Violence is not something to be condoned. That's not what's going on here. Use your words, people. But if Dwyane Wade is still deciding whether to leave the Miami Heat, maybe this will provide a unique bit of motivation.

WWE star Kane appeared on the Marc Hochman Show with Zach Krantz in Miami, and the hosts were curious of Kane might have a particular move he could use as "leverage" against Wade. To which Kane naturally replied, "I’d be happy to chokeslam him if that’s okay."

It's kind of Kane to make sure that Wade would be okay with the chokeslam. Wikipedia lists Kane at 7-feet tall, 324 pounds; Basketball-Reference has Wade at 6-foot-4, 212 pounds. If the math checks out, that's an eight-inch, 112 pound difference.

And Kane has a history with NBA figures. Just ask the Phoenix Suns Gorilla mascot.

All this does raise an interesting question -- if Kane is a Heat fan, or at least in the service of keeping Wade in Miami, does that make Undertaker a LeBron James fan? Greatness has to recognize greatness, and there's definitely the whole brothers-and-rivals thing going on.

On the other hand, Undertaker's record at WrestleMania (22-1) is slightly better than James' Finals record (2-4). That could be a deal-breaker.
