I saw that phone commercial with Dwade and Barkley and it got me thinking. Why would Barkley want to be in Dwayne Wade's 5? Sure it's "hot right now, but [Barkley] is a living legend." Wade is a fast burning star and Barkley is a HoF'er, with HoF's in his top 5.

Great question, Wade is a passing fad so they need to stop showing that commercial.

He is not fading at all, Miami just sucks this year so he isn't getting any hype. The same cloud that Elton Brand has been under his entire career, and KG the past few in Minny.

ssshhh, no intelligence allowed here.

Who is Dwayne Wade?

Is he related to NBA star Dwyane Wade?

What a stupid thread. Seriously, can this go anywhere positive, or is it just ANOTHER excuse to kick one of the best the league has to offer while he's down?

if he were as good as thought, his team wouldn't be down this low. It's his job to put the team on his shoulders and carry them - he's not up to the task.

I don't know, maybe because this will be first time in his career his team has a losing record and misses the playoffs? Or maybe because he's a proven champion? Could it be ppl know he's injured? Not sure

so you would make him an all-star THIS year based on what he's done in the PAST? that's like saying vince carter deserves to be an all-star.

if he's truly injured he shouldnt be playing. little sprains and whatnot are common among all professional athletes. i've never heard of a time when wade was injury free.

what a ridiculous thread. I doubt both Wade and Barkley have anyone other than their actual family and real friends in their "5". you're wasting time analyzing a (Please Use More Appropriate Word) commercial.

Nah, he's still averaging 25ppg 4reb 7ast 47FG% 2stls 1blk

....better than any SG in the East, so....

he's coming of 2 surgeries, he's slowly getting back to his old self. He needs to play through it.
