    I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed he traveled. It's kind of like blake griffin's dunk on gallinari. Both sick dunks, but traveling should of been called.

    Pretty amazing the dunks you can do when you're allowed to take all the steps you need.

    Edit - commenting after just checking out the OP - glad to see the vid calling out the 4-step travel.

    Flashy dunk that everyone drools over while losing the game to a better team sounds pretty much like the Heat.

    All style, no substance.

    Yeah I always get a kick out of people complaining about a play being a travel. I mean it's the NBA where the travel call is hardly ever called on plays like that.

    No substance? Last I checked they are 46-22, that is hardly no substance.

    As for losing a better team. Not even sure OKC is the better team considering Miami has a small advantage on them record wise while splitting the 2 game season series.

    What's lebron doing after this play? He looks like he's moaning about something towards the bench

    Sure, but if you set a preseason over/under of 55 for the Heat's record, 97% of the nation would leap on the over.

    They're a strong team and a contender, but this season's largely been below expectations, especially their's.

    Starting with their MTV-styled unveiling party, this team has definitely displayed more of a concern with their superfriends image than they have getting down to business.

    You won't get any dispute from me on this quote but if they win a Championship this year than none of their regular season struggles matter.

    Right now I think it's way too early to say they are all style no substance especially considering they could still win the East. It's not like they are struggling to make the playoffs. But yes it has not come as easy as a lot of people thought it would.

    OKC looks very scary and come playoff time they will make some noise. Nice dance and very impressive dunk but the L is what really counts. At least Perkins contested the Dunk.:grin:

    The hate here is pretty bad. Please people find something else to b**** about. The dunk was sick, now get over it.

    Dwayne Wade is an alcoholic.

    At least he goes up strong. Rather than flopping for a call.

    Crazy athleticism there. It's amazing what this guy does at 6'4"

    He also appears as explosive as the day he came into the league which is rare for a guard. Not that he is old but guys like him usually lose a half step in their late 20s and he is 29.
