Wade's part of the reason there's a lockout. The owners want the power back.

Stern pointed at DWade, which DWade took as sign of disrespect. That triggered his outburst on the commish, sources said.

Star players - LeBron, CP3, PPierce, Baron Davis, Melo, - were ready to leave meeting but Stern asked for private talk w/Billy Hunter....

Hunter then calmed stars down and got them to return to meeting. Players' resolve stunned owners, sources said.

Owners are fukked.

Today was 2nd day of Rosh Hashanah. David Stern didn't go to synogogue?

and there goes Wade's preferential ref treatment

Yelling at your boss is always a good way to get your point across. :hammerhead:

[Sarcastic]

Stern's not his boss. He doesn't sign his checks.

[SpecialQue]

Cheeky bastard.

[Rake2204]

If Dwyane Wade plays a key role in curing this work stoppage, I will dislike him less.

[MeLO MvP 15]

Stern's not his boss. He doesn't sign his checks.
No but Stern represents his boss and also holds all the power once there is an agreement.

[Sarcastic]

No but Stern represents his boss and also holds all the power once there is an agreement.

Wade's boss writes Stern's check.

[MeLO MvP 15]

Wade's boss writes Stern's check.
That may be true but Stern still has much more power than Wade. But you are right that that technically both are employees of Arison.

[sixer6ad]

My guess is that Wade thought Stern was an NBA official...didn't like the call...and yelled.

Watched it for awhile now.

"You called what? Do you know who I am?"

There's absolutely nothing Stern can do to Wade. He can't fine nor suspend him without cause.

[CLE[216]]

Roid rage.:lol

Maybe he'll tell the refs to stop babying that ni99a once they start playing again.

His boss or not, yelling won't do him any good. Or the players.

[RazorBaLade]

Well you know, you gotta protect your nuts

[bdreason]

Probably addressing the issue of superstars choosing to team up in free agency. You know there were plenty of unhappy teams when LeBron, Wade, and Bosh ended up on the same team.

[SIRI1]

MickyArison A friendly chat lol RT @Sportsfan3293: @MickyArison what happened between Wade and Stern? media tends to blow things up. #Iwantrealstory

[Noof]

A source told NBA.com's David Aldridge that at one point, NBA commissioner David Stern was emphatically directing a comment -- and pointing his finger -- at Wade, the Miami Heat's All-Star guard. Wade objected and interrupted Stern, reportedly saying: "Don't point your finger at me. I'm a grown man. I have children."

I can't take credit for it but I still find it hilarious:

"I heard leBron got so mad he was about to yell at Stern too but then he just ended up letting Mario Chalmers do it instead"

Looks like Wade won't be getting all of those phantom calls next season.

Good news.

You think I wasn't mad when the Kings got ****ed over in 02? Nice one, Captain Butthurt.

Still, Kobe has gotten WAY less phantom calls than Wade in recent years.

Wade attacks the basket way more than Kobe

[RRR3]

Are you kidding? Kobe got 7.6 free throw attempts per 36 last year, Wade got 8.3. Then consider that Wade primarily drives to the basket to score and Kobe takes almost nothing but jumpshots :facepalm There's a reason Wade gets more FT's, and yet Kobe has always gotten a lot even in years where he was primarily a jumpshooter. Ridiculous. He also gets away with a lot on defense

[Heavincent]

And RRR3, you're always talking about Kobe. I didn't even mention him and you felt the need to bring him up. Kobe this, Kobe that :blah :blah :blah

Shit, I know he's one of the greatest players of all time, but you don't need to talk about him 24/7. It's kind of weird.

LOL :rolleyes:. You bring him up plenty, first of all, and you bring up LeBron and Wade a very high percentage of the time for someone who hates them...

I think Kobe drives to the basket more than you think then. Yeah, Wade drives more, but that doesn't mean he doesn't get more BS calls in his favor.

Some advice: You should actually watch the game instead of just using stats.

And lol at acting like Kobe is just a guy that sits back and takes jumpshots the entire game.

That's the way Kobe plays most of the time these days. He can't drive like he used to. Sure, he used to be great at driving to the hoop, but those days are in the past. Sorry. And I've watched Kobe and Wade a decent amount FYI.

[Sarcastic]

So now this thread is about Kobe vs Lebron vs Wade? :facepalm

Kobe averages only 3 shots at rim Wade averages 7. Even back in 06 and 07 Kobe didn't get to the rim as much as Wade but he got the same amount of free throws Kobe averaged 10.2 free throws Wade averaged 10.7. In the 08 playoffs Kobe averaged 9.2 free throws in 09 he got 8.6 and 2010 he got 8 Wade in the playoffs this year averaged 8.5. How about against Boston last year in the playoffs Kobe 8.6 Wade just 8.

This isn't my argument but....

...I think it's you who needs to watch more games. Kobe has become primarily a jumpshooter. He used to attack the rim more when he was younger. Go look at his high scoring games. All jumpshots or clear paths to the basket. It's an absolute fact that Wade attacks the rim and finishes more than Kobe does. One has iffy knees and the other does not. One can make those jumpers and the other can not. Simple as that.

Stern will just pull some strings and bust jaws for steroidsAs a fellow Yid who has beaten his own yetzer hora and especially his own vindictiveness......

Stern is still very much the type to not have even attempted beating either. He may very well in all actuality be the catalyst that begins the D-Wade LeBron steroid train thru a proxy, despite it being against the league and games' short term health and appeal.

[swi7ch]

There's absolutely nothing Stern can do to Wade.

stern controls the refs and refs control the games
