Even Gabrielle Union Laughed At Dwyane Wade’s Failed Dunk Attempt

Father Time is undefeated. This saying gets uttered whenever an aging athlete does something that makes them look old, so as you can guess, we’re about to get a laugh at an older athlete’s expense.

Today, the older athlete is Dwyane Wade, whose Chicago Bulls kicked off their postseason with a trip to Boston on Sunday. Wade had the opportunity to throw down in the second quarter. It was a vintage Wade sequence – he timed a pass perfectly, jumped the passing lane, and got the chance to dunk in transition.

Instead, Wade got stuffed by the rim. Even worse, he got the front of the rim, which made for one embarrassing highlight … er, one embarrassing lowlight.

This happens, but this is also a play we’ve seen Wade make a million times. As it turns out, though, this may not have happened because Wade doesn’t have the ups that he used to.

No, this may have occurred because Wade made Gabrielle Union angry. After this happened, Union – who is no stranger to busting Wade’s chops because of his on-court performance – joked that this was punishment for Wade’s bathroom etiquette.

Whether it’s ripping on her husband or making fun of a reporter with a bad take, no one brings the heat on Twitter quite like Gabrielle Union.
