Slamadaday: Dwyane Wade on Kendrick Perkins

The cabbage patch was an hommage to the fab 5 and his teammate Juwan Howard. The negativity in this board is ridiculous sometimes.

So you’re a hater if you think you should save the dancing until you’re actually winning? I don’t care if it was in hommage to JC himself…you look like an idiot when your team is down 11 and you’re celebrating one play with a dance. You look even dumber when 20 min later your slapping and kicking the backstop of the hoop because you didn’t get a call. This was supposed to be the season that they played angry, no more nonsense. All that shows me is Dwade cares more about his own accomplishments and looking good more than he does about winning.

@ Diesel – you are looking way to far into a tiny moment during the game. They are players and are human beings like you and I. They have emmotions and occasionally react. I don’t think Dwade did the dance thinking I am down by 9 or whatever it was. He was just celebrating a spectactular play in that moment. The same goes for the “pouting” incident. While he does complain alot, no one would say anything about that if they won. Too many people on here are looking way too far into a 6 second dance after an incredible play. Look at Blake Griffin, he has 2-3 highlights per game and his team nearly always loses. Yet we have a “Blake Griffin Alert” on sportscenter. He often stares down defenders after dunking on them (a different form of emmotion)…Just saying…People look WAY WAY to far into things, especially with the heat….

he should have been tough

@ Diesel – So more or less what your saying is, your OK with an emotional reaction, as long as it is not dancing? Staring is alright (even if you are down)? I can’t name another athelete dancing. But what about behaviors like Garnett barking like a dog, Shaq when he did his “stampede” like stepping down the court after a big dunk, Mutombo waving the finger after a big block, Antoine Walker doing the shimmy after a made three, Ray Allen grinning to the TNT announcers after burying a three against the Heat, Reggie doing the choke sign to Spike Lee, Carmelo laughing after a made jumper or a hard foul from a defendant. When you break all of these down they are all some type of emotional display. The point I am trying to illustrate is each player reacts in different ways. He dunked, it was a dance, I don’t see that big of an issue with it. You can’t say its fine in one instance but not in the other.

i sense the shades of varejao…

YO, IF ANY OF Y’ALL WHO CAN DUNK CAUGHT ONE LIKE THAT ON A DEFENDER LIKE PERK, Y’ALL WOULD BE ACTING ALL CRAZY TOO. STOP HATIN’.
Big dunk, Biiiiiiigg! Comin off the spin! whaaaaam!
About near the end of the dance, look at DWade’s face, he knew he shouldnt be doing that silly sh@t

Absolutely FILTHY

@sizzle – I couldn’t hate a player more than I hate KG and I’ve made fun of him and his antics for a long time. Again – I’m all for a small reaction to recognize the play…but DWade pushed his own players out of the way, ran across the court, and twirled in circles while doing the cabbage patch…that’s a little much at any point. Especially when you’re losing the game. @Eboy – Kobe did the balls thing when hitting a shot to put his team up…not when down double digits. Same for Shaq. I stand by my statement that no other high caliber player would dance like then when losing a game by that much.

Yes, Kobe can be a clown too. But I highly doubt he dances down 11 in the first half. Show me video otherwise, and I’ll gladly apologize.

Who cares if a player is having fun. Really? And why does anything a good player do end up somehow being a Kobe comparison. This sites getting old with the negative dudes on here.

Would be a moot point if the Heat Won. His dancing would have been praised regardless of them being down by Eleven. I still think if Blake did this no one would have a problem with it…

Crazy dunk…just so good. The dance was a bit lame.

Hey Tealish: Tyler Hansbrough would like a word with you.

why does anyone give a rats ass about his dance? i dont think scott brooks was in the timeout thinking, “guys we gotta come up with a better dance because wow d wade was incredible” gtfo here at least talk about how the thunder slapped the heat not some dance. go watch “so you think you can dance” and leave the hoops to the real fans

I love how he shoves Joel out of the way after.

I sometimes wonder if the big 3 are more interested in doing highlight celebration than winning celebration

Pardon my language, but GOD DAMN!!!
