Dwayne Wade compares playing for the Heat with slavery.

[BigBoss]

"Here i'am on Independence Day sitting amongst the ruins of a slave hospital in the south and just reflecting on how life was for my ancestors and it makes me ashamed to complain about anything that's happened in my life today.. There was no opting in or opting out of slavery. Puts my life and all our lives into perceptive... #Freedom #Liveyourlife"

So before this he had no perspective and was complaining on how playing for the Heat felt like slavery. He's free.

[no pun intended]

"We enjoy the bullseye. Plus, there's going to be times when we lose 2-3 games in a row, and it seems like the world has crashed down. You all are going to make it seem like the World Trade is coming down again, but it's not going to be nothing but a couple basketball games."

He doesn't really think things through .

We're human and a lot of people do things like this. We take things for granted. All Wade is saying is that he's been lost in all that. He's been lost in the money, the celebrity-ism, the lights, and when it comes down to it this world has came a long way and still has a long way to go.

In a nutshell, we complain about the most petty things sometimes when things could be so much worse.

It's funny that you think this is thread worthy.

didnt know getting carried for championships, and enjoying in that success is slavery

Didnt know that getting paid millions to miss half a season, and free courtside tickets is slavery

[keep-itreal]

Slaves get paid millions?

Slaves get paid millions?

This must be a weak era.

Sometimes you encounter things, landmarks, experiences, or people in life that force you to reflect and see things in a reflective light. I don't see what the beef is here. One of the few times I actually don't wanna slap him...

There's no way he actually wrote this, and slavery in America is only a very tiny sliver of the amount of worldwide slavery at the time.
