i think that dwade is a young guy, but i dont know if it is worth your entire career to MAYBE make the playoffs, at this point take your medicine and get the surgery there is always next season( however I do wish the best of luck to him, he seems like a good guy)
It should be repeated that if the shoulder pops out again it will not do any more damage than he currently has. Surgery is inevitable so the only thing he is risking is the pain that he will endure if it pops out again. It is not career threatening.
Ultimately it is Wade's decision. He sure seems like a determined, assertive guy, but ultimately he can only make his decision based on the facts as presented by his doctors. Even if several of them are othos who only do shoulders they can be wrong. Hope Wade made the right decision. I keep thinking of Bill Walton and GRant Hill who were superstars who had to make the same decision. As an aside, I went to Wade's college for a couple of yrs.
