Dwyane Wade recounts him and Jimmy Butler losing $50K to Rajon Rondo, other teammates while… – Heat Nation

During his career in the NBA, Dwyane Wade won three titles and the distinction as one of the best shooting guards in league history.

Unfortunately, the Miami Heat legend and his former Chicago Bulls teammate Jimmy Butler were no match for Rajon Rondo when it came to gambling on road trips.

Me and Jimmy were going on a two-week road trip and Rondo is a shark, Wade said. Rondo is one of those guys that he can probably count all the cards. He shouldnt play; hes too smart.

So we were gambling with him and Jimmy says, D, how much money you going to bring? I said, Were going on a two-week trip and I feel like man Im going to bring a lot of money. Im going to bring $50,000. I can lose $50,000 for this trip. I mean, not lose, but Ill lose.

Wade was confident that he could bring that amount of money and stretch it out over the course of a two-week road trip. That didnt turn out to be the case.

I lost $50,000 within two hours on the plane ride, Wade said. We didnt even get to the city we were going to, and you know who else lost it? Jimmy Butler lost as well.

Needless to say, Wade and Butler learned their lesson when it came to gambling with Rondo during road trips.
