NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Who do get to backup LeBron James? How about Dwyane Wade? Oh, yeah!
Coach Krzyzewski was looking for backups.
Hmm, what if Kobe got hurt or LeBron? Who would back them up?
Hey, how about Dwyane Wade, yeah, he is pretty good. Hasn’t he been hurt though?
Wade stepped into the starting lineup and scored 20 points in his first action in more than four months, and the United States beat Canada 120-65 in the opener of its exhibition schedule.
“D-Wade is a warrior to anybody who knows him. He’s been rehabbing and he’s been working out probably more than anybody, just trying to get back in shape,” point guard Chris Paul said. “That’s D-Wade. We see it every day in practice and you saw it tonight, that he’s back. When he’s aggressive like that, we’re a dangerous team.”
LeBron James had a sore ankle and after all, it was only the Canadians.
Michael Redd and Carmelo Anthony also donated 20 points a piece.
The Canadian team was definitely impressed.
Canadian coach Leo Rautins called the Americans “obviously the most talented team, without a question, in the world.”
