TimeOut PT. 2: Men's Wellness with Dr. Joel and the Path to Better Health

In this episode of The Checkin with Dwyane Wade, Dwyane and Bob celebrate Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo's historic 83-point game against the Washington Wizards.

 

Dwyane reflects on Bam's journey from a raw 19-year-old to a primary offensive engine, drawing a personal connection to Bam's upbringing on 76 Church Lane and what this record-breaking night means for his family's legacy. The hosts break down the physical feat behind the performance: 63 field goal attempts, 32 free throws, and relentless two-way dominance despite constant double- and triple-teams — before pushing back on critics who took issue with the free throw volume and the game's chaotic final minutes.

 

They also address the media controversy surrounding Dwyane's "buzz in the city" comments, where he clarifies his critique is rooted in holding the Heat to the championship standard set during the Shaq, Big Three, and Jimmy Butler eras. The episode closes with Dwyane sending a message of brotherly love to Bam, making clear his high expectations come from wanting nothing less than a championship.
