Carmine Gotti Gives Dwyane Wade An Offer That He Can, Uh, Totally Refuse

For decades now, the New York Post has been a running joke in the news business. It’s a daily tabloid, we say, home to some of the most sensational “journalism” you’ll find anywhere in media. But you know what? Sometimes the Post is just awesome. Where else would you find an anecdote like this?

↵↵Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade is a brave man. He point-blank refused to meet Mafia boss John Gotti’s grandson, Carmine Gotti, while both were partying at Meatpacking club M2 on Saturday. A source said: “Gotti was celebrating his birthday upstairs and was excited to hear Wade was downstairs. He headed down and asked to meet Wade, who responded, ’There’s no way I’m meeting the Gottis or having my photo taken with them.’ Gotti’s security guard got into a scuffle with Wade’s. Gotti then headed back to his friends looking visibly upset, and Wade, who felt uncomfortable with the situation, decided to leave.”

↵↵And I’ve always liked Dwyane Wade, but that has to be one of the cooler moves of all time. “Oh, some kid named Carmine sent a bodyguard to arrange a meet-and-greet? And he looks like this? Yeah... There’s no way I’m doing that.” Better luck next time, Carmine.
