It is safe to say that broadcasting isn’t former Miami Heat superstar shooting guard Dwyane Wade’s domain. Nevertheless, he is having fun covering Team USA in the 2024 Paris Olympics with Noah Eagle for NBC.
Wade appeared to admit that calling games from the broadcast booth isn’t his forte when he agreed to a post on X (formerly Twitter) that compared Wade to the legendary Cheryl Miller in hilarious fashion.
“I’m having fun. Don’t know what I’m doing, but I’m having fun,” said Miller in the video while she was coaching the WNBA All-Stars in the recent game versus the United States women’s Olympics squad.
“Yooo 🤣 The accuracy 🤣,” said Wade in a post.

Fans praise Dwyane Wade for job calling Team USA vs. Serbia
Perhaps Wade was simply being humble, as many fans thought he did a great job during the Team USA-Serbia game.

One thing that’s sure about Wade is that he knows what it’s like playing — and winning — in the Olympics.
He got his first taste of action in the Olympics in 2004 when Team USA won just a bronze medal. Wade, however, won gold in 2008 in Beijing as part of the Redeem Team.
As for the game he and Eagle covered, Team USA took down Serbia, 110-84, with LeBron James and Kevin Durant leading the attack. James had 21 points while Durant provided 23 points off the bench.
