    Wade: "Opposing teams can thank us now"
    When did Wade become such a tough guy? This is becoming a joke with these 3. I hope they fail miserably.

    At one point, I really liked Dwyane Wade. It was when he was one of the hardest playing, hardest working players in the league. He always brought it every night, was incredibly talented and carried sub-par teams to higher levels.

    Well, I guess nothing has changed with him in that regard. I guess the reason I don't really care for him now is because he won't stop opening his mouth.

    To the Miami Herald, he said: "I understand people are going to say stuff. And we accept it with open arms,'' Wade said. "And even on the road, because every place is going to sell out when we come to town. So [opposing teams] can thank us now .''

    Oh puh-lease. Give me a break. Look, everyone knows the Heat are the talk of the league. Heck, they're the talk of sports. While Wade's statement isn't untrue in the slightest, the arrogance is becoming so thick you'd need a lightsaber to slice through it.

    It's one thing to be good. It's another thing to be good and tell everyone about it. The Heat are going to be quite a draw. They're going to win games. They're going to be talked about constantly. But let other people do the talking, Dwyane. The whoie world already doesn't like your team and unless that's the angle you're going for, these type of comments sure aren't helping things.

    I think what's more interesting is how everybody reacts to every little thing these guys do. And being hated is not a bad thing in terms of sports teams. The most hated teams tend to be really good. (USC football, Duke basketball, Lakers, Yankees, Florida Football, Patriots, and the list could go on and on) Only time will tell with this bunch..

      i hope they win it

      the NBA needs a "heel" team, to use wrestling terms, just like how brock lesnar is loved as a heel in UFC

      i love the confidence, and dont get why people bash them for being so arrogant...NBA players arent angels
      wade has earned that right to be a d-bag, hes a finals MVP and a top 3 player in the league

        ^^When did Florida football become hated?

        I think Wade, Lebronedict and Bosh are just showing their true colors. All 3 are arrogant pricks who think their shit don't stink. They are now all over confident that they will blow by everyone in the league and that people will bow to their brilliance. I'm just glad games are won on the court and I can only hope they utter fail.

          Lebronedict has been saying that they are the John (or James) Dillenger gang in his tweets. As if they are the bad men?? Maybe he just doesn't know history.

            Wade and Bosh couldn't even sell out their own stadiums, much less opposing stadiums. LeBron on the other hand sold out pretty much every game everywhere. I've been to a Cavs game in Milwaukee (when they still sucked) and a Heat game in Indy, and the stadium in Indy was pretty empty while the Bucks game was packed.

              Cleveland Plain Dealer's beat writer Bill Livingston in today's article "Can Heat's quitters quit quitting now?" wrote: Quitters never win, and winners never quit. Every coach told you that. Every coach was wrong. Today the NBA has a "super" team that is molded out of quitters, although it is hard to see what's so super about that... James departed Cleveland on a tsunami of self-delusion and megalomania...

                        i can see why someone would say that

                        i just think this is all good for the game in some ways...brings attention to a business that had "$400MM in losses last year" according to Stern

                        i guess i will just have to disagree with the consensus....all our athletes cant be as humble as GSP/Brees/Nash etc

                          Yea, like the Jew lost one cent of that 400 Million. Give me a break, it's the economy and every business took a loss last year. Mr. Stern is doing just fine. Especially with his new Global showcase, the Miami Heat, who Wade says other teams should thank them. Yea maybe teams like Timberwolves or the Nets. But diehard fans in Boston, Chicago, LA, can give one **** about watching this trio, we will sell out regardless, not because of them. READ THIS ARTICLE:

                            Everyone in the NBA is making plenty of money. Their losses are offset with their tax filings. They still get paid.

                                            Out of all three of the new three in Miami, Wade has the worst attitude. Being a hard worker and playing hard is great but I get the feeling that he thinks he was better then his teammates. While I agree he is a better player then his teammates he had a terrible attitude towards them and killed team chemistry. But that is just how I feel.

                                                  Wade is probably right though, Lebron vs home team practically sold out across the league, I am sure it will be that way with the Heat on the road this year

                                                          i dont get it?

                                                          why would you criticize someone for saying something that is 100% true. The majority of nba teams need money and wade is correct, when they come to town, people are going to buy tickets.
