Apparently Wade almost ended up playing for Rivers in Orlando.  How great would that have been?!

Did you know how good Dwyane Wade was in college?

"You know it's a shame I didn't. Obviously he went to Marquette. I watched him practice. I will tell you a quick story. Dwyane came in to work out with us when I was coaching the Magic and he really shouldn't have. I think we were the 15th pick or the 14th pick. He had no business coming. He just came because of the Marquette connection. We had a workout. We had Keith Bogans and a couple of other guys. He dominated that workout more than I have seen any player dominate a workout to a point where we were scrambling trying to make a trade to get him in the draft and move up. We felt a lot of people didn't know it. We had a deal with the Miami Heat if their guy didn't come up the pick was ours. Well when the pick came to Miami...and Dwyane Wade we thought that we had him because we didn't know that Miami liked him and then they called us right before they were about to pick and they said 'We're sorry. We have our guy.' And they picked Dwyane Wade."

Thanks for the post. My company blocked the article.

Shame on Doc. All it took me was about three minutes of watching Wade to realize he was without any doubt the greatest talent I ever saw at MU. Talentwise and wow factor there is no second place to Wade at MU.

That part was easy. It still amazes me how he just blows by pro players. I thought the athletic ability of the pro starters would be able to shut Wade down instead he just blows by them.

He was awesome again last night except for the dropped pass, but when he's forced to do everything while LeBum takes the night off, can't blame him for one error.

The Heat are really blowing this series....I can't figure out what they are doing, or what Lebron is doing, down the stretch of these games.  He just disappears.
