Dwyane Wade held a Fantasy Camp, where 100 or so men between the ages of 35 to 68 are spending four days with Wade, Hall of Famer Chris Mullin, Miami Hurricanes coach Jim Larranaga, Florida Atlantic coach Mike Jarvis, former Duke star Jay Williams and a slew of others – with everything taking place at a posh Miami Beach hotel, all for $12,500 per person. Â Part of Friday’s session was a question-and-answer period, where (Dwyane) Wade let the campers ask whatever they wanted. One particular question seemed to bring out an especially good answer, when someone asked how he can get better. Â Read more after the jump.
“I’ve done a lot of great things in eight years. So what?” Wade said. “I’ve got to figure out in the next wave of my career, how do I get better? … In my mind, I have what I feel is a next level. And I have a blueprint in front of me. I have the Michael Jordans of the world. I have the Kobe Bryants of the world. I have these guys that are showing what’s the next level.”
And he said his teammates with the Heat, especially LeBron James and Chris Bosh, will join him in a quest to keep improving – which is what he was trying to teach his campers how to do.
“The only way the Miami Heat gets better is if individually I come back better, if individually LeBron comes back better, if individually Chris comes back better,” Wade said. “So going forward, I know that every year, my role might change. At the end of the day, it’s about team success. Individual success, I’ve had it, I’ve done it. Team success is way better.”
