Show Notes
In this episode of The Check In with Dwyane Wade, Dwyane and Bob recap their 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles.
Dwyane talks about finally winning the 10th Annual All-Star Spades Tournament with Gabrielle Union after years of losses, sealing it with a risky “blind eight” bid. Bob shares stories from his daughter Bobbi’s big “Sweet 13” celebration, and Dwyane reflects on introducing his son Xavier to Barack Obama, a moment that scored him serious cool points at home.
They also discuss Chris Paul’s retirement, plus the current state of All-Star Weekend, including why the Three-Point Contest now feels bigger than the Dunk Contest.
The episode touches on Dwyane’s new Revolve partnership for Way of Wade, the Utah Jazz’s team-building approach, and the premiere of The Goat, the animated film featuring Gabrielle Union with a quick cameo from Dwyane himself.
