wade is a d-bag
inb4representingyourcountryshouldbeenough
Wade is retarded. Olympics = Endorsements = $$$ = Bitches.
Simple math.
Wades such a scumbag piece of shit inside
Wade: Ahh Crap, that just slipped out of my mouth. What should I do now LeBron?
LeBron: Dude, you're not making my situation any better with that comment.
why not? Somebody is making money of their games why shouldn't the players get a piece of the pie?
Why are they less entitled to revenue than the company that televises their games? Or the company that sells olympic jerseys?
Wade is a moron.
he needs to be humbled...

if you don't like it don't sign up nobody is forcing you to play for your nation

Exactly. It's an invitation. Not a job opportunity.
I want Jordan , Bird and Magic to come on various tv and radio shows and declare that this would not happen with the Dream team so we can have some good old fashioned generation flame war.:roll:

if you were an accountant would you do accounting for America pro-bono?
**** NO! this is their job. Basketball and training is hard work.
No olympic athlete gets paid for their participation. Why should NBA players be any different?
The olympics are about representing your country, not about getting paid because it's a burden of your time. If he doesn't want to do it, he can find something else to do with his summers.

It's not a job. It's f[FONT="Verdana"]u[/FONT]cking invitation. Volunteering. Yada yada.
Wade is getting the backlash when he was just [size=8]AGREEING with Ray Allen who brought it up first[/size]
Christ you people cant read.
And i dont see why its wrong to say that. Obviously the Mens national basketball team for USA is the top drawing attraction of the olympics. The revenue stream cant be hogged entirely by the USA Basketball.
