It turns out that after years of tossing a crumpled up piece of paper into the trash and shouting "Kobe!" we might have to start saying "Stephen!" after all. On Tuesday night, three-time NBA champion Dwyane Wade [1] stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert [2] to discuss his new self-titled memoir Dwyane and engage in a friendly game of wastepaper basketball. Colbert, who has quite the résumé of wastepaper basketball championships under his belt, boasted past victories against Barack Obama [3], Allen Iverson, and Julius Erving, before taking on the former Miami Heat guard in a crumpled-paper shoot-out.
Things got pretty intense, and Wade even tried to dunk at the end! Hilariously enough, comments on the video are noting that years of being a writer has made Colbert garner "magical skills" in the wastepaper basketball department. He remains undefeated! Watch the video above (around the 6:50 mark), and check out the baller's intimate new photo memoir [4], Dwyane, available now.
