Dwyane Wade has Team USA’s back
Dwyane WadeOn their way to Beijing for the Summer Games, the U.S. ballplayers were given custom-embroidered “4 Survival To Go” preparedness kits by teammate Dwyane Wade through his Wade’s World Foundation. The kits include flashlights, cell phone chargers, hygiene kits, prepaid phone cards, gum, playing cards (always a necessity), a language guide, waterproof document holders, pens and paper, calculators, towels, a whistle, compass, dust mask, rain poncho, first aid kit, water purification tablets … basically any and everything you might need when you’re traveling to a foreign locale and may get separated from your group. You know, just in case ‘Melo and Dwight Howard end up stranded in China.

hey, you can never be too safe. If you don’t think the terrorists have a HUGE target on these games, you’re naive. Just in case something does happen and these guys do get seperated, it’d be nice to have…
gotta love Dwight too, it looks like he got his picture taken right as he was clowning DWade about it. That look just screams, “Can you believe this sh*t?!”

When those Islamic dudes blow up one of the stadiums and there is mass chaos in Bejing these kits will come in handy. . .

What are they Boy Scouts? I’ve heard of being prepared but that ish is ridiculous. Plus, all of that stuff and nothing to start a fire with.
Dwight looks a little TOO happy to be getting his bag, just saying.

Austin Burton says:
How many of the 12 bags (one for every team member) will end up being left on a hotel room floor or in some random bus seat? I’m saying no fewer than six.

David Brandon says:
i’ll roll with everyone except for jkidd. lol he’s an older cat and you know how brothas need all the help they can get when we get up there. lol

August 7th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
David Brandon says:

E$ says:
He actually came up with the idea after Katrina hit, but it’s still a good idea whoever uses it
August 7th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
doc says:
@Ab-I think half of them bags are lost already and by the end only D-Wade and Boozer will have them.I say Boozer because he needs that every game night to find his way off the bench.

why is it that lebron and wade have to make a big deal of the gifts they give?
i’m sure their p.r guys give this info out, it’s not cool. they give just to get recognize, which is a fake gift.

Yoooo says:
Who were the players caught coming out of a brothel? I have my ideas, but I wanna know the truth
August 7th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Tha Boddy says:
Thats wassup those gift packs have things you would need for many instances and i’ve heard from a news source that it was the Big “03″ in the brothel but thats just their guess not solid fact
August 7th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
daquest?on says:
@ yooo i know that melo was caught coming out of a brothel but i dont remember who else

Amar says:
I thought it was lebron, melo and a hanger on.
anyway, seriously, these bags are going to help against islamic terrorists? you guys just don’t get it do you? which asian nations are out there helping these gulf states procure propulsion technology? if you guessed china you may be onto something.
china’s big in the int’l arms trade, guess which insurgents buy a lot of those weapons.
no muslims are going to attack china unless it’s a false flag.

jdubbywubby says:
@ Amar – You’re right, we don’t get it. Please enlighten us with your knowledge on int’l arms trade, we’re tired of hearing comments about, say, BASKETBALL.
August 8th, 2008 at 12:22 am
Amar says:
wow Jdub . . . 1 guys brings up terrorism, the other guy brings up a racial thing about Islam (odds are some of the dime readers are Muslim), but you get on my case for tieing it all together with China’s hand in gun running?
thanks. what do terrorism and islam have to do with bball? if you’re going to call people out for being off topic — at least be consistent.

@ Amar “no muslims are going to attack china unless it’s a false flag.”
Get your facts straight and check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Turkestan_Islamic_Movement
There’s been major bombing threath by thos independentists(or at least the chinese authorities seem to pretend that there are).
But I agree, this is totally out of subject here.
