It's just showing sooner then we thought it would.

Wade is going to be a less athletic player as he ages and redevelop his game like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant did.

.
MJ and Kobe had the size at the 2 gaurd position to shoot over opponents, even without their prime bounce..Dwayne Wade's career is starting a nose-dive decent in his early 30's (see Iverson)

Wade is far from done.... He's due for a game to shut ppl up soon. Author seems butt hurt.

With that said, I don't want to watch Danny Granger in the ECF, or Iggy for that matter. Stop slackin Wade.

Wasn't overly impressed with the article but it was an interesting point.

Wade seems to have had an attitude change. His reaction after G3 seemed out of character any season of his career except this year. His social media usage has certainly had some questionable comments from him.

As for his play?

He's a quality player. However, Wade, needs the ball in his hands like 70% of the game to be on top of his game, LeBron needs the ball in his hands quite a bit as well as it turns out. It has seemed to have effected Wade that little bit more in that he doesn't seem to get going as well, like LeBron just seems a bit luke warm at the end of games.

When your a top 3 player in the NBA, and one of the other two top 3 players in the NBA joins your team, your always going to appear "different". Last year any changes were struck off for it being a learning experience, this year people expected results or both players to return to their "master days" - which while they are both on the team won't happen.

To echo Nolimit in one sense, either one can just take over a game and be the "xxx show" for a night quite easily, however, there is that struggle to who it is, since you need to get going early and take command, and generally even if Wade is hot, Lebron is going to try and get his as well.

I respect wade, but he's doing a lot to ruin his rep with me, to bad. If his body really is slowing down, I hope he can transition his game, so he can continue being one of the best.

How refreshing it would be if indy philly okc & san antonio were the final four teams this year? To see miami's dream die in the second round would make me feel warm inside.

I think LeBron is rubbing off on Wade. I think that's where the new D-Wade attitude comes from.
