Jeez thats cold lol I'm not crazy about "Flash" but he's stuck with it. My favourite nick is "The Reign Man".
now now, i like "The Dream" but it probably took like three seconds to come up with...Reign Man just sounds cool.
wow, you were able to detect my hate for Dallas in that comment. you're good. i wrote that b/c it's in the freakin' Dallas newspapers. Dan Patrick even mentioned it. and i have alot against Dallas, cupcake. this isn't a Mavericks website so this may surprise you but so do alot of other folks here. Edit: ok, i read your 2nd post in this thread. i didn't catch the sarcasm till it was too late. my apologies.
Flash, D-Wade, Wade County, One of the 50 MBP according to People's magazine...whatever he goes by these days, I call him "great" and the most enjoyable player to watch in the NBA. I have been pimping this guy since his rookie year, told everyone to forget Melo, because after Lebron this kid was the real prize. His game is so old skool, he's mature beyond his years, he's a good kid and a great teammate above all that and a consummate professional. I think he represents everything that's right and good about the league. He's always been a terrific player, he just needed his '15 minutes' on a big stage like this to showcase himself. He has Kobe's drive for greatness without the self-absorbtion, selfishness, and the generally unlikable/fake persona he has. The only thing he doesn't have is Kobe's range, but even then it's exactly what makes him unique, there simply aren't many superstars in the league today who play the way he does, so his style has become sort of a 'signature' mark for him...and I love watching it; he's creating his own legacy, and not trying to follow/imitate someone else in doing so (yah, that's you Kobe). I cringed last night when they had a "Jordan vs. Wade" comparo, I absolutely hate it when those media idiots do that. Oh, and Qazi, I don't know if you got the memo or not, but Shaq has exclusive nicknaming rights in the NBA, he named everyone that matters, from Duncan to Pierce to Wade...basically anyone that didn't have a nickname coming into the league.
I dont get why people always get pissed off when they get called out for a stupid post. They should know the risks before posting.
Does the Dallas papers really call dwade a drama queen because that is complete BS. Have they seen Dirk play???
I called him T-Mac until I met him and couldn't help but to call him Mr. McGrady and I am probably at least 5 years older than him. Now I am back to T-Mac.
Dirk is the fat lady in the Viking helmet in the Opera Company who comes out and sings a complete dramatic aria: "I have been violated! Someone please help me, I have been violated!"
