Dwyane Wade Conquered the NBA. Can He Win at TV?

Dwyane Wade Conquered the NBA. Can He Win at TV?

Half a decade ago, the elite shooting guard hung up his jersey and retired from the game. Now he’s coming back—as a talking head.

GQ hung out with Father Prime as he gears up to join the broadcast team for Prime Video.

It’s a sticky early-summer morning in New York City, and deep in the maze of 30 Rockefeller Plaza I’m watching Dwyane Wade gargle a glass of water.

The Hall of Fame basketball player, 13-time All-Star, and three-time NBA champion is meticulous about his body, which in many ways is still his instrument.

From 2003 to 2019, he was Flash, an apt nickname for a man who zoomed up and down the court with a controlled recklessness that made him a top-three shooting guard in NBA history.

But today, he’s doing vocal warm-ups rather than calisthenics, considering his new gig no longer requires him to dunk someone through the floorboards.

It’s a new challenge for Dwyane Wade.

Author's summary: Dwyane Wade joins Prime Video broadcast team.
