Part of me wants to reply angrily, but I wont lie, I busted out laughing.

D Wade WAS overrated after his finals performance. people were just amazed by what he did in his crazy performance. I still have an issue of dime that came outafter the 06 finals with a list of the best players, and d wade got number one. Had it came out around August or so, i know the list would have lookeddifferent. By the time the 06-07 season came though, people were back down to earth and he was no longer overrated.

But i'm still amazed at how people rip on him. The dude got INJURED!!! That's not something that he can control. Not everyone is built tough anddurably like you NTers. People get hurt! Wade is nice. He has crazy athleticism, knows how to use the refs to his advantage (part of being a star), he alwaysgoes for the and 1, has a pretty good mid-range and can create his own shot. All he's missing is the 3-point shot.

people forget too quickly of what a healthy wade who was still getting better was able to do.

thank you.

i don't understand how someone who averaged 28PPG healthy is overrated. people just bash him now because he's injured and his team isn't doingwell.

i encourage you guys to actually attempt to watch a Heat game this year. i know its unbearable, but just watch for a couple seconds. D-Wade looks SO slow outthere, he has no explosiveness or first step left at ALL. he hasn't fully recovered from his knee surgery yet, and thats obvious. when he tries to slashthrough like he used to do, hes mad slow and gets stripped or can't get to the basket fast enough.

if he gets enough rest in the offseason, he should be back to full form next year.
