As if preparing for the regular season wasn't a big enough challenge, Dwyane Wade recently received a challenge from a non-NBA source.
On October 9, a Miami-based grandmother named Nelly posted a video on YouTube challenging Wade to a game of one-on-one for her 90th birthday. Watch the intimidating challenge below:
It's a pretty adorable video, topped off by Nelly exlaiming "Wow!" at her own made basket on a six-foot hoop.
The word got out to Wade:
"@BrianLacsina: My Grandma challenges @DwyaneWade on a one-on-one for her 90th birthday.. https://t.co/CPMCgm6HJK"(let's do it grandma)

A few days later, after accepting the challenge, Wade posted the following to his Instagram account:
However, no video has surfaced of Wade actually playing Nelly one-on-one. Perhaps Wade is pulling a LeBron James and hiding the tape.
Still, it's nice to see Wade taking time out to make a fan happy, and it seems to have truly touched him.
