Excessive HGH use grows the jaw.

If D-Wade isn't using something that gives a significant competitive advantage that's not being tested by the NBA in the HGH capital of the USA (Miami), then nobody in the NBA is using it.

I saw a shot of him sitting on the bench last night and thought he looked like a chipmunk saving up some nuts.
Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interesting.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

This "HGH jaw" stuff is becoming some Snopes ****. It's funny as a joke, cause his jaw size is pretty funny, but the wisdom tooth thing has to be the reason.

He literally would have to have done a large amount of HGH for years and years for it to grow to the size it is now (or the first year it got bigger in the NBA). So unless he started doing HGH in his early teens until when he got drafted/2nd year, it's just a myth.

The wisdom teeth thing is a joke. Wade's gotten his wisdom teeth removed in 2006.

Right, but his jaw looked more "normal" around that time, and then soon after it looked different. I've seen wisdom teeth removals make people's jawlines either bigger/smaller, so that seems like a more likely story than the HGH jaw size thing. I'm just using common sense here in that one thing is proven to potentially make the mouth area/jawline become bigger or smaller vs. him having to take HGH for years and years and years to just make his jaw suddenly appear huge one year.

Ernie Johnson had something with him a while ago. I can't recall the name of the problem. NHL players had it too few years ago.

Looks like a 36 year old DWade.

I'm 36 and my jaw didn't get ridiculously wide.

It's either a genetic thing that's unique to Wade or it's something to do with a substance

His jaw was already wide. Now he's older.

Imagine waking up to a forum of grown men discussing your jaw size.

Nothing wrong with being obese.
The most youthful people I've seen over the age of 40 are obese, because the more fat you have the less wrinkles you receive.

I've graded 519 films and only given 20 films a grade of 9/10 or better.
Nightcrawler I gave 9/10.
