DWade on Trae Young’s Fresh Start, Ja to Miami Rumors, & Giving Away His Olympic Bronze Medal

In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade and Bob reflect on growth, perspective, and where they are heading into 2026. Dwyane shares how a recent trip to Japan served as a reset ahead of his birthday, helping him focus less on resolutions and more on finding peace and protecting his mental health.

He opens up about a regret from early in his career, admitting he gave away his bronze medal from the 2006 World Games and now sees it as an important part of his story that he wants back.

The conversation moves through sports and culture, touching on the shifting landscape of the NFL and NBA, the future of college athletics, and how patience and time are essential for young players to grow. They also lighten things up with talks on fashion, lifestyle choices, and a classic R&B debate that closes the episode on a fun note.
