At 35 years old, Dwyane Wade is no spring chicken. But while Wade may be old in NBA-terms, he is still playing at a high level.
Take for example his performance against the Boston Celtics in Chicago's 111-97 victory on Tuesday. Wade finished with 22 points, including three three-pointers, and added four rebounds and two assists. The stellar performance from Wade was instrumental for the Bulls to take a 2-0 series lead over the Celtics in the first-round.
Wade's performance is coming off the heels of him telling reporters on Monday that the Bulls were going to rely on Jimmy Butler in the playoffs, but that he would be ready as well.
Wade: "We'll ride Jimmy until we can't ride him no more. And then when they're ready to ride me, I'm ready."

While Wade played quite well in Game 2, his wife Gabrielle Union still decided to have some fun at his expense.
Guess they took Old Bessie out for a spin tonight 🤗 https://t.co/ROniQu5Dx0

Just a savage and solid joke by Union. The emoji really seals it and shows that she is just playing around with her husband — something she also did on Twitter after he missed a dunk in Game 1.
The Bulls will need “Old Bessie” to keep it up in Game 3 on Thursday so they can extend their lead over the Celtics to 3-0.
