How an Unlikely Conversion Story Led to Dwyane Wade Saying the Closing Prayer at a Baptism

It's an unlikely conversion story. Calyann Barnett initially wanted a Book of Mormon so she "could argue with me and prove me wrong about religion," Latter-day Saint Clarke Miyasaki posted on Instagram.

Attends Mormon baptism, buys the Jazz...welcome home, Brother Wade.

He is a brother. Very impressive deductive skills

This has to be aimed at changing the narrative about Utah, right?

That won't work until clubbing locations improve

Who knows. But I always liked Wade and I'm happy he's on my side now.

That's a great coup for the Jazz. First big name free agent to sign with Utah.

I heard it was all because his stylist is Mormon.

Joking aside. I'm sure it played a role.

For sure, Clarke Miyasaki (stance) develops connection with D Wade

I believe that she is the stylist for several of the Jazz players now, also.

That is really good for the Jazz. Players will notice this.

They will? You think that would make a difference in free agent signings?

TNT

4/16/21 10:36am

I would say it can't hurt. If you have Wade pitching it has to help.

Hasn't really worked for MJ. It would be cool if it helped the Jazz.

MJ took over a crappy team with bad leadership. Jazz have the 4th best winning

LakeshowCougs

4/16/21 10:48am

Big difference between MJ and Wade as well. We'll see if it helps

MacGyver

4/16/21 10:53am

Yeah there is a difference no doubt. Still players related easier to Wade than

LakeshowCougs

4/16/21 11:23am

A lot of players respect Dwade. Plus it honestly helps to have an ex-superstar

LakeshowCougs

4/16/21 10:47am

Along with this there's a stigma with Utah that makes players not want to come.

Mostlyaccurate

4/16/21 10:48am

Exactly

LakeshowCougs

4/16/21 11:20am

TNT is going to go ahead and say it won't impact free agent signings

TNT

4/16/21 10:56am

I think it raises the Jazz up one notch on the cool scale. They are now a 2/10

MacGyver

4/16/21 11:03am

Good call

TNT

4/16/21 11:10am

you mean 1/10..they were 0/10 🙂

ordinary tri guy

4/16/21 11:14am

That’s fair. The team is still in SLC. Can’t overcome that.

Nice.

Part of a plan to play half the home games in Las Vegas. The Utah Las Vegas Jazz

Why would they resurrect a 35 year old plan that didn't really work?

Wow. Impressive. DW has been a really good analyst on TNT. Like

Did his stylist who converted have a positive influence on him wrt Mormons?

When did Smith become Governor? I'd take him over Cox.
