Aww. Miami Heat player Dwyane Wade’s letter to basketball reads like an earnest, and early, version of Common’s “I Used to Love Her,” a love letter to hip-hop.
But unlike hip-hop, the game doesn’t start turning tricks in adulthood.
The letter is the inspiration for a Converse promotion by Anomaly. The spot, “From Robbins, Illinois,” started airing on October 28th. Around that time, the Wade 3 signature basketball shoe was also released.
See the spot and behind-the-scenes footage here. The :60 piece does a good job of capturing a moment that apparently meant a lot to him.
Also, Wade is really into triangles.
