He is one of the most over-rated. Dude is still living off 2006..

Both he and LeBron are extremely defensive in the post game media session when the Heat lose. It's like they can't take or accept criticism when they don't win. When a reporter asked Wade a question last night and he went into his "I'm a winner" monologue, it bordered on a kid getting ready to throw a tantrum. He seemed to get so upset that someone would question his play.

Maybe I'm remembering history wrong, but it seemed like only recently that he's become such a pouty faced got. He used to be one of my favorite players but the expressions on his face during games now piss me off more than anything Lebron has done. He looks like he's ready to cry half the time.

[Bill_Brasky]

Westbrook is a way bigger got.

[SamoanTD]

Dwade is a overrated s bag hes not even top 10 tbh.

I think his transition has happened more this season. Last year was still a honeymoon period, and LeBron said a lot of the right things about how the Heat is still "Dwyane's team." This year it became all too evident that not only was LeBron clearly the better player and significantly so over Wade, but that the Heat had actually started to become LeBron's team, not Wade's. Wade has tried to be diplomatic about it. I remember his quote a little while back suggesting that he has taken a step back in order to let LeBron be "the man." He's acknowledged it, at least publicly. But I don't think he likes it. I don't think Wade likes knowing he's the second banana.

And this is just my personal opinion, but I think there's a part of Wade that almost wants the Heat not to succeed with LeBron as the leader and star of the team. It's like he enjoys being the guy who led a team to a championship while LeBron has continually failed. Not that he doesn't want to win a le at all, but just "part of him" wouldn't mind it. What people have often talked about with Wade and his reckless approach to the game in terms of throwing his body around catching up to him seems to affected him this season. He still has moments, even games where he's still that superstar capable of putting up huge performances. But I think his athletic decline has started to begin and perhaps sooner than even his biggest critics thought it would.

Very true, in fact this is really the only year I've even heard so much as even a peep out of Wade. Rarely does he ever complain and the guy was the only scorer on the Heat once upon a time.

That's how I feel. I didn't notice him doing that in the past few post-seasons a ton, but it seems he does that on every play he doesn't get touched now. I've seen at least four times in these playoffs where he wasn't touched and he throws up his hands like a sissy afterwards.

[UZER]

Somewhere down the line Wade became someone with an over-the-top "en led" at ude. His smug facial expressions and slow pimp walk have just gone over the top....case and point:



This guy lays on the ground forever when he doesn't get a call, but miraculously can get up really quick after every and-1 call.

No you're right unfortunately...

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Even since the eye patch foul of last year the guy's been a walking joke to me.

He and Lebron clearly convinced themselves that when they teamed up it was going to be a cake-walk to multiple rings.. This has been far harder than they ever imagined. Frustration is showing..

[nowhereman523]

broke a guy's nose in an exhibition game cheapshot because he didn't get a call. total POS.

That's another thing to point out... Wade seems to be on the good end of a few injuries. Rondo's dislocated arm, Kobe's broken nose... I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting.

Oh, and a certain non-called foul in Game 2...

and this is exactly why those gots will never ring together in my opinion...With Kobe and Shaq you had the most dominant in Shaq and you had the best player in Kobe..but Kobe didn't lay down for that he took the (team lead) away from Shaq and as a result it's

Kobe 2
Shaq 1


Kobe didn't give a that everyone thought Shaq was better he challnged that every step of the way and in the end carved out his own legacy as the 2nd greatest 2 guard to ever play the game...(until he rings 7)

Kobe's legacy is not because of Shaq but in spite of Shaq...Imagine if MJ had to share the ball with a ball dominant Big Man like Shaq would have have the balls like Kobe did to just take that from Shaq...

Lebron and Wade are some clowns..they wanna dance and be all buddy buddy..them s don't have the killa mentality like a prime Kobe..and it's why they won't ring together imo....my Kobe was a cold blooded assassin...now he's just a mercenary for hire because of that father time...

I have little to no respect for Wade. He's a flopper, a dirty player and isn't without the refs.

[FkLA]

For real. Dude had one amazing two-week stretch of play six years ago (which was partially fueled by some of the most biased officiating ever witnessed), and has been labelled a superstar ever since.

He is one of the most over-rated. Dude is still living off 2006..

This is just stupid. Wade was easily the best SG in the league for the past couple of years once Kobe started declining, Wade still is the best SG in the game even though he himself looks to be on the decline. Not completely sure if hes playing hurt or if hes reaching TOSB territory.

I think this little act came about once the Heatles were formed too. He was one of my favorite players as well when he was all Miami had and they were mediocre 1st round fodder.

This epitomizes Wades career somewhat, gets a ticky tack foul, over exaggerates the contact then makes out he is the ing man.

still living in 2006
all he can do is block shots
his face after a call against him

[lefty]

Magic Johnson was quite a goty whiner


A lot of times after being cleanly reejected/stripped while going to the rim, he would stand there, looking at the referee, not running back on D, and letting his team defend 4 vs 5.
