Dwyane Wade‘s new podcast is living up to the hype. The Heat legend brought one of the biggest names in the league, Heat President Pat Riley for the second episode. As expected, it delivered some of the best moments to the fans. During the conversation about Wade’s history with the team, the ‘Godfather’ mentioned how the Flash would still be fit enough to compete on the hardwood. 

“I still think you can play, you know. They should have an old man’s league,” suggested Pat Riley. In response to his suggestion, Wade quickly that his age and body would no longer allow him to play with the same energy as he used to. The 3x NBA champion responded, “I can play but my knees don’t wanna play with me.” Riley even suggested D-Wade to use some braces, but it seems that us fans aren’t likely to get that.

During the conversation, the two walked back in time to 2003 when Wade was drafted into the league. Both reminisced how the 2006 Finals MVP became a part of the Big Three with LeBron James and Chris Bosh to lead the franchise to 2 back to back victories.

How did Dwyane Wade and the big three separate?

Wade already had a ring to his name when James and Bosh joined him in South Beach. Contrary to skeptics’ expectations, the formidable Big Three lived up to the immense pressure and delivered. Despite having failed to win against the Dallas Mavericks in the 2011 NBA Finals, the Heat roared back. 

The franchise secured two consecutive championships in 2012 and 2013. That’s the ‘Big Three,‘ the Miami Heat fans worship. Afterwards, the King returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers, maintaining his dominance in the East. On the other hand, Bosh battled injuries ultimately retiring at the age of 31.

16 years of playing in the league ultimately led to mental exhaustion for Dwyane Wade and he decided to retire in 2019. “Mentally, because of the injuries, because of all of this. It beat me down. I still loved the game,” said the Flash about his retirement.
