Going through FB message requests. Did I actually get a message from D Wade nearly 15 years ago and didn’t know it?



I was going through old message requests and came across this message. No idea if this is real or not. Link: https://imgur.com/a/sGl62zT

It is the actual verified page for Dwyane Wade with 10m+ followers. It was almost 2 in the morning back in March of ‘09. Has anyone gotten any legit messages from pro players on socials before?

I don’t recall people running your social being a thing 15 years ago. It’s long enough ago to make me think it might be him and not someone running the page.

Edit: I actually went to the Jazz game later that day.

    That was your one chance to have a famous friend

    This is like when you’re lying in your bed late at night and you realize that one girl was flirting with you years ago but you were too dumb to notice

  3. BallIsKindaLife

    Message back now and say hey what up D wade

  4. jaywalker_69

    The internet was such a naive place once

    Common DWade W tho, it’d be fun if he saw this again

  5. 2holesinbutt666

    Can you tell what you were saying back then that made D Wade message you? You could’ve built a small relationship wow had you replied. Super cool

    2009 was the summer I met D Wade in the Chicago Ridge Mall food court. He was leaving the AMC theater attached to the food court and stopped to sign and take pictures with everyone.

    And now he’s too busy hosting The Cube to get back to you

    You missed your chance to become best friends with DWade.

    Maybe you jilting him lead to his insane game against Utah that day, where he went for 50/10/9 in a triple overtime thriller

    Years ago I got a message from Eric Dickerson about a post I wrote up on historic comps for Marshawn Lynch. I thought that was pretty cool.

    Damn what a trip back on memory lane. I had forgotten Boozer was on that 08 Olympics team.

    Bro this is an all time fumble

  13. MildlyPaleMango

    Giannis liked my tweet voting for him to the all star team in 16-17 or 17-18

    No. Your wife was catfishing you in the hopes of making you feel better about all the online comments you’ve e left on your favorite athletes timelines without a response that you told her about. Congrats, you passed the test and are loved.

    Love,
    Your Wife

    I am guessing this is a message that was sent through automatically to many of his friends. I used to get a lot of these messages from pages/FB groups of bands and stuff that I liked on FB. And the message sounds generic that it would have been mass sent out.

    If this isn’t edited, then this is 100% him lol. That sucks dude, but you should print this out and frame it in your house.

  17. groovyt0ny

    this reminds me of the guy who spoke to Raekwon on the phone

  18. It looks like a mass message. Sure he probably typed that up, but I doubt he was drafting that up specifically for you

  19. KneelBeforeCube

    Have you checked all your messages? Maybe you missed out on more stuff like hooking up with one of 2009’s hottest woman like Eliza Dushku or Christina Millian.

    Wade slid into your DMs and you blew it.

    This is a common scam. People create account of celebs (or of people close to celebs), and try to interact with people who admire the celebrity. It ends with the scammer trying to get the victim to send money, pay for something, or invest in something.

  22. ChingChonger

    I’d completely believe it’s real my buddies ran into DWade on Omegle back in the day NBA stars always seem to be way more online then other sports

  23. trentyz

    We should start a campaign to reunite DWade with this guy

  24. m3junmags

    OP, it may actually reach d-wade now, since it’ll probably be talked about in the media (it is already) so be tunes to your messages, he might say something again 🙂

  25. Ryadekiru

    i wouldnt be shocked if this was someone who made a Dwayne Wade page, got the name, and then had some fun with it before selling it to Wade or his manager

    but if it was him – thats awesome! Really sweet of him to do such a thing

    This is the time I walked into a local hole in the wall pizza shop in CT (NOT Colony), and I swear Chris Drury was just standing there in line by himself. Made sense it could have been him; was some time around free agency in the summer and he could have been in between Hartford and NYC at the time, and he is from CT.

    I was so confused as to whether or not it was him, I don’t even know what I would’ve said that I just left when my order was ready.

  27. Tty98789

    I used to be Facebook friends with John wall and he sometimes liked my posts 15 years ago lol

  28. PutinBoomedMe

    D Wade probably had someone running his page even back then lol

  29. YoungFlexibleShawty

    most likely some type of bot that he had which sent messages to everyone that commented on his FB.

    >I may drop a line every now and then to let you know what’s on my mid

    This line pretty much gives away this is a mass message.
