwyane Wade. And Chris Bosh. And the rest of the Miami Heat. But Steve Kerr doesn’t think they’re going to get it.
