Wade drove to the hole the entire time and got legit calls 99% of the time. There are maybe two to three calls the entire series for Wade that were questionable. If TMAC were not so soft and went to the hole, shot mid range jumpers off the drive and jumped into players he'd get the same exact calls. The problem is most other guards and swings do not drive nearly as much as Wade nor do they have a shot selection as good as Wade's (ie. mid range, layups, dunks).

Hence, you get a lot of players that want to shoot loads of jumpers and fades then cry about not getting to the line as much as a player that drives almost exclusively.

I am very sure this interview is quite old. I think we had a thread about it back then. This was before the whole Donaghy stuff.

I don't think it was rigged. Wade drove hard every chance he had. When he gets fouled he reacts like AI in that he flails and falls to the ground enticing the whistle. Wade manipulated the system to win his team an NBA title. If there is something wrong with that system...then another story.

^I hate the Mavs but damn, thats some horrible officiating...


I did say there were some bad calls. There are bad calls in every game though. Most of the foul calls were legit imo. It is easy to go back and watch plays in slo mo after the fact and cry about them. In reality, when a player drives an entire series he will get a lot of calls. The problem is most 2's and 3's would rather jack 3's and deep jumpers while fading then cry about not getting to the line.

D-Wade flopped on most of the calls that's why they got the fouls cause the refs were stupid to not have known what was going on. Don't think it was rigged by the refs though, just Wade flopping.

This is a big deal when a star player comes out to say this.
