The routine arrives with confidence.
Will Wade’s intro presser at LSU was a copycat of his NC State presser, complete with similar phrases and talking points. He even had a Freudian slip, referencing the “Wolf” instead of LSU. It’s clear that Wade is trying to sell his vision to the fanbase, but it’s hard not to notice the similarities between his two press conferences. As one Twitter user noted, “It’s word salad. Will Wade is simply trying to sell (or resell) his vision to the fanbase.”
Wade’s departure from NC State was met with criticism, and his new role at LSU is already generating buzz. But it’s clear that he’s not worried about what others think – he’s focused on his new role and is ready to move forward.
As Wade starts his new chapter at LSU, it’s clear that he’s bringing his same old routine with him.
He’s still got the same passion and competitive fire, but now he’s got a new fanbase to sell it to.
And he’s not afraid to reuse his old material to do it.
After all, why fix what ain’t broke?
