Gabrielle is in tight shape for a couple of reasons. She was an athlete herself. She played a few sports in high school, and played soccer on the collegiate level at Nebraska. She actually graduated from UCLA with a degree in sociology, and was planning to go to law school. She got an internship at a modeling agency in her senior year of high school, then the agency actually asked her if they could represent her instead. She started getting modeling, then acting gigs and thought it was cool to make money to pay off school loans. She ended up sticking with it as a career instead. When she was younger she stayed in shape for sports, then she ended up making a living from her looks, so she kept it tight as an adult because of that. She's never been a golddigger-type, just trying to snag an athlete or actor just for the money. Again, I get the objections to her age, to Dwyane wifing her up because of her age, or him marrying at all. But if you're going to put a ring on someone's finger, I don't know if you can do better regarding the type of person she is.
Also, and I forget this at times is that Black women just don't age the same as regular white American women. A Black woman at 41 is not the same as a white one, she looks like a 33 year or white female and is probably more comparable.

He nearly did not make it to the league after a serious injury in college,
Could you link where you found that? Thats surprising to see considering he was drafted 5th.
He fucked up his knee at Marquette in 2002, had surgery to clean out cartilage but it came back to haunt him as he has had some issues with the knee throughout his career. He was taken a spot or two higher then expected. Riley and the Heat wanted Melo, and were leaning more towards Chris Kaman if Melo was scooped up. Wade was seeing as a Wild Card sort of because of that knee but Riley took the gamble and it payed off for both him and Wade.
