As we are in the midst of another NCAA Basketball Tournament, I figured it is only appropriate that I give a brief look at the evolution of Dwayne Wade, Just so you can fully understand the importance of a TRY-OUT (an opportunity), especially as it pertains to players who have developed over TIME, and could have VERY easily not been discovered.  Watching the video, you clearly SEE and HEAR a strong level of dissatisfaction, in regards to the current system that is used to find players.  The agitation in Coach Creans voice sounds like someone who is in need of a direct line of communication to that group of players, that haven't yet been discovered by the MEDIA...........gym44

 .....Converse is Not a popular sneaker (brand) in the basketball world......

......However, Dwyane Wade managed to Win an NBA Championship, and be awarded the Finals MVP........ all of that Wearing Converse.....

....HELLO!!....At this point D.Wade was becoming VERY hard to ignore.... His career was taking off.....and the opportunity to be a part of the JORDAN Brand is something that any young basketball player from Chicago would not pass up......

........Adversity......Adversity.....Adversity...... "Defines a man's character"....Lets SEE how he bounced back

 

.....The truth is, BASKETBALL, SPORTS, ATHLETES......Are nothing without TEAMMATES.....SNEAKERS, and other endorsements, only come after a group of highly talented players come TOGETHER.....and DECIDE to TAKE what they want......gym44

.....back to his old ways....an Unknown brand to the basketball world.....Li Ning......(ADVERTISEMENT)

.....Like every great SPORTS career.....the question will always be......WHO'S NEXT??

......WILL ONLY FIND OUT BY SPONSORING A TRY-OUT

.....NOTICE THE CREATIVE PROCESS THAT GOES ON WHEN DESIGNING A SHOE..... IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT THERE IS MORE TO HIM THEN BASKETBALL.....BUT, IT WAS BASKETBALL THAT PROVIDED THE PLATFORM...... AND IT ALWAYS WILL.....
