Bond between Wade, Crean remains strong

This might be the age of instant information, but Tom Crean found a way to turn back the clock.
On May 17, 2012, Dwyane Wade had one of the worst nights of his NBA career. The Miami guard shot just 2 of 13 for five points in a playoff loss at Indiana. He got into a heated argument on the bench with Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. And, most damaging, Miami was walloped 94-75 to fall behind 2-1 in an Eastern Conference semifinal.
An hour south of Indianapolis in Bloomington, Ind., Crean, the head coach at Indiana, who had been Wade’s coach at Marquette, watched it all unfold. So Crean sprung into action.
He touched base with Wade and then with Spoelstra to make sure he wasn’t stepping on any toes. He invited Wade down to the Indiana campus the next day to get away from it all. And Crean was serious about that.
“The biggest thing he needed was to take a deep breath, and that meant the whole day,’’ Crean said. “So I told my players we didn’t want any Internet in there. I didn’t want ESPN or any sports television in there. We turned off the TVs in the building. (What Wade had gone through in Game 3) was a pretty hot-button topic.’’

This is why I love this guy. Mentally tough person on and off the court. Wade wants rings and will accept any role to get them.
At people thinking he is going to go to very soon. He will be a damn good sidekick for several more seasons.
Wade is less than 3 years away from being useless on the court
HGH will extend his career, tbh
It already has tbh. Not sure how much longer it'll last, but his body and skills are already declining.
