The biggest threat to the Miami Heat's Big Three isn't a new CBA that limits an individual player?s salary, a LeBron James-swap for Dwight Howard, or a Big Three from up north in New York. No, what could fry Miami's current trio is a call from Colonel Sanders. Dwyane Wade could be taking orders soon, not from Erik Spoelstra, not from Pat Riley, but from South Beach citizens craving chicken.
Dwyane Wade could be taking his talents to Kentucky, Kentucky Fried Chicken. Unlike many NBA players, D-Wade actually had to work at a real job before his professional basketball career began. His job: KFC.
According to CBS, the fast-food chain wants Wade back and they're willing to pay him more than minimum-wage. If he would agree to be an honorary drive-thru captain, KFC plans to make a 250,000 dollar donation to its own scholarship fund. KFC?s general manager was quoted describing the qualities he sees in Wade that would make him the ideal employee saying, "Teamwork and the ability to make buckets in a hurry."
Now, Wade accepting the offer wouldn?t actually hurt the Big Three, but it would help them though. All that tension between Delonte West and LeBron James: gone. There isn?t anything that excites Delonte more than a trip through the drive-thru of KFC.
And just think how much Nike could take advantage of the move. They could change Dwyane Wade?s motto from, "Fall seven times, stand up eight," to, "I'm too drunk to taste this chicken." Tell me that wouldn?t sell.
How about a new nickname? Dwyane ?Double Down? Wade is so much more original than Flash. He could make the double-pump his signature slam dunk.
Yeah, it?s official. There is no possible way Wade turns down this offer of a lifetime. Get ready for a party; soon to be breaking news on ESPN:
Random guy with mic: ?Dwyane, you came down here to make chicken, not one bucket of chicken.?
Wade: ?Not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven...?
