Tom Brady Spelled Dwyane Wade’s Name Wrong When Personalizing A Copy Of ‘The TB12 Method’

Dwyane Wade has had an incredible week. It hasn’t necessarily been a good week — he’s openly admitted that he’s still trying to figure out his role in Cleveland and went to the Cavs’ coaching staff because he felt it was best that he got moved to the bench — but it’s certainly been one that he won’t forget.

The latest strange moment in the exceedingly wacky life of Wade came on Monday afternoon, when he received an autographed copy of Tom Brady‘s book, The TB Method. It even included a nice little personal note! Isn’t that pleasant?

Let’s see if you can spot the error. Here is a picture of the autograph.

All seems pretty normal and innocent, right? An autograph from one star to another! That seems nice.

But as it turns out, Brady made a mistake that everyone has made at one time or another: He spelled Wade’s first name “Dwayne” instead of “Dwyane.”

This is the single most common spelling mistake that basketball fans make, with the main difference here being that most basketball fans aren’t spelling out Wade’s first name in an autographed copy of their book about achieving a “sustained peak performance.” By now, we all know that you should never count out Touchdown Tom on the gridiron, but as we learned here, Brady’s also capable of morphing into Typo Tom mode pretty easily.
