Heat Central: Lonzo Ball believes Prime Dwyane Wade is about EVEN with prime Kobe Bryant:<\/a> \u201cI got D Wade at 3. Right behind Kobe. And it ain\u2019t far. I\u2019ll die on that hill. D Wade is giving Kobe some fits. And MJ. They\u2019re better, but it ain\u2019t no walk in the park. Not a prime D Wade, no. It\u2019s even to me. Kobe\u2019s better but it ain\u2019t clear. Out of 10 days, he\u2019s not getting the better of him all 10 days. I got 6-4\u2026 He has one of the best rings ever. Year 3, to take a team and be the man and get that sh*t done? I commend that.\u201d \u2014 6\/9\/2026 x.com<\/a><\/p>\n

When the NBA released its full All-NBA ballots after the 2018-19 season, one of them got the attention of Dwyane Wade himself. Kennegh Lau of China’s BesTV had Wade, who had been on his farewell tour averaging 15 points in 26 minutes a night, on his All-NBA 2nd Team.<\/a> Wade quickly reacted to the selection on Twitter. That is the most extreme outlier full ballot in our Media Vote Tracker, the tool we launched last week that lets you look up how every media voter has filled out NBA award ballots over the years. \u2014 6\/5\/2026 HoopsHype<\/a><\/p>\n

Draymond Green: “Li-Ning also plans to build Curry brand stores in the United States and in China. One factor that was key in his decision to go with Li-Ning, they said was the comfort while he was testing the shoes of two of their signature athletes, Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade. And I know that to be factual because one and how they treat those guys, because one big thing when Steph signed with Under Armour way back in the day was actually how they treated Kent Bazemore and the sneakers that Kent Bazemore was wearing as Steph tried the sneakers and he saw how they was treating Bazemore.<\/a> That was one key thing that he saw when he was signing with Under Armour. So I know that this was key in him signing with Li-Ning.” \u2014 6\/3\/2026 YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

Nick DePaula: \u201cThroughout my sneaker free agency, I was impressed by the quality, comfort & performance of Li-Ning\u2019s shoes. It was during that time playing in @DwyaneWade and @JimmyButler\u2019s sneakers, that I knew Li-Ning could be the right partner to deliver on the innovation & design that I want Curry Brand to stand for.\u201d<\/a> \u2014 6\/1\/2026 x.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Jorge Sierra: If you combine the playoff scoring of Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh, you fall only 1.2K points short of LeBron James’ overall postseason scoring<\/a>. #NBABarRaces \u2014 5\/22\/2026 Bluesky<\/a><\/p>\n

Dwyane Wade: “Draymond Green walked up on me before and had a conversation. He didn’t like what I said in the Olympics about something. It was about Rudy Gobert. It was about Rudy Gobert and I know we had to have that conversation and I had to express with him like, hold on, I got a job. I got a role. I’m on the government side of the Utah Jazz. I want Rudy Gobert to do. Yes, I want the US to win. But also I want to see Rudy Gobert had success.<\/a> And we said there had that combo and I appreciated that because he came up to me about, hey, I didn’t like how you said this and I was like, respect now, let’s talk about it. So as long as it go that way and we could talk about how you received it.” \u2014 5\/20\/2026 YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

As in waiting for Pat Riley and the front office to strike, Wade is more than familiar, including the first makeover with initial championship partner Shaquille O\u2019Neal and then LeBron James and Chris Bosh being added in 2010 after two nondescript seasons, similar to the Heat\u2019s past two. \u201cI\u2019ve been a player on a roster that was impatient, ready to go \u2014 because I know that my basketball life only has so much in it,\u201d Wade said of his Heat tenure. \u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018Yo, let\u2019s strike, let\u2019s strike,\u2019 and they was like, eh, \u2018No, let\u2019s wait.\u2019<\/a> \u2014 5\/20\/2026 South Florida Sun-Sentinel<\/a><\/p>\n

Having been on the inside, Wade said there has been an appreciation of the Heat being proactive and not reactive. \u201cI think people take things I say, and I respect how they take things I say, because I mean all the things I say,\u201d he said. \u201cBut also, too, just because you say one thing don\u2019t mean it\u2019s not another thing. Just because I said there\u2019s no buzz in the city, that comment that went viral, doesn\u2019t mean that the Heat is going to go out and just make buzz in the city. \u201cJust because I want them to compete for championships don\u2019t mean that they\u2019re going to be impatient and not strike the way that they strike. So two things could be right at the same time. So my comments about the Heat was, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019m like you.\u2019 The fan in me and the love of the Miami Heat that we all have, we want to see them in the Eastern Conference finals and competing for championships. But also, too, I know the organization. I\u2019ve been there.\u201d<\/a> \u2014 5\/20\/2026 South Florida Sun-Sentinel<\/a><\/p>\n

Heat Central: Tim Hardaway Is taking prime Dwyane Wade over Prime LeBron James ? \u201cLeBron has longevity. I\u2019m taking Prime Flash over Prime LeBron\u2026<\/a> I know basketball.

Who is the most memorable\/ favorite interview you had with? Jeff Zillgitt: I’ve always enjoyed my interactions with Dwyane Wade. He has a great ability to provide a thoughtful\/insightful answer. I wrote a story on Kyle Korver one year and he was just fantastic describing the checklist he goes through to make sure he’s shooting the way he wants to shoot.<\/a> Just so detailed. I really appreciate the players who willing to open about their lives and what they do on the court. A recent story I wrote about Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser of the Pistons falls into that category. Jenkins was just a delight to speak with. Same goes with a recent story on Nickeil Alexander-Walker story. He was so thoughtful with his answers and took his time. — Jeff Zillgitt \u2014 5\/16\/2026 reddit<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Heat Central: Lonzo Ball believes Prime Dwyane Wade is about EVEN with prime Kobe Bryant: \u201cI got D…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":265574,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[679,9,11,10,56,90111,11360,11361,4503,1935,946,40009,1334,34618,950,4500,690,4499,1328,949,682],"class_list":["post-265573","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-accessfree","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-ny","tag-sourcehoops-hype","tag-sstssportsnba","tag-sstsnnba","tag-tagbasketball","tag-tagcelebrities-entertainment-news","tag-tagcontains-commerce-or-affiliate-content","tag-taglebron-james","tag-taglocal-affiliate-arts-entertainment","tag-tagmiami-heat","tag-tagnational-sports","tag-tagnba","tag-tagnew-york","tag-tagnew-york-knicks","tag-tagoverall-positive","tag-tagsports-news","tag-typestory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=265573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265573\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/265574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=265573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=265573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
