Dwyane Wade's at Your Basketball Event, Stuffing Your Kids

topic:

Sports

If you're an NBA superstar, is there any reason to participate in a children's community basketball event if not to show them how much better you are? After all, you're taller, you can jump higher and you're a millionaire. Gotta make sure everyone knows.

Just take it from Miami Heat player Dwyane Wade -- he didn't show up to the World Basketball Festival to play nice and let little kids tell him he's their role model. He's here to brutally block their shots, yell in their faces and score the most points.

Maybe after this, he can call their dads cowards and wipe with their Dwyane Wade fan memorabilia.

Cheap, skewed video. Anyone who's watched Wade at these camps knows the whole story. Wade typically does his gig in good fun and without malice.

Perhaps this video was done without the full context, but I've a feeling it was done to make Wade out to be a bully.

When done in the right contect, these kids will be bragging how they got stuffed by none other than D. Wade."

No wonder journalists take such a beating with contrived stories like this.

And the other 99% of the time he was helping kids learn was conveniently left out of this stupid video. Emmy Blotnick, were you actually serious about what you wrote? You are a clueless, biased reporter if you were not tongue in cheek about this.

Anyone with half a brain and any knowledge of sports knows Wade is just playing with the kids. Its amazing how one idot can write a column about someone who does so much in the Miami area.

Emmy go back to doing what people like you do best, sitting in Starbucks with your friends talking about people you want to be.

I'm sure Dwayne Wade take whirlwind tours of malice that he directs towards children, OR NOT. Do you think the NBA would stand for a player who goes to children's basketball events just to show off and make kids feel bad? The commissioner of the NBA is already a hard-nosed opponent of off the court misconduct, do you honestly think he would stand for a sincere display malice towards children, even by Dwayne Wade?

You are an idiot.

wow dont you have anything better to do than to try and smear a man who does so much for his community. maybe you should try to be a decent human being and not waste all of our time by trying to make someone else look bad.
