Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony were all smiles while reminiscing their old tales on the 7PM in Brooklyn Podcast. Notably, Wade opened up on a hilarious story where he ignored Anthony during a shootaround, which left Anthony completely puzzled. It’s important to note that Wade and Anthony share a strong bond on and off the court.
Wade claimed on the show that he completely ignored Anthony and his Nuggets teammates as they were causing havoc on the other side of the court during a shoot-around. Dwyane Wade also claimed that the reason he ignored Anthony was due to the “Heat Culture” and also because their head coach, Pat Riley was getting angry towards Anthony’s antiques.
When i walked in (in the locker room) Melo was in there with others…they in there with their durags on, chains, it looked like they went from Prive Opium right to shootaround..I’m like what’s going on in here so I don’t give him no eye contact cause Riles p*ssed!
On the 7PM in Brooklyn Podcast, Dwayne Wade said
On the contrary, Wade and the Heat went on to achieve great success in the NBA during the 2010s. However, Anthony wasn’t any less as he too made himself a great name in the decorated league over his playing career. Both stars now seem to be enjoying their individual lives after successful careers in the NBA.
Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo opens up on “Heat Culture”
The Miami Heat have been one of the most disciplined teams in the NBA over the years despite their poor form in the NBA recently. However, this discipline and mental toughness were instilled in this side by their veteran head coach, Pat Riley and it was later labeled as the “Heat Culture.” Notably, current Heat star Bam Adebayo opened up on the Heat Culture via the Players Tribune.
Bam Adebayo We got a standard, and we ain’t with none of that bulls***. You played in three games, you gonna condition, and you’re gonna get in shape. You’re gonna do what you need to do, like, we’re not with no complaining, it’s frowned upon in the culture.
Bam Adebayo told the Players Tribune
On the contrary, the Miami Heat had a stellar 2023 NBA Finals season despite not boasting many top players on their side apart from Adebayo and Jimmy Butler. Despite this, they defeated the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the ECF Finals in 2023, showcasing the definition of the “Heat Culture” as they were 8th seeded in that 2022-23 NBA season.
