In this episode of The Checkin with Dwyane Wade, Dwyane and Bob open with pure nostalgia, Bob’s old DJ name “DJ Bowlegs,” his high school dance group “Skinny Boys in the House,” and how Miami teens had to verbally pitch themselves over the phone and verify their weight at Publix before a date. Dwyane talks about his post-NBA recovery routine, steam, sauna, cold plunge, massages, and chiropractic work, visiting Zaya’s school for three days with his dad waking up to grits and bacon, and Zaya’s 19th birthday at Nobu alongside her second annual Translatable Ball. On business, he shares his pride in Steph Curry joining Li-Ning with the Wade brand and how risky that original signing felt 14 years ago. They also get into Druski hosting the BET Awards, the new Scary Movie, and Dwyane going full fan mode yelling at the TV during a Bears game before closing out the “But Why?” segment with Bob’s recycled lunch sign peeve and Dwyane going off about people touching his clothes when he’s in white.

In this Ask Me Anything, Dwyane and Bob take fan questions on career, mindset, and a few surprises. Dwyane opens up about playing without a meniscus since age 19, multiple knee surgeries, a high pain tolerance, and the intensive leg work his trainers used to keep him on the floor. On killer mentality, he says you’re born with it but it has to be nurtured, and that after retiring he had to go to therapy just to figure out where to put that energy. His favorite championship is 2006, no hesitation, leading the team at 24 and jumping on the scorer’s table to soak it all in, a moment that later inspired a dance for a movie cameo. On recognition, he says the most meaningful respect came from the fear of the guys he played against, and despite missing the 2008 MVP he’s fully at peace with his legacy. He also admits his guilty pleasure movie is Pootie Tang and that he watches Fast and Furious because he likes knowing exactly what’s going to happen. Music Credit: Khari Mateen.

Leroy is still dealing with his injury so Tobin, Jfig, and Brittney hold things down.

Ken and Lima close out the show by circling back to the LeBron question, noting that the buzz around a return feels nothing like the electric summer of 2014 and that most people seem to be resigned to him staying out West with the Lakers or Golden State. Ken makes clear he'd be genuinely troubled by a Golden State landing, arguing it would invite serious criticism from players in the GOAT debate in a way that going back to LA simply wouldn't. The core of Ken's thinking is that a return to Cleveland carries an implicit admission that this is LeBron's final season, and he's not convinced LeBron is emotionally ready to make that commitment when he still has flashes of his old brilliance. Ken wraps by marveling at the absurdity of the whole conversation, pointing out that Dwyane Wade was washed and done in Cleveland back in 2017, while LeBron is still a meaningful playoff contributor nearly a decade later.
Due to the quibbling last segment Brittney was unable to say what her “Damage is Done” was so she shares what she witnessed while watching UFC 250!

Zo shares how a serious kidney illness made him take a massive pay cut just to get back and chase a title.They talk about Pat Riley taking over and immediately bringing accountability, defining roles, and forcing the team to actually know each other’s families. And they own being the most unserious championship team ever, 41 parties on the road, three hour practices, until Shaq convinced Riley to move practice to the afternoon.UD gets his flowers from everyone in the room for how he locked down Dirk Nowitzki, and Dwyane closes it out sharing that his whole motivation was making sure Shaq, Zo, and GP got the championships their legacies deserved. @MiamiHeatMusic Credit: Khari Mateen.What We Discussed:00:00 Introduction 00:37 Player Comparisons: Who Would You Be In Today’s Game?08:41 Shaq’s Arrival And Defining Roles In Miami 11:53 Motivations: Chasing Kobe And Closing Windows 15:55 Proving The Doubters Wrong 17:10 Role Players Stepping Up20:27: The Turning Point: When They Knew They Could Win It All24:49 Pay Riley Takes Over: Accountability And New Rotations 27:53 Changing The Culture: Forced Bonding And Pushing Back Practice 30:17 Work Hard, Play Hard: The “Unserious” Partying Team31:07 Hometown Hero34:32 A Tight-Knit Brotherhood: 100 Fights But No Grudges36:22 The Young Guy’s Perspective: Dorell Wright 38:15 Throwbacks: Draft Rivalries And The “Malik Allen Game”40:57 The Aftermath: How Winning The Championship Actually Felt 44:39 Gary Payton’s Decision To Come Back46:13 Doing It Their Way And The Bond They Share 48:32 D-Wade’s Motivation49:45 Collecting Debts: Shaq’s Unfulfilled Bentley Promise #MiamiHeat #Checkin #DwyaneWade #2006Champions #HeatNationSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They break down how Dirk changed the league, why the “soft” label followed him for years, how the We Believe Warriors loss stuck to him, and why that 2011 championship run completely changed the way we talk about his legacy. If you remember Dwyane Wade living at the line, the fake cough, the Heatles pressure cooker, and Dallas finally getting its revenge, this is the full Dirk story. Learn more about your ad choices.

Eres bueno en lo tuyo. Tienes conocimiento y experiencia. Y aun así, hay días en que sientes que te falta una marcha. La mayoría cree que eso es talento. Tim Grover te demuestra que no. Grover se pasó más de veinte años entrenando a los mejores deportistas del mundo: a Michael Jordan durante quince años, a Kobe Bryant, a Dwyane Wade. En Implacable (Relentless, 2013) destila lo que vio en la cabeza de la gente más excepcional del planeta. Y su tesis es tan simple como incómoda: todo lo que necesitas para ser excepcional ya lo tienes dentro.

Un episodio sobre mentalidad para emprendedores que ya son buenos y quieren dejar de conformarse. Sin postureo y sin machaque: con la cabeza fría.
In this Timeout, Dwyane and Bob take fan questions on mental preparation, career what-ifs, and life on and off the court. Dwyane says the real separator between good and great was never physical, it was mental. He was always scouting defensive tendencies and anticipating plays before they happened. On thriving in today’s NBA, he calls it copy and paste, same career, maybe a few more threes. He opens up about using the 2008 season as a sanctuary during a painful public custody battle, channeling everything he couldn’t control off the court directly into his game. Also shares that he got a massage before every single game, not just for the body but to manage his anxiety and get his mind right. Closes with a golf analogy about how people obsess over fixing their swing while ignoring ball placement, his way of saying get the foundation right and everything else follows.

Ken and Lima run through Lima Likes with Evan Mobley's Game 7 stat line of 20 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks putting him in company with LeBron, Larry Bird and Hakeem Olajuwon, which Ken and Lima cannot stop repeating to the point of absurdity.

Wayne Simien is an NBA champion for the Miami Heat and two-time All-American and Big 12 Player of the Year for the Kansas Jayhawks. He currently serves as Associate Athletics Director of Strategic Engagement for KU. Wayne also works as a broadcaster for KU Men's and Women's basketball on ESPN+. Before joining Kansas athletics, Wayne spent 12 years in campus ministry. He and his wife Katie are the parents of five children. In this episode we discuss the following: Good things don't happen by accident. Whether good health, meaningful relationships, or a flourishing career, all of them require work. And often a coach who is guiding us and pushing us and a team that holds us accountable. Competitiveness is more about having the drive to prepare than having the desire to win. From Bill Self Wayne learned the importance of toughness as a leadership trait. By making practice harder than the games, players develop resiliency and grit on a day-to-day basis. From Roy Williams Wayne learned that long term success comes from commitment to a system. Ten years after leaving KU, Roy was winning national championships at North Carolina built around his same system. And what an amazing lesson Wayne learned from Pat Riley. After winning the NBA championship with Hall of Famers, Shaq, Gary Payton, Alonzo Mourning, and Dwyane Wade, the first drill they did the next year was the basic three man weave.
