Dwyane Wade Appears On "Kimmel" Following NBA Championship

Heat G Dwyane Wade appeared on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last night, and host Jimmy Kimmel called Wade "one of the snappiest dressers in the NBA." Kimmel said, "Congratulations. It has been a good week for you." Wade replied, "It's been alright."

Kimmel said of Wade's oldest son, "I hope you don't mind me showing this (but your son) has a highlights reel already." After the video of the fifth grader played, Kimmel said, "I don't know if you caught this. Your son is wearing LeBron shoes. How does that go over in your house?" Wade shook his head and answered, "No brand loyalty. No, it's funny, he loves Wade stuff, he wears all my stuff, anything I have. … But I did tell him, 'Hey, next tournament you better put on my shoes." Wade said of filming a Dove Men+ Care commercial with his sons, "My son … pretty much took over the whole commercial. ... He was supposed to be in it a little bit and then it took on where I was almost out of it" ("Jimmy Kimmel Live," ABC, 6/27).
