Conclusion: If you drive to the basket you will get calls no matter what evident from the amount of FT attempts in MJ's early career vs. his late.

 

[eaglebball1499]

Yes MJ got calls. But noone has EVER gotten as many calls as Wade gets.
Are you serious?

You must be pretty young and didn't see much of Mike, particularly just before the first retirement and the second. For instance, if you remember his last regular season game ever as a bull, which fittingly came against the Knicks, he dropped 44. Shooting 24 free throws. So lets not get started down that road.

This event's really just a microcosm of the scrutiny Wade gets around here. Wade literally did NOTHING (hence the hilarity of it); didn't flop,didn't travel, didn't get a weak reach. Completely the scorekeeper's simple mistake, not even something the refs (who along with Stern should bethe real targets of the complaining for those that feel so slighted) did wrong. Just probably some old wrinkly dude who forgot to take his ginseng pills andhad a brain fart, yet many of ya'll take it and run as an indictment of Wade.

I know it's not Wade's fault, but it's still funny. If this would have been anyone else in the league, it would have been a non story.

Some of you may be wondering about the purpose of the "search tags" field in your post editor.

As you can see, at the top of each forum you'll find a list of search tags. Clicking one will produce a list of every post bearing the tag you've selected. It's VERY important, therefore, that search tags be used responsibly and appropriately. Otherwise, that section will be nothing but a worthless jumble of random words.

Here's a quick list of search tag do's and don'ts:

DO: Use search tags if your post falls under a broad category. If your post is about beloved NikeTalk personality Dirtylicious, for example, just add the word 'Dirtylicious' in the search tags box. Whenever someone wants to read posts about 'Dirtylicious,' they can easily find these posts with a single click. It's very convenient if used properly.
DON'T: Use random search tags as a joke. Let's say you're in the sports forum and you're making a post about Kobe Bryant. (It's happened once or twice.) Let's pretend, for the sake of illustration, that you're a pathetic man-child whose entire sense of self-esteem is derived from the achievements of a sports team whose success he has absolutely nothing to do with and you're SO obsessed with sports that you sincerely HATE people whom you've never even met primarily as a result of their team affiliation. So, you're posting about Kobe Bryant and you think it would be HILARIOUS to add the search tag "rapist" to your post. That will get you banned.

Why? Well, for starters it's already old - and nobody's even tried it yet. It's not funny. It's not innovative or original. It's annoying, and it ruins the search tag function for everyone.

If we see "rapist" in the sports forum search tag list, the FIRST thing we're going to do is click that tag and ban everyone who's used it. Don't test us on this. The same is true for using "colorblind" in every post about Jordan Retros or Gentry Humphrey.



DO: Use search tags in our buy/sell forums whenever possible. Use the brand name, use the model name, and add the size(s) available in the search tag feature.

DON'T: Break search tags up into multiple words. If you're posting in the buy/sell forum and you type "size 10" in the search tag area, that will produce TWO tags: "size" and "10". If EVERY buy/sell thread uses the search tag "size," that tag is useless. "10" is the only tag you need.



DO: Use standardized search tags whenever possible. Don't reinvent the wheel. If an existing search tag fits your post, use that. Don't create a redundant search tag simply because you prefer the wording. We don't need 40 different search tags about the same subject. If your post deals with Air Force 1s, just use something simply like "AF1." Don't use "uptowns," "air" "force" "1s" (it'll be broken up, remember), etc.
DON'T: Use search tags that could mean something else. Be specific. If you're making a post to ask about the Nintendo DS you plan to buy your nephew for the holidays, don't use the tag "DS" by itself - that'll get mixed up with posts about DS sneakers.


Search tags can be a TREMENDOUS asset to this forum - or they can be completely worthless. It's up to you.

actually MJ rarely average over 9 free throws a game. only 3 times he averaged more than that. his career avg is 8 fta per game which is not out of theordinary. wade is now averaging 9.2 for his CAREER. if it wasn't for the injury, he would be avg 11+ and he might retire averaging shaq-like free throwattempts for a guard

 

[eaglebball1499]

^^^
I hear you nyk buck, but you also have to remember that MJ played in an era where you could body guys up, hand check, etc (remember those old 72-70 Heat-Knicksgames?). There were much fewer fouls called generally, meaning much fewer FT's taken generally. I can assure you that if Mike were playing in today'sNBA, where defensive 3 seconds, lack of hand checking, no-charge areas, and other measures taken to artificially inflate scoring, he'd definitely be takingmore than 8 FT's per game.

Why are you comparing Wade to Jordan?

Can someone post that youtube video of Heat v. Lakers where Kobe was getting shafted so bad it wasn't even funny.

the good ole' days.

[jumpmantwenty3]

pure comedy at pointing out a phantom call and in the process getting one on NT

that cant be directed at anybody personally.... can it?

This Kobe video?

 

[goukiteg]

 

[akajae]

that video is disgusting

@ D. Whistle.

at the salty dudes in this thread

 

[bullsrepeat3peat]

at the NT hate for Wade...

 

[datznasty]

It's funny, even many Heat fans on other boards laughed. As far as hating Wade, I don't really hate him that much. Yall are putting too much into it ifyou think I'm fuming mad all during the day about it or it really affects me at all.

I've somewhat given up being mad at Harris, Wade, Bell, CMaggs, and all of them. They are only taking advantage of the bastardization of the game Stern hasput into place. It's not really basketball to me and total irony that on the highest level of basketball, they play the softest and have all these rules inplace designed to help them because Stern wants to artificially inflate scoring and force someone into the next MJ spot.

I just laugh at so many of the flops these refs buy though because most of the time, they don't make any sense. Like how are you going to go up for ajumpshot, land, THEN fall? Here's an example. Tony probably did touch Bron's leg, and if so the danger of the play is flipping his legs from under himand Bronlanding on back or side or something. But that didn't happen, Bron landed on his feet, he won, he beat the foul, he landed on his feet! So now whywould he fall after?

 

[knightngale]

Disgusting.

 

[chikickz]

DatZNasty: This is why the hate isn't on the refs or the NBA. The hate is on the players that are trying to sell contact. Dwayne Wade still doesn'tknow how to land after elevating. This Lebron video is a good example of using the fall the sell NO CONTACT AT ALL.

When it comes to Wade, taking his numbers into account, you are left asking one simple question. Is Dwayne Wade the best player in NBA history at getting tothe free throw line? Better than Jordan? Better than Iverson? Better than Oscar Robertson? Better than Bird and Magic? Right now, the numbers say YES.

 

[ballinboykz]

Those videos are disgusting...

The first one however isnt that horribly bad. Sure, there were a few missed calls, but that life.

The heat lakers game tho,

Not good at all.

switching from the 2nd person ("you") to the 3rd ("he").. should have picked one and stuck with it.
