Dwyane Wade to attract interest from networks for broadcasting gigs
There will be a significant number of NBA broadcasting jobs open given NBC and Amazon will enter the market in 2025 as media rights-holders. Given his Hall of Fame profile and the reps he undertook in Paris, Dwyane Wade will get a serious look from networks if he’s interested. Wade said he’s worked with both a speech and vocal coach for preparation.Source: New York Times

Safe to say Noah Eagle and D-Wade locked up the new feature duo for NBA on NBC. They were outstanding all tournament. Added a lot to what is always a memorable watching experience. – 5:44 PM

What a fantastic Olympic tournament. As @DwyaneWade said on the broadcast, this is the best international basketball we’ve seen. Wemby and France 🇫🇷 were incredible today. – 5:19 PM

More on this storyline
Dwyane Wade: ‘We’ve been respecting the rest of the world since 2004, since we won the bronze medal in ’04, and every year it gets better and better. The game grows around the world. It’s exposed, anyone has an opportunity. You can’t hide anything anymore, you get to see it all. Serbia, France, Canada, Germany, they will be back in four years. There’s 68 NBA players in this field alone and will probably be more in another four years, so the world is all good at the game of basketball. It is the US game, we continue to keep dominating the game when it comes to gold medals, but it’s not going to be easy. This is not 1992, everybody needs to get that out of their minds.’ -via reddit / August 12, 2024
Kendrick Perkins recently told the story of how James Harden was influenced to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2012. During the 2012 Olympics, Harden joined Team USA where he got to play alongside his then Thunder teammate Kevin Durant and other notable names like LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. While Harden’s talents were undeniable, he acted as a role player for OKC at the time. However, that all changed after his teammates gave him some advice. Perkins revealed that James, Wade, and some of Harden’s other teammates played a role in his trade to the Houston Rockets in the 2012-13 NBA season. The former NBA veteran said that Durant told him that Harden was leaving after winning the gold in the 2012 Olympics. True enough, the thick-bearded role player went on to become a superstar and changed the landscape of the league. -via Clutch Points / August 12, 2024
ClutchPoints: “[Kevin Durant] said, ‘Man, [we’re] about to lose [Harden]’… At the Olympics [LeBron James, Dwyane Wade], all those guys were telling James, ‘Bro, [you’re] too nice to be coming off the bench… You need to have your own team.’” — Kendrick Perkins 👀 -via Twitter / August 12, 2024
