Basketball Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade will once more take center stage in his latest role as a game commentator for NBC Sports during the men's basketball games played by Team USA at the Paris Olympics this summer. Wade will work with Noah Eagle, who will make his NBC Olympics debut in Paris and call the plays for the men's and women's basketball teams for Team USA. Kerith Burke and Zora Stephenson will cover the sidelines, while LaChina Robinson, who will work her third Olympic assignment for NBC Sports, will serve as the game analyst for the U.S. women's Olympic basketball team.
Expectations are always high for a son of a future hall of famer in any sport, and Zaire Wade was no exception. As the son of Miami Heat icon Dwyane Wade, he often drew comparisons to his father but as the southpaw version. At 22 years old, Wade's basketball journey hasn't been as clear-cut as his father's, instead traveling around the world waiting for an NBA team to give him a chance. Zaire Wade had all the makings of a future NBA star.
The Miami Heat fan base is already upset their team is eliminated from the playoffs. A social media account on X, formerly known as Twitter, did exactly that a few hours before Wednesday's Game 1 between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference finals. It started with a post from the account @HoopMixOnly that posed the question: Was D-Wade as good as current Anthony Edwards? While Edwards is having a strong postseason and drawing comparisons to Michael Jordan and Wade, it's still too early to start comparing careers.
