Dwyane Wade's Pronoun Jokes Steal the Show During Team USA's Olympic Opener

Dwyane Wade, the former NBA star, provided commentary for the U.S. men's basketball team's opening Olympic game against Serbia, where his frequent jokes about pronouns became a highlight of the broadcast. Early in the first half, Wade humorously noted LeBron James' pronouns, saying, "Y’all know his pronouns – he/him!" This light-hearted approach continued throughout the game, with Wade making similar remarks about Kevin Durant, emphasizing the use of he/him pronouns. Wade's playful commentary, however, overshadowed the actual game analysis, as he often diverted attention to personal anecdotes from his own playing career. While viewers tuned in to watch the action on the court, Wade's storytelling style and focus on his experiences provided a unique, albeit tangential, perspective on the game. Despite Wade's entertaining commentary, Team USA initially struggled against Serbia. However, the team found its rhythm, particularly after Durant's impressive performance, where he scored 21 points in the first half without missing a shot. LeBron James also contributed significantly, maintaining a perfect shooting record in the opening minutes. The U.S. ultimately secured a decisive 110-84 victory over Serbia. Looking ahead, they will face South Sudan on Wednesday, a team that previously challenged them in a close match, winning by just one point in a pre-Olympic game.
