Can we be proud of D. Wade?

[JoBo2756]

Judging by the fact that nobody has posted about D. Wade's awesome night (30 pts, 6 rbds) with still a lot of play, I'm wondering, do MU fans still care about D. Wade killing it in the NBA Finals?

I'm a Bulls fan, 2009 grad (meaning I never saw D. Wade in an MU uni), and I love the fact that Jimmy Butler has played his way onto a really good Bulls Team. I want to Heat to lose because I really hate the collusion/monopoly that the Heat have developed, and because I really want the Bulls to rival the Heat as one of the best teams of the 2010-2019 decade.... (if that makes sense).

D. Wade is a graduate of MU. I should be rooting for the Heat because of that. But I'm not. And I wonder if other MU fans feel the same way???

Does the D. Wade/Lebron/Bosh triumvirate/collusion, disassociate MU fans from their allegiance to D. Wade?

Ray Allen is my current favorite player, have really liked him ever since he was a rookie with the Bucks. Also a big Wade fan for obvious reasons. Despite that, I'm still cheering for the Spurs because I hate everything about the Heat.

[ChicosBailBonds]

He wore IU shorts once and refused to sign with the Bulls....and he loves his former coach.....

























Yes, proud of him.  Hope they win it all for many reasons, including watching heads explode.

He's the best player in the history of our fine institution and he played a massive role in returning us to basketball relevance.

Even those who don't like some of his perceived arrogance have to be grateful for what he did and continues to do for the Marquette basketball.

And I, for one, still like the guy.

A thousand times, this.

I still like him too, but wonder if Lebron has taught him a few bad habits...

He's a good dude, it's just hard to root for him now.

Yes, always yes, he had a great game tonight.  All you Bulls(hit) fans can cry somewhere else.  This is an MU fan site not a loser Bulls site.

[VegasWarrior77]

Homer's proud (as am I).

[denverMU]

A true Warrior!

Just so I'm clear... all fans who dislike Wade, or the Heat, are "Bulls(hit)" fans? Ok. got it.

I did not say that but if you bother to look at the original post you can find the genesis of my post.

No your post was just stupid even after reading the original post three times trying to understand where you're coming from you still come off as a rude and trying to start a fight. 

[keefe]

I am proud to say I share an alma mater with Dwyane Wade.

So what are you trying to do with your post?  Maybe you should read it a fourth or fifth time.  "I'm a Bulls fan..."  "I want the Heat to lose because I really hate the collusion/monopoly that the Heat have developed, and because I REALLY WANT THE BULLS...."  I dislike it when MU fans deride one the best MU players of all time because they fans of a pro team he doesn't play on.

[MUSF]

But wait, how can we be proud of the dirtiest whiner in the NBA?

Plus, according to some scoopers, his career is essentially over unless he wants to be a role player off the bench.

[setyoursightsnorth]

Yes, proud of him.  Hope they win it all for many reasons, including watching heads explode.

Why would they explode if the heat win? They're the favorite...

You provoked the fight mate. Instead of just answering the question he asked, you decided to also trash his very fair and good question by pointing out irrelevant stuff, such as him being a bulls fan.

Now, five minute timeout. Both of you.

Because some fans want nothing more than to see Lebron lose or the Heat to lose.  Haters are going to hate and heads explode when the haters lose.  The  Heat, and Lebron in particular, have a lot of haters.

For good reason too. They make themselves unlikable. They really do deserve the hate they get cause they really are super arrogant. For as good as they think they are you would have thought they went 82-0. I really dislike the Spurs as well but for this one series I hope they whip the Heat the next two games.

We should be proud of D. Wade.  He could have done a Vince Carter and decided to preserve his body, change his game and become a "good" but not "great" player.  Instead, he keeps his same aggressive rim-attack style (when he's healthy) at the expense of his physical health and probably the length of his career. 

I watched Sydney Moncrief's last two years after his knees were gone and it was sad to see what happened to such an incredible athlete after his body gave up.  Let's hope that DW can win one or two more championships as a major contributor and then just hang it up.  Or, if he can somehow find his health again - keep contending for 4 or 5 more years!

[Goose]

He is best player ever to wear MU jersey and will always pull for him. From first time I saw him in person I respected his athletic ability and work ethic. Aside from normal gripes, due to knowing too much about everything because of internet, I hope he knocks out of the park everyday.

[Hards Alumni]

What a stupid thread.  If you don't root for Wade, get out of here.

[damuts222]

  I root for Wade, haven't like his play last couple of years, but last night he looked healthy and looked like the flash of old.  As a Bulls fan I don't root against Wade.  I think a lot of people in Chicago's dislike for the Heat is warranted on multiple fronts. 

Miami has been the team to beat in the East the last couple years and Chicago has not gotten past them.  I feel that the constant comparisons of Lebron to MJ is the major one.  People in Chicago have learned to hate LBJ due to the comparisons which many feel are unwarranted ...at this time.

Right about the hate, and the hate for Wade IMO has no justification. His whining has been minimal--less than many others, and he is obviously playing with injury.

Lots of dislike here. Must be a Bucks fan.
