Top 25 College Bred NBA Players in Modern Draft Era

[28thBrew]

3. Dwyane Wade (Marquette, 2003): Take it from someone who knows: It's a lot of fun to dislike Dwyane Wade. It's not like he makes it difficult. The questionable capri pants and self-imposed nicknames (even LeBron James said "Way of Wade" was corny) would be grating enough, but it's the stuff D-Wade does on the court -- the flopping, flailing, call-baiting, constant appeals to officials -- that is especially difficult to swallow. Wade is way too good to be so cheap. Hate all you want, but in just 10 years the Marquette product has established his legacy as one of the best shooting guards in the history of the game. That was sealed before the Heat's back-to-back titles; it's especially true now.

Just another reason not to be proud of Wade.

I remember when Dwade came into the league and invented all that stuff!  I was like "hey dude, represent Marquette with some class!"  Can't he be more like Kevin Garnett, who never complains about any calls?  Or the Spurs who never flop and have Tim Duncan a star who doesn't have a whine constantly plastered on his face.

I kinda miss the 80's when the superstars got all the calls and if it wasn't your team you just silently lived with the situation.
