In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, Dorell Wright, Bob, and Chris Johnson get real about what makes players great—and what it takes to raise them.

 

They start with hoops talk: Westbrook’s unmatched energy, Draymond Green’s leadership beyond the stat sheet, and the game-changing presence of all-time greats like MJ, Kobe, LeBron, and Steph. Everyone shares their personal top-7 lists, shaped by impact, era, and firsthand experience.

 

Then it’s all about fatherhood and youth sports. They break down AU circuits—Nike, Adidas, UA, Puma—and the real debate: exposure vs. development. Dorell shares why his son switched teams for growth, and Chris explains Isaiah’s college-over-prep decision. Bob brings his parenting playbook to soccer, focusing on discipline, consistency, and love for the process—not just the sport.

 

It’s a raw look at how fathers shape not just athletes, but men.
