Brandon Armstrong meets, imitates Dwyane Wade (Video)
By Andrew Fine
Dwyane Wade is the newest player targeted by NBA impersonator Brandon Armstrong, who released a video of his Wade imitation on Monday
Former D-Leaguer and international basketball player now turned NBA impersonator Brandon Armstrong claimed his next victim and it is none other than superstar Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat.
In collaboration with Vice Sports and Stance Socks, Armstrong released his latest NBA impression video entitled “Dwade Aerobics” on his Twitter account:
The video takes place in the American Airlines Arena, the Heat’s home court and a considerable upgrade from a driveway with a basketball hoop, which has been the main set of Armstrong’s other imitations of NBA players.
Armstrong mocks Wade by excessively hanging from the rim after a dunk, a move that Wade has made famous. Armstrong begins to do chin ups and talks about Wade’s work ethic while still hanging on to the rim.
The video also features cuts of Wade, who is seen laughing hysterically while he is watching an impersonation of himself on the sidelines of the arena.
Wade joins a list of other NBA players whom Armstrong has mimicked. Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks, Rajon Rondo of the Sacramento Kings, Kevin Garnett of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers, and Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder were also featured in Armstrong’s earlier videos.
NBA players are not the only ones to fall victim to Armstrong’s impressions. Even longtime referee Joey Crawford was the subject of an August video.
