LeBron James Has A New Handshake With White Guy Teammate Dean Wade That Looks Straight Outta A 'Key & Peele' Sketch
Shout out to token stretch big Dean Wade for having a firm grip on new his role with the 76ers. He knows he's only there for benchmob vibes and the occasional 4th quarter blowout bucket that wins everyone in the crowd a free chicken sandwich. But he's also making sure LeBron doesn't lose too much dexterity in his fingertips pregame as well. Far too dangerous having LBJ do a super cool handshake with everyone on the team.
Sometimes a good ol' fashioned handshake works just as well. Take notes Kevin Love, that is how you fit-IN, not fit-OUT! Even if it does look straight outta that 'Key & Peele' skit. Miss those guys.
But upon further research, this actually isn't something DWade did just for LeBron. Apparently this is simply how he conducts his business on the basketball court. Makes sense why he's the ONLY player I've ever browsed on Basketball-Reference.com who doesn't have a single nickname. No nonsense kind of guy. Real gym rat. High IQ dude.
(Meanwhile LeBron has King James, LBJ, Chosen One, Bron-Bron, The Little Emperor, The Akron Hammer, L-Train, Benjamin Buckets, Captain LeMerica, LeGOAT)
Gotta love "The Dean". Way to represent for all the other token stretch bigs out there buddy. Keep fighting the good fight! Now feel free to enjoy a few of K&P's other all-time skits before you go. Even after all these years away, they still go down silky smooth. Biiiiiiiiiiiiiitch!
