The Dean (Feat. Dean Wade)

The Dean (Feat. Dean Wade)

Author: Andre Iguodala & Evan Turner April 21, 2023 Duration: 1:20:01
How do you grow up in a town with just over a thousand people, and still get your name on the map? Look no further than DEAN WADE, who joins ANDRE IGUODALA and EVAN TURNER to walk through how he rose from a small town to become Mr. Basketball in Kansas and, eventually, land on an NBA roster. But it wasn’t a straight line up. Despite earning First Team All-Big 12 honors twice, Wade went undrafted before ultimately earning a spot on the Cleveland Cavaliers. He walks the guys through his introduction to the game, his experience at K-State, his earliest moments in the league, what he learned from Kevin Love, why no one can stop Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland, and how race has played a role in his hoops journey.  Plus, before sitting down with Dean, Andre and Evan talk about the nuances of taxes for athletes, try to pick their favorite Frank Ocean song, and debate Cam Newton’s assertion that the most talented high school players shouldn’t attend powerhouse colleges.  Learn more about your ad choices.
