    Top 5 easily, cannot stand the guy and the love he gets from the media. When will they blast him for stuffing his face with food like a hamster?

    But but but he took a girl to the prom and he is a good guy!

    Dirty? No, he's just playing super hard!

    Ha.

    I don't know about dirty. What he is doing is retaliating and/or trying to set a tone, so the other team doesn't think he/they can be pushed around. When the big guys do it, people just call them the enforcers of the team and see it as a necessary action. The Heat haven't had a big like that, so perhaps that's why Wade took on the role.

    The problem is most bigs have comparable strength, but Wade is stronger than most guards and SFs, so it turns out worse.

    Pretty sure everyone would love to have Wade or Garnett on their team. Its only bush league and douchey when said player is on the opposing team.

    Vernon Maxwell used to be like that for us and he was considered a crazy, mad guy who got fined all the time. Wade on the other hand has been a poster boy for the NBA for years and 99% of the time he is praised. Now what do you make of that? Also consider this, Maxwell has thrown punches and elbows, many times in retaliatory manner but he never went for the balls ;)

    That's because he was crazy, but he was our crazy.

    loved the flash...ever since Bron came around, dont like him much. He is very dirty and its more annoying bc he does it in a sneaky manner.

    Pretty rare for a player to turn into a superstar and be the same guy he was b4. James Harden is bound to turn into a whiny player who feels entitled to everything. The kind who stands around when he doesn't have the ball which he already became at the end of the season. Walks back on defense bc hes arguing with the refs etc

    Wade is tough, and I like that. He hasn't done anything that would make me lose my cool if he played for the Rocks. Players need to play aware when someone like him is on the court. It's one of the things Wade uses. Intimidation, in his own way. Nothing that wasn't as common as Wheaties back in the day.

    If Stephenson did the exact same thing to Wade, Wade would have been crumpled on the floor and Stephenson would have gotten a flagrant.

    Lance might get a fine for harming Wade's elbow with his face.

    I legit thought Stephenson was going to go crazy and fight wade because of the anger and frustration in his expression from missing so many shots and getting calle for foul but not getting the calls..

    He plays like that because he just can't play at a high level anymore like he used to; his body is letting him down and he's gone on record and said his injury is worse that last year's.

    Also him and the zebras are the reason Mavs don't have two championship trophies right now.
