Ever since LeBron James and Chris Bosh joined Dwyane Wade in South Beach, the Miami Heat have enjoyed making a scene before, during and after post-game interviews. While Bosh perhaps popularized the so-called “video bomb” more than any other athlete and James has continued his time-honored antics since returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers, it’s Wade who embraced the awkward spotlight on Thursday night.
Following his team’s 116-109 win over the short-handed Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, the three-time champion ended his post-game interview by staring into the camera like a man possessed. But not with the euphoria gleaned from victory. Instead, Wade was clearly overcome by some type of demon.
Here’s hoping he exorcises it by the time Miami faces the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night. Needless to say, no one ever needs to see this side of Wade again.
