n this episode of The WY Network, Dwyane Wade, Chris, D Wright and special guest, Rajon Rondo dive into what it really takes to win—and defend—a championship. They reflect on the mental challenges of returning to the Finals after a title run, the weight of injuries, and the grit it takes to lead without scoring. The crew gives props to underappreciated legends like Dwight Howard and unpacks how selfless play and sharing the ball can change the game. They also break down the unique intensity of the NBA bubble and what made that championship feel like streetball with the highest stakes. From high school stardom to navigating team egos, it’s a masterclass in leadership, resilience, and love for the game.
