Nike Basketball and Lebron James introduce The Zoom Lebron VI (6) is designed to have a more futuristic look rather than the basketball type look that we have seen in the past with the first five models.

I’m back for my third episode of “Inside the Mind of Dwyane Wade.” The last time I ended in Las Vegas, where we were preparing for our trip to Beijing.  There were a few stops along the way, Macau and Shanghai.

We departed around 1 a.m. on Sunday on Cathay Pacific Airlines.  It was a great plane that had seats that turned into beds.  Well at least 12 of us got those seats! When we got to our seats we all received something to sleep in let’s just say I felt like Chris Tucker in “Rush Hour.”  The flight took about 14 hours so I spent that time sleeping and catching up on DVDs.

We arrived in Macau at about 5 a.m., which by this point was Monday.  The hotel that we stayed in was amazing, the Venetian Resort, probably one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in. It had so many amenities that you never had to leave the property, even the arena we played in was at the hotel.  The basketball fans at the hotel were very excited that we were staying there and we constantly got bombarded every where we went, especially walking with LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.  Now walking around by myself, maybe five people will rush me.  With them, its more like 500!  The fans chased us and we chased them just to have fun.

We did a lot of goofy things because we get real silly when we are all together. The first morning LeBron could not sleep so he woke everyone up at about 5:30 a.m. just to have breakfast at Cafe Deko.  We weren’t happy. By the end of the week we created a trend of having an early team breakfast which allowed us to continue to bond with each other.

By Saturday we were on an early flight to Shanghai.  We were only there for four days. We played two games in four days, it was like an NBA season.

We were really tired, but we made it work.  We beat Russia by 21 points — that’s when everyone started saying that USA might be beatable.  Just because we won by 21 and not 36.  The next game we played Australia and we won by nine points but it felt like we lost.  We know we didn’t play well and everyone started saying that Team USA really is beatable.  These types of games keep us humble and focused on what we need to do.

On Wednesday we headed to Beijing, a moment we have all waited for. The USA women’s team took a two hour bus ride and met us in Shanghai so that we could arrive in Beijing together, which was great. Once we got to Beijing we were met by a ton of fans all chanting the same thing: Kobe! Kobe! Kobe!

We’re staying at a hotel along with the woman’s basketball team, staff and our families. But once we got settled, one of the first things we did as a team was visit the Olympic Village. We wanted to meet and talk to some of our US swimmers, including Michael Phelps and the boxers — pretty much everyone who represents our country. People are making a big deal about us not staying in the Olympic Village and its important for us to let our fellow athletes know that we support them and want to be part of the full experience with them. So we’ve already visited the village twice in three days and will continue to go and hang out with athletes from other sports.

Last night was the opening ceremony and it was amazing. This was my second opening ceremony and the feeling did not change — it’s special taking that walk for your country. We had an opportunity to take a picture with George Bush, who was in attendance with his wife and father. He came to greet all of the US teams and took pictures with each team which was real cool. It was great to walk around and wave to the fans, especially those that were carrying USA banners. We had a great sense of pride last night.

Tomorrow we play China and it will be one of the most watched games because they are estimating that it will be over one billion viewers. The game features two of China’s favorite teams and two of China’s favorite players, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. I think it’s a great game to start with and will just add to the Olympic excitement.

I’ll be back soon with an update from Beijing. Rest assured that we are focused and ready. We’re taking it one day at a time — and one game at a time.
