Miami Heat legend said there is a place for him on The Avengers. He described his role with clarity.
Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade was asked on social media how many points he would average on this Olympic team, at his age."36 cups of water giving out, 50 high fives, 48 towels thrown to the players and nothing but jokes," Wade said. "Because my ass can't play anymore. It's been over.36 cups of water giving out, 50 high fives, 48 towels thrown to the players and nothing but jokes because my ass can’t play anymore. It’s been over.
“This team is so deep, in six games we’re not going to get an opportunity to see how dope this team really is,” Wade says. “But I know basketball. And I know with my own eyes I have not seen a team like this. My ‘08 team was very good, but I don’t know if we was as deep as this team.” Perhaps Wade could have reminded the fan about the 2008 Olympic team he played on. He was the U.S.A.'s leading scorer in the tournament. However, Wade said individual stats do not matter.
“The ultimate goal is to be standing on that podium as a gold medal winner,” Wade says. “No one really cares that I led team in scoring. All they care about is we won the gold medal. It’s way bigger than you. You have to come in with the mindset that ‘I’m going to do whatever it takes to ultimately get us on that stage.’”
