Posing naked for ESPN’s 2016 Body Issue, Miami Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade reflects on being 34-years-old and still playing professional basketball. Wade says, “I never envisioned that I would be playing this long. I think I always told myself that my body would tell me, ‘Hey, I gave you enough, it’s time.’ So whenever my body tells me that, I’ll listen to it and then I’ll make that decision. But nah, I’m not there yet. Ive got some good years left.”
