Despite being in France for the Paris Games for more than a week, Dwyane Wade has spent only one night in the City of Light. The basketball Hall of Famer is calling Olympic men’s basketball for NBC, but the games have been taking place in Lille for the first week before they’ll move to Paris for the knockout stage. “Listen, I am grinding right now,” Wade told NBC News this week. “I’m in broadcaster world. I’m traveling with everyone, I’m staying with everyone.
Even though he was rivals at the time with the likes of LeBron, Chris Paul and Kobe Bryant, Wade says he was “so thankful” to play with other legends, and that goes a long way in taming the competitiveness among players who are normally standing in the way of one another . As far as the other teams that have caught his eye, Wade has been particularly impressed by Canada and France. And he makes a good point about the U.S.’s status as overwhelming favorites — it only takes one off night.
