Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade, making the TV talk show rounds to promote his new book, dropped a huge piece of information about his personal life Wednesday. Appearing on CBS This Morning and fielding questions from co-host Gayle King for about 5 1/2 minutes, Wade was asked by King whether a union with Union was in his future plans. “I wouldn’t be with her if I didn’t see her as a future Mrs. Wade,” Wade told King. “When the time is right,

Unbeatable? Maybe, maybe not. When Team USA is knocking down 3-point shots the way they did against Nigeria and Argentina, then yeah, they’re probably unbeatable.

Those are two of the lessons learned Saturday by Team USA in their narrow victory over Lithuania. Next up is Argentina, which is a better and more experienced team. For a take on the game from a Lithuanian-American tavern in Queens, give a read to today’s Diary of The Uncredentialed. //
For Team USA, the next three days will be more of an annoyance than anything. The games against Tunisia and Nigeria are not going to be competitive, and the challenge will be staying as sharp and fresh as possible.

He recently joined Dan Le Batard’s show “Highly Questionable” for an entertaining interview, as you will see below. The topics discussed range from his partying days in Florida, his thoughts on LeBron James’ first championship, his love for playing the villain role, what it’s like to play against idol-turned-rival Kevin
Here is some video from the French Daily L’Equipe, in French, with a money quote at the end from Florent Pietrus, the brother of NBA veteran Mickael Pietrus. I am in Paris tonight, sitting next to a bilingual American musician friend who is embedded here, who translates for us: “I think it’s going to be tough for us, but I think it’s going to be tough for them as well,” Pietrus said. The French team took the Eurostar train from Paris through the
Steve Nash’s video parodies called “Steve, Camera, Action” are well documented at this point. If you missed them in the past, check out “Dark Knight Rises” and “The Point Guard Strikes Black“. He has done a marvelous job for the most part, and could pick up some acting pointers from Jack Nicholson now that he is a full-time Laker.
