Dwyane Wade‘s new podcast is living up to the hype. The Heat legend brought one of the biggest names in the league, Heat President Pat Riley for the second episode. As expected, it delivered some of the best moments to the fans. During the conversation about Wade’s history with the team, the ‘Godfather’ mentioned how the Flash would still be fit enough to compete on the hardwood.

“I still think you can play, you know. They should have an old man’s league,” suggested Pat Riley. In response to his suggestion, Wade quickly that his age and body would no longer allow him to play with the same energy as he used to. The 3x NBA champion responded, “I can play but my knees don’t wanna play with me.” Riley even suggested D-Wade to use some braces, but it seems that us fans aren’t likely to get that.
