Wade Reflects On A Frustrating Season-Article 

Post#1 » by Chessboxer » Sun Apr 13, 2008 6:35 pm

I don't know if this has been posted yet, but this is article provides some really good insight into how Wade was feeling this season

Looking back, Wade said, he needed to be more of a leader.

"You're trying to do it all. I was trying to prove to myself that I could do it," he said. "Maybe I didn't give my team enough confidence. ...

"For the first time ever, I found myself letting my head get down. I've never had that happen before."


The day after seeing O'Neal's comments, Wade called O'Neal, tactfully telling him that he disapproved.

"I was saddened by it," said Wade, who added that he still speaks frequently with O'Neal. "I just told him, 'Big Fella, what are you doing? There's no need for that. There's a lot of people back in Miami that still have a lot of love for you.'

Cool article.

Wade's definitely playing in the Olympics this summer. Glad to see that he isn't in total rest mode (so he won't be extremely rusty).

That's what happens on South Beach with all the hoochies running around. The weak need not apply.

That was a great article. This has just been a horrible year from him on an off the court but things can really only go up from here. These are the hardships in life which we have to experience in order to build back up to the good things.

Both are getting divorced. Wade has been trying to keep it under raps. Also Wade and his wife are still ok but know its not going good.While Shaq is mad because his girl was taking money. Either way its said for both of those guys.

Too bad. I thought the whole idea behind Wade and his wife being highschool sweethearts was pretty cool. I hate to see kids broken up like that.

Didn't Wade's wife just have another kid?
