Gabrielle Union on Twitter (@itsgabrielleu)

I know this is going to be hard for some people to accept but every NBA player is cooler than any of us. Even Austin Rivers. But it takes a special person to really be able to land a joke that puts an athlete in their place. Luckily for us the NBA has Gabrielle Union.

As a very successful actress, Gabrielle Union has some serious clout. And when she decides to use it to land a joke on her husband Dwyane Wade it almost always lands successfully. And it tends to be really, really funny.

Like the time Wade attempted a dunk and missed and Union let us know that it was her revenge on him for the mistake every husband in the world has made before.

I mean seriously where else do we get to see NBA players embarrassed for stuff like that? And now Wade is getting older and older and more and more into social media, which gives Union plenty of reasons and opportunities to make jokes.

If you aren’t following her this summer you are going to miss out on a few incredible jokes. Both about Wade and life in general. And we can’t be purely basketball focused. Being somewhat well rounded is good for everyone. Even Austin Rivers.
