Ah, summer. It’s gone as soon as it’s here, fading both slowly and quickly like a mid-July sunset. And when it’s over, all we have left are memories.
Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union miss the Banana Boat Crew, and so should you
So much has changed.
That’s the wistfulness of summer captured in this nine-second Snapchat from Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union, which shows them mourning summers past as they see a sad, lonely, empty banana boat on the water.
Don’t worry, Dwyane and Gabrielle, it breaks our heart to see that “lonely ass banana boat” too.
If you don’t remember, the banana boat tradition started back in 2015, when Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul and LeBron James spent their day riding around the high seas on, yes, a banana boat.
And the next summer, the traditions continued — this time including Knicks star Carmelo Anthony AND a custom Snapchat filter.
But this summer? Nothing but sadness. LeBron is busy being angry and working out, Chris Paul is adjusting to his new life as James Harden’s partner-in-crime and Melo is, like, just chilling in New York. And that leaves the Wade family relaxing by themselves, empty banana boat in tow.
But hey, there’s always next summer! Maybe 2018 is the year the Banana Boat Crew can finally get back together, riding their banana boat into the sunset.
Ah, summer.
