Dwyane Wade Checks In On His NBA Legacy Comparisons, Oscars After Parties & Airlines Ambitions

In this episode of The Checkin with Dwyane Wade, Dwyane and Bob catch up on a packed few weeks, from the SXSW premiere of “The Dads,” a documentary supporting fathers of non-binary and transgender children, to Oscar weekend where Dwyane skipped the hotel chaos for a quiet Airbnb with his wife, attended Michael B. Jordan’s private celebration, and had a full crowd point at him during a Jay-Z Gold Party song lyric that referenced him directly.   Basketball talk covers Victor Wembanyama’s old-school mentality, Kevin Durant passing Michael Jordan on the scoring list, Russell Westbrook passing Steve Nash in assists, and Dwyane pushing back on Patrick Beverley’s claim that James Harden is better than him.   With March being Kidney Cancer Awareness Month, Dwyane shares a touching moment from Japan where a stranger thanked him for going public with his diagnosis. The episode wraps with a rant about commercial flying and a joking pitch for “Middle Ground Airlines.” Music Credit: Khari Mateen.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ What We Discussed: 0:00 Introduction 0:47 Morning Schedules And Busy Lives 2:55 SXSW & The Dad's Premiere 05:29 Celebrating Michael B Jordan 06:29 Relaxing For The Oscar Weekend  08:11 Dwyane's New Tattoos  09:31 The Gold Party And Chris Paul 12:58 Special Moments With Jay Z 16:44 Bob's Weekend And Starbucks "Boycott" 20:00 Aging And Modifying Workouts 22:00 Victor Wembanyama And The Spurs  28:00 NBA Scoring Records 30:00 Russell Westbrook's Assists Milestone 32:00 The "GOAT" Mentality And Player Comparisons 35:00 Pat Bev's Comments On James Harden 41:00 LeBron James Breaking The Games Played Record 42:00 The NBA's 65-Game Rule 45:00 Mercy Rules And The NCAA Tournament  47:00 Home Court Advantage In The NBA 51:00 Tiger Woods And Watching The Masters See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
