Callum Turner Takes Credit for Dwyane Wade’s Heat Victory After Stunning Revelation

The NBA and mainstream superstars are coming closer together. For select arenas, NBA games masquerade as special events for celebrity sightings as well. In particular, locations like New York and Los Angeles serve as the perfect backdrop for superstars. However, given the state of the two franchises for the last decade or so, not many go back with happy memories. Appearing on the Kelly Clarkson Show, Dwyane Wade was responsible for playing spoiler to his co-guest on a special day.

Callum Turner might don many hats. However, basketball aficionado isn’t one of them. A lifelong soccer fan, the superstar has been to just one NBA game in his lifetime. The New York Knicks versus the Miami Heat.

Given the vast difference in talent and record over the past decade, the result is rather safe to assume. Unfortunately for Turner, he was sharing seats with the man responsible for his town’s misery. “I’ve only ever been to one basketball game and I saw this man.” 

“The one basketball game was Knicks-Heat and you guys won.” But Callum was quick to hog some of the spotlight in a joking manner. “It had nothing to do with me being there…I’m going to take some credit.” Immediately, The Flash took on a smirking, proud attitude in a hilarious bit. As the audience and Kelly herself exploded into laughter, it continued the lighthearted setting for the entire evening.

Earlier in the evening, as well, Wade would reveal his true feelings on the statue matter. And the exact peculiar reason why he isn’t fully comfortable with the idea yet.

Dwyane Wade isn’t dead yet

Or, at least, that is the reason the 3x NBA Champion is hanging on. After getting the first statue in the team’s history emblazoned after him, the situation is still a little “weird” for him. Due to the ancient feeling that monuments and statues give him, at 42, Flash feels a little too young for such an honor.

While he’s incredibly proud and happy about the achievement, which Pat Riley unveiled to the entirety of HeatNation after getting Dwyane’s blessing, it may take some time before the awkwardness wears off. But, with a flourishing career on-screen, it might not be long before the 2006 Finals MVP is a household name.

Who knows, maybe it will lead to a collaboration with Turner someday as well.
