OK, we'll admit, we're partially posting this story up so we could run the headline. We're a little wary of the premise: All-NBAer, top-three player in the current NBA and one-third of the villainous Miami Three, Dwyane Wade, makes an appearance at a Chicago Dick's Sporting Goods to pitch G Series Pro on behalf of Gatorade. The catch is that he's disguised as your average product pitch person found in malls and wholesale clubs all over. Sure, Wade is disguised behind a bad afro wig and glasses and garbed in a pedestrian uniform of polo shirt, khakis, and "official" lD on lanyard, but how could Chitown (c'mon, it's at a sporting goods store) not spot one of their most famous sons pitching product he's regularly seen on commercials pitching?
