Gabrielle Union has been enduring lockdown with her husband Dwyane Wade and their kids.
But the actress revealed that her former NBA player husband has an interesting isolation hobby: watching his old games.
Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday’s episode of The Tonight Show, the 47-year-old said that to cope with the lack of sports airing during the pandemic, Dwyane has resorted to watching some games from his 16-year career.

‘The Last Dance, old games, his games, like he doesn’t know how they end,’ she said when asked what her husband is watching to stay busy.
Dwyane, 38, played for various teams in the NBA from 2003 until he retired in 2019.
‘We watched the 06 finals, and obviously I’d seen it over the years but never with him,’ the Being Mary Jane actress said. ‘You know, he was live tweeting this game like “oo good move D-Wade.”‘
‘But then I started watching it and I didn’t know how it ended. And he missed these two free-throws at the end of the game and like I didn’t want to talk to him for the rest of the night,’ she joked.

‘And we look up and Desmond’s like “oh that’s MJ,”‘ and she mimicked her shock and surprise at the basketball legend.
