In this episode of The Check In, Dwyane Wade and Bob bounce between nostalgia, parenting chaos, and life after basketball. Wade reflects on the Heat’s 2006 championship run ahead of its 20-year anniversary, remembering the comeback from 0–2, Pat Riley’s culture, and what it meant to learn how to win at the highest level.

 

Off the court, Wade talks about being in full-time dad “Uber mode,” balancing travel with family, and the funny frustration of raising competitive kids. He shares how golf, photography, and even a quick movie cameo have filled his post-retirement life, plus a powerful reflection on a recent trip to Africa that reconnected him to his roots.

 

The episode also mixes in NBA trade talk, Hall of Fame debates, and a hilarious dive into famous Mandela Effect misquotes, a classic blend of hoops, humor, and real life.
