    It's hard not to like Wade after this response to the douchebag media w****.

    I think we need to give the Mavs team (outside of Dirk) some credit too. I've called them this before but it's like watching the championship pistons + Dirk. They play together, they play tough defense, and they give themselves a chance each game. Their front office has done an excellent job building a team backwards. Instead of bringing in young guys and letting them grow and have the team take on the mentality of its star, they acquired former stars and veterans that masked the weaknesses of its star. Instead of building a team full of only scorers they packed the team with great defenders, rebounders, and versatile playmakers. The only problem with this method of team building is there isn't much room for improvement but if they win a ring who cares.

    This video just proves the big three's douchiness. They do these antics, but they still want to be liked. Jason Terry will do that pose after a free throw two minutes into the game, but we all know Jason Terry is a douche, even Jason Terry knows he's a douche. He doesn't try to hide it.
    Lebron and Wade do. They care what others think of them, then they carry on anyways, then they deny like it was no big deal.

    I'm making a list of all my haters.
    :two days later:Yo, that wasn't me I was hacked. :rolleyes:

    Tyson Chandler and Jason Terry out of all the players should not be complaining about someone celebrating. Chandler celebrates every dunk he gets. Jason Terry celebrates when he hits a 3. Deshawn Stevenson poses after every 3 he hits.

    Only reason Miami celebration looked dumb is because they blew the lead. Any team would have been acting like how they acted last night when they went on that run to put them up 15.

    Wade answered that question well. What was the reporter expecting, for them to be apologetic? At this stage of the playoffs? You can call me a Heat hater and all, but the press is just reaching on this one.

    EVERYONE celebrates. Jon and Sura did their underhand 3 sign, Walker acts like a r****ded preschooler, and Wade/LerBon does their thing. Who cares.

    Plus we act like we've never seen a LerBon-lead team celebrate. We all know and we all hate it. But this is really toned down compared to what we're used to.

    To me Wade and Lebron are players that are hard to like. Just with their game, I´d be in love with Wade - but the way they both complain to officials, act to get foulcalls (remember the Lebron act where he sold he was hit in the eye when he wasn`t - and later blinked to his coach as to what a great play he did?), at times only try to get to the FT-line and also some of their celebrations are just disgusting to me. With all the talent in the world, they don`t need that...

    QFT. I've learned to appreciate Lebron as a player over this year especially due to his performance in the playoffs, eventhough he's a douche. Wade I liked coming out of Marquette and his first few years in the league when he was getting converse deals and being a nice guy, marrying the same girl he went out with in high school....then he cheated on her with Gabrielle Union and turned into a big headed south beach celeb, while his wife went psycho.

    If both of these guys were alot more humble, hell maybe not even humble, just more "likeable" ala Shaq then it'd be easier to root for them. Unfortunately they're douches.

    I've always been a Rockets fan and hated the Mavs...even when I moved up to North Texas here in D/FW back in 1995. I've put up with a lot of crappy Rockets teams since 1995 but still hated the Mavs the whole time regardless. However, I have to admit I want the Mavs to win this series and their play has grown on me. All the hate I felt for the Mavs seems to have dwindled at least for now. The Mavs have earned my respect this season with their play and the way they approach/play the game. They may or may not win this series...but I think the Mavs are good enough to be champions this season regardless of James/Wade/Bosh. I think James and Wade are a bunch of classless showboating clowns out there who seem to be more about dunk style points than finishing games. They were gloating up by 15 and it bit them right in the ass. I hope Mavs play well enough at home to break their backs. I think Dirk deserves the championship more than Lebron or Dwade. I hope he can lead his team to prevail over these clowns.

    So I watched the replay of the game on ESPN3.... what a pathetic flop from D-Wade off the 35-foot 3-point attempt at the very end.

    Keep rolling them. Them getting paid a ton doesn't have anything to do with them both taking the same amount of time (individually) to answer questions that they can answer together. If they weren't doing the interviews or taking time to answer questions then the complaint would be legit. But to complain that they take time to answer reporters questions together....seriously??

    Can someone please post a pic of Steve nash and his daughter? He wasn't even paying attention to the game when the Mavs were making their run. Pathetic display of friendship towards Dirk.
