Slamadaday: Dwyane Wade on Emeka Okafor

We’re not quite sure if this is Dwyane Wade’s MVP season, but we sure do know what Emeka Okafor is good for: Posters.

    No CP3 love Eboy?

    Tim Duncan for real. They say he’s losing athleticism, but his game is aging gracefully. He’s the blueprint for franchise players respectfully dominating and getting wins.

  • http://www.ballislife.com Justin Walsh

    Slick: His game is based off of near perfect fundamentals so when he ages losing athleticism, it doesn’t affect him as much

  • Slick Nick Da Ruler

    Exactly my point, Robot is still effective, dependable, and reliable. Im scared thinking about Amare & Dwight’s game when the hops disappear.

  • Slick Nick Da Ruler

    Also, Eboy maintains that D Wade is the MVP candidate right now, and its hard to argue against. With LA being so strong, have we seen Kobe’s best? If so, can his game mature to Duncan’s level? I dont think so, because Kobe has the insufferable ego needed to being an MVP/HOF caliber player, and the same ego will not let him relinquish the spotlight to another capable player.

    “wade has to put up those numbers being on a sh*tty team” if he wasnt great then he wouldnt even put up those numbers at all….

  • http://www.ballislife.com Justin Walsh

    riggs, I’m not denying his greatness. I’m merely stating Kobe and BronBron have a higher greatness.

    I agree with Ryne on the MVP voting…but I was on record saying that D-Wade was back this summer better than ever

  • http://chugachugachugachuchu.blogspot.com/ BETCATS

    it was nice. But lets keep this ‘fair and balanced’ like Fox ‘News’. Okafor had a MONSTER rejection on Beasley, sent the ball half way across the court

  • ti-sizz

    i think the announcer just means he’s the best player in the NBA according to his stats at this moment.. they are pretty impressive right? especially with the blocks from his position, the great fg% and the assists. i do think lebron is better at dominating and putting a game away, and kobe perhaps. but right now, wade’s the only one needing to do that, and should be recognized as the best player at this moment (his team has gone 5-1 since he picked up the scoring)

  • http://chugachugachugachuchu.blogspot.com/ BETCATS

    and Okafor had 10 strait points in the 3rd, yet Raymond Felton and DJ froze him out in the 4th so they could shoot and miss as many 3s as possible. He could have had another great game, but 19 and 12 aint too bad.

    HAHA @ BELoser.

  • http://www.ballislife.com Justin Walsh

    ti sizz, also look at who the heat have played in the last 6 games of the 5-1 wade scoring streak. And if we bring up his offensive stats into why the announcer can say hes the best in the game period i just say hes 2nd in the NBA in TURNOVERS with 4 per game and he loses that lines legitimacy. He also ranks #1 in total turnovers. His last 6 games include the clippers, the bobcats, the thunder, the warriors and phoenix. one really solid team in the jazz. So yeah the announcer is still off to me

  • http://chugachugachugachuchu.blogspot.com/ BETCATS

    Haha@ the heat only being able to beat the Cats when our best player isnt their. El Oh El

  • http://double-technical.blogspot.com Zee!

    If the Heat make the playoffs, then Wade getting the MVP has to be a foregone conclusion. I’m sure we all agree on that. But if they don’t and Wade is still putting up stat line like he is now, it’ll be all for naught. Sucks how those things work out sometimes. Ask Kobe.

  • http://chugachugachugachuchu.blogspot.com/ BETCATS

    And Micheal Beasly: How does Emeka’s a$$ taste?

  • http://www.ballislife.com Justin Walsh

    ah, BETcats, you are sunshine on a cloudy day.

  • http://double-technical.blogspot.com Zee!

    And Kobe and Bron should be ranked 1 and 2 respectively. Alternating the spots randomly.

  • http://www.ballislife.com Justin Walsh

    and ZEE i dont think it’s a forgone conclusion, I am a staunch Bron detractor but LBJ will win the MVP barring some crazy injury. Most people have conceded that in my view. Also, BOSH is playing bonkers as is Kobe, so the MVP is not a Wade trophy case addition yet.

  • http://www.shawn-kemps-offspring.blogspot.com Eboy

    Uhm, I think Beasley’s rejected shot was the only positive thing Okafor did on defense last night…..because he’s garbage.

  • Tyrone Shoelaces

    I think dude over at the NBA Video described this dunk best, “my grandmama gave me that chain!” hahah

    where are all the “OMG he’s travelling!” comments?
    y’all don’t seem to have a problem posting them when LeBron takes 2 steps.

  • http://www.ballislife.com Justin Walsh

    Anton, Wade is already called out for carrying the ball in that slash move he does by every commenter in SLAM. Also NBA coaches are talking about it as well. It’s been spoken for. No coaches admit LeBron travels, they just pretend it doesn’t happen. That’s why. I’d just sit back and enjoy the DUUUNK

  • ciolkstar

    “Whats an Okafor?” was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw that dunk. Well, right after “Holy Sh*t!” Dwade is doing his damn thing this season.

  • ciolkstar

    I think “Bron, Wade, Kobe”, in that order, is pretty accurate as the top 3 guys in the league. Although, I might be placing Dwight Howard or bosh ahead of Kobe by year’s end.

  • ciolkstar

    Wow. I completely forgot about CP3. Kobe really is like 4th now. Love it.

    Get out of the way!!!

    I H0PE N0 1 SAID THIS
    WATS AN 0KAF0R ?
    F0R DUNKING 0N SILLY

  • witness

    remember when delfino posterized him? that was sad.

  • http://hibachi20.blogspot.com/ Moose

    If he had a good, winning team, this would be his MVP season. LeBron is tough to get by, and I’m not saying he would. But right now he’s averaging 29.5, 7.5 and 5. With 2.3 steals and 1.7 blocks to boot. Dude is BACK.

  • http://walkinupstairs.blogspot.com/ el

    bad fundamentals,
    should’ve used his left

  • http://thesportsdiaryonline.blogspot.com Roy

    Damn! That was sick dunk by D-Wade!!! Really awesome!!! :D

    Damn! That was a sick dunk by D-Wade!!! Really awesome!!! :D

  • aotearaw

    Dunk was naaaaassty, D-Wade is the best player to watch in the NBA right now IMO…and I love having him on my fantasy squad ;-)

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    Great poster.

  • http://www.bbaxn.com Darksaber

    Walk? granted, he carries the ball a lot, and like a lot of guys in the league, he tends to take an extra step once in a while. BUT NOT ON THIS DUNK. 1-2, BOOM! (and during the olympics, where the cameras where slightly closer than most nba games, i was highly impressed with Flash’s ability to NOT travel. watch him in those)

  • jose

    “best player in the nba just dunked on okafor” awesome. truly awesome

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=627550406 KA

    he carried that s**t!

  • lance

    wow emeka’s getting dunked on by everyone.. who’s next? chris duhon?

  • Costa

    Let me just mention this if Wade keeps this up for the season and the Heat make the playoffs i believe there is no doubt in my mind he should be MVP. I believe he should keep this intensity for the rest of the season as it progresses. First ofall coming from the worst record to an above .500 team makes a strong case. Lebron with similar stats last n this year but role players are stepping up. Lakers got phil Jackson as a Coach and a great team around Kobe. Heat got a rookie coach put that together, WADE SHOULD BE MVP OF THE SEASON! Oh, and for all of you guys stating the Heat suck… Watch some games before you make yourselves sound ignorant.

  • nastierthanyou

    Very Jordan esq splitting the double team and causing trouble at the rim. Well done
