I’m not going to sit here and try and convince Dwyane Wade to not retire at the end of the season. It would be a wasted effort, for one because he’s said he’s definitely retiring and no one can tell him otherwise, and for two because there’s no way he’s reading the description for this video right now. Even if he searched “Dwyane Wade” on YouTube it wouldn’t come up (my vids only come up for scrubs, not future HOFers), and I doubt he wants to watch highlights of his own performance right now anyway.
So basically I can say whatever I want here without threat of reprisal. I’m not going to get too feisty, but I will say that he looks old as heck right now. Just his face looks so weathered, like he’s already a 5-year assistant coach for the Heat. I hear steroids lead to premature aging, just saying. Not criticizing. Everyone in the NBA does them probably. It’s just most of them don’t go for the “inject directly into jaw” route.
If anything was going to convince him to not retire, this would probably be it. 35 points is really a lot of points for a guy who thinks his time is up. Anyone who can score that many has at least one year left of reasonable production, if not more. Except for Kobe Bryant. When he scored 60, you could tell that that was it for him. That he had given it all.
Wade, come on man, I don’t even like you that much but you can def stick around for another year.
