Traina Thoughts: Dwyane Wade Gives Us a Rare Feel-Good Story

James Shaw Jr. got an unexpected visit from his favorite basketball player Dwyane Wade on "Ellen."

1. Everyone is fighting. Everyone.

In the past 24 hours, we've had, Draymond Green vs. Charles Barkley, the Astros vs. Trevor Bauer, Drake vs. Kendrick Perkins, and Ken Giles vs. himself.

So I want to flip the script here and focus on something positive. Let's have a feel-good moment on hump day!

Enter NBA star Dwyane Wade, who surprised Waffle House hero James Shaw Jr. during a taping of Ellen on Tuesday. Shaw, who pried the gun out of the hands of a shooter in the Nashville restaurant a couple of weeks ago, told host Ellen DeGeneres that Wade was his favorite basketball player. Right on cue, Wade came out. He spent time with Shaw and presented him with a gift. Nice job, D-Wade.

2. Such a grizzled veteran move here by Rajon Rondo to wipe his sweat all over the basketball before Draymond was about to take a free throw last night.

3. The No. 1 highlight of the young 2018 MLB season came last night from Cardinals infielder Kolten Wong.

Oh no...it's worse than we thought. @KoltenWong is actually 0-for-2 with the water cooler celebration. 🤭 #STLCards pic.twitter.com/RzwZWxroZt

I got inspired by @VicOladipo. I also texted my trainer. Here is his response... @HoopConsultants pic.twitter.com/Wgo1p0dmh1

5. Glenn Jacobs -- known to WWE fans as Kane -- won the GOP primary for mayor of Knox County, Tenn., last night. So let's remember the time Kane set Jim Ross on fire.

IN CLOSING: LeBron James had a triple-double last night and actually had a subpar game for him. That's how good he is.
