    CP3’s Future, Shedeur Rising, and Miami Heat Dreams

    In this episode of The Checkin, Dwyane Wade and Bob dive into accountability, leadership, and the standards it takes to win — both in the NBA and in everyday life. Wade breaks down his frustration with the Miami Heat after a tough loss, emphasizing defensive effort, culture, and why holding teammates accountable isn’t always comfortable. That leads into a conversation about Chris Paul as a true “accountability locker room guy,” and how organizations sometimes fail legends by not handling transitions the right way.   Beyond basketball, Wade talks about launching On the Fly with Dwyane Wade: Life in Motion, sharing why owning his narrative matters and how the series shows his life behind the scenes. He opens up about fatherhood, being more present with Kaavia, and his desire to build a real community for dads. The episode also touches on relationship effort, the importance of the small things, the Chicago Bears finally building a foundation, praise for Shedeur Sanders’ leadership, and a few light moments about Wade’s dog, Trey, plus his work in art and his golf lifestyle brand, Ace.   Music Credit: Khari Mateen What We Discussed: 00:00 Introduction 01:29 Voice Training  04:09 The Dwayne Show 08:16 On The Fly: Life In Motion 12:03 A Glimpse Of Dwayne Wade 15:12 All Access Vlog Vs Life In Motion 16:47 Expressing Vulnerability After Major Surgery  20:34 Fatherhood As A Girl Dad 29:07 The Disrespectful & Loving Life Of Trey  37:11 NBA Accountability & Standards: Chris Paul 56:09 Leadership & Team Culture In The NBA 01:02:30 Business > Winning  01:10:50 Ace: Providing Opportunities In Golf 01:14:32 Chicago Bears: Coach Ben Johnson & Shedeur Sanders  01:19:20 NBA Cup, The Holidays & New Year's Eve 1:20:33 50 Gold Balloons & A Leap Of Faith See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Check In: Recreating the Bron-Wade Moment, GOAT Debate Heats Up, Steph in Way of Wade’s & CP3 Retirement

    In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane and Bob talk about the kind of check-ins men don’t always make space for — the simple “you good?” that actually means something. They get into how they’ve both learned to look out for their people in a more real way, not just through jokes or quick texts.   They touch on the basketball stuff that’s been on their minds lately — the Jordan and LeBron conversation, Steph lacing up a pair of Way of Wades, CP3 retiring, and how it feels when younger players show love to moments from their era.   Dwyane shares a bit about what life’s been like off the court: hiking with his wife even though he hates nature, filming in Rome, and trying to plan her 50th with all the emotions that come with it. He also talks about turning 44 and paying closer attention to his health.   They also go back and forth on the league right now — why the All-Star Game feels off, and why the in-season tournament actually adds something.

    Dwyane Wade Reacts to Steph Curry Leaving Under Armour, Chicago Bears Success & NBA Drama

    This episode of The Timeout is just Dwyane and Bob kicking it—talking life, energy, feeling off, feeling better, and all the random stuff that always comes up when they actually slow down long enough to talk.   They get into how their bodies have been acting lately, trying to get their energy right, comparing notes on sleep, sugar, supplements, all that grown-man maintenance nobody warned them about.    They drift into the emotional side too: what they learned late, what their kids already know, and how different it feels raising kids who actually say what’s on their minds.   Sports arguments happen the way they always do—quick, petty, funny, and somehow turning into real points about the league, teams, and the players they’ve seen up close.   And then it goes wherever it goes, holidays, wild theories, random facts, whatever pops into their heads. Just two friends talking with no rush to wrap it up.   Music Credit: Khari Mateen.
