so....is he just gonna finish his career as a television commercial actor now or what?? he has so much time making so many commercials, rather than playing his game injury---<career

im not a Heat's fan, but there season is a joke.

 

Yeah, he's been making so many Team Mobile commercials, I bet he doesn't care about playing anymore he got his contract and his ring so he's good.

 

Wow. Catch any Heat games earlier this year guys? The guy still flied around without prejudice up until the day he had to shut it down. In all reality, it seems he came back from his knee and shoulder surgeries to soon since we started off terrible. Or turrble if you ask his best bud Chuck.

 

of course not. he'll be back.

however, it is a concern how he keeps picking up different injuries. whether it's from coming back too soon and not healing properly or if it's his body or if it's his style of play, it is a concern.

 

Yeah my biggest concern are the injuries. It's been well documented locally.

 

Dwayne Wade meet Gilbert Arenas... another has-been

yeah I said it

 

26 year old has been?

in his last full season he averaged 28ppg, but yeah clearly he has declining skills.

 

Has been? Declining? He hasn't hit his prime yet. Wow people are quick to judge a career.

 

I bring my theory back again. D-wade won it because of Shaq and can't carry a team or even be the star...hes a second fiddle player.

There's a different between players like T-Mac (19 wins with the same roster LBJ took to the conf finals) and d-wade (fall down 6 times get up 0) who absolutely can't do anything with shitty players

...and players l ike LBJ (same players as tmac last year and took them past detroit) and kobe (kobe kept his lakers teams in the playoffs)

...so yeah, d-wade isn't really a has-been but a neverhasbeen?

 

Does Miami win the championship without Wade?

also TMac? how many 2nd rounds has he been to?

 

personally, i wouldn't put wade in the has-been or declining category until we see what he can do while fully healthy. unfortunately, as stated above, being healthy is becoming a concern.

but people act like wade's a career failure. give him an opportunity to at least carry a team for once. how do we know if he can or can't carry a team if he hasn't even had a chance to?

 

Your counterargument is flawed...that's like saying do the bulls win the championship without toni kukoc. Sure he's an essential player, but definately not THE player.

Q.E.D.

 

Yeah, I might be stretching it a bit when I say he's done. But just as it irks you that people put wade on the declining list...it equally pisses me off when they say wade is a superstar. He's not, and as of right now...TODAY I'd take a host of other point/2guards over him including the obvious AND b-diddy/monta ellis

 

but you're argument that he can't carry a team is ok? Let's judge him based on a couple of injury riddled seasons.

 

Chris Webber missed several games early in his career like Wade. He might not be a lock for HOF (however very possible) but for most of his career was considered a superstar. Plus he has no rings while Wade has one. Be patient people.

The teams who won the NBA Finals had more than one star so I dont understand the logic that Wade needed Shaq to win it all. How does that made Wade not a star? Even Jordan needed Pippen although Jordan did most of the heavy lifting. Both considered superstars. How do you compare Toni Kukoc to Wade? LOL wasn't Wade Finals MVP? 2nd Team All-NBA twice and 3rd Team once? 4 time All Star. He's only played 5 years and in 3 of them Top 12 MVP voting. 2nd Team All Defense once.

 

would you say carmelo anthony is a superstar? what about tracy mcgrady?

obviously, labeling a player as a "superstar" is subjective.

now, while i'm not so sure that wade belongs in the kobe, lebron category, i think he's in that next tier alongside the likes of melo and tmac.

the wade analogy to kukoc is weak.

a better one would be: shaq couldn't win a ring without kobe and vice versa.

 

True. LBJ and Kobe are top of the heap. I would define Wade, Melo, etc as superstars. But Monta Ellis or B Diddy over Wade. B Diddy was another guy always hurt. Healthy the last 2 years he's better than Wade? He's only been to the All Star game twice in 9 years. FYI this year Wade has a better PPG average, had a better FG%, and almost as many assists while playing SG when Jason Williams is the starting PG. Clearly Golden State is more talented but I'm sure Don Nelson would take Wade over either.

 

D-Wade is classier than most of the entire NBA put together and when he isn't making commercials he does a TON of charity work....

plus hes a hellava baller.

COME TO CHICAGO DWAYNE!!!

 

from what i've read and heard, this is true. and if it is true, he gets a from me.

people still can't spell his first name correctly: dwyane. i guess you can't be a superstar if people don't even know how to spell your name.

as for baron davis, i dunno. i'd rather have wade. but wade's more of a sg, and davis is more of a pg. funny, though, because they're not that different in size.

but i give respect to davis. he did his thing with the hornets and the warriors now.

 

famous our not... i can't spell for shit most of the time anyway.

edit: see... cant even spell OR

 

WTF

I have just lost all respect for DWade. If this is true then he should lose all his endorsements and be banned from the league!

 

isn't he married?

don't believe it. especially since they couldn't even spell his name correctly.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwyane_...the_court_life

 

 

yes

 

Wade's going out with Star Jones? This just in: Barkley has removed Wade from his fav 5.

 

nah man can't be true, he loves his wife. but, enough with those tmobile commercials they're annoying.

 

see my post above.

apparently, he and his wife are separated.

 

omg, but why star jones?

 

 

It was in today's Herald in the rumor section. Being married to a sports athlete = probably not going to work. Or you can be like Doug Christie.

 

...or John Stockton

he had six kids.....ALL WITH HIS WIFE!

Shawn Kemp and Travis Henry could learn from him

 

Rose, Wade, Marion, Brand, new center...oh how much id love it

 

That's a lot of pay cuts

 

did john stockton convert to mormon-ism while in utah?

 

Dude, did you even watch that series? Won it because of Shaq??? They won that series because of Dwayne Wade's phenomenal play, not from the 17 and 9 boards per game from Shaq.

And since when did T-Mac and Lebron switch rosters?

 

Thank you!

granted, neither player would have won the trophy without the other, but wade clearly carried that team.

i don't understand the notion that shaq led miami to that championship.

Guys. That argument was taken care of weeks ago. No need to rehash. Let's focus on his poor taste.
