‘D. Wade: Life Unexpected’
You don’t have to be a Miami Heat fan to enjoy D. Wade: Life Unexpected. This ESPN documentary takes a raw, in-depth look at the life and career of NBA superstar Dwyane Wade. Director Bob Metelus expertly weaves together 10 years worth of documentary footage, present-day interviews, and never-before-seen home movies to chart Wade’s meteoric rise, as well as the various personal controversies that dogged him throughout his long career. Many sports docs let their subjects off easy, but it never seems like Wade is playing things up for the cameras or avoiding tough questions. While D. Wade: Life Unexpected may not melt Boston Celtics fans’ hearts, everyone else should have tissues at the ready.
