Wade on Dirk:
After the Heat practiced Thursday at Quicken Loans Arena, Wade was asked if he believes players are ultimately remembered for what they do at the end of games.
Wade, who usually is selective and subtle with his criticisms of opposing players, took the opportunity to take a jab at Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki, who has failed to give the Heat credit for beating the Mavericks in the Finals last season.
''At the end of the day,'' Wade said, "you're remembered for what you did at the end... I think that's the reason -- Dirk says they gave us the championship last year, but he's the reason they lost the championship, because he wasn't the leader that he's supposed to be in the closing moments. That's because of great defense by us, but also he wasn't assertive enough as a leader's supposed to be.''

Cuban on Wade:
Say what ? Is this the DWade of some of the lamest , boring commercials known to man ? Commercials that are singlehandedly responsible for selling more commercial skipping Tivos than anything else on TV ? Dwayne I don't blame you for not looking at tapes of the finals. You obviously didn't. You would have seen your unbelievable skills and some other unbelievable elements that if I could discuss honestly here I would get fined for.
You are right, endings are remembered. And the ending of 3 of the games of the Finals will be remembered alongside Game 6 of the King vs Lakers Conf. Finals a few years ago.
I guess you have earned the right to criticize Dirk with an obvious display of your own leadership skills.
I know Shaq appreciates your leadership as well. He called out your team a few weeks ago saying it was "embarassing'. Great leadership DWade. Your coach sat players for being fat. I guess you couldnt lead them away from the buffet.
You are an amazing player Dwayne. I love watching you shoot free throws. What you know about Dirk's leadership skills is non existent. You don't have a clue. Your ability to evaluate leadership skills....well you obviously have an overinflated value of your own. Did you take business classes at Marquette ?
Now we know why Charles won't put you in his 5.
And Im pissed for one more reason. Im going to have to miss our next game against the Heat on Feb 22. A previous engagement. I guess its just a missed opportunity to bring a local business class to the game and try to let them interview you about your leadership skills.

LMAO @ Mark Cuban. Fuck it, fire David Stern and make Cuban the commissioner.
-
LMAO. Cuban is a funny guy. And a big "Fuck You" to Dywane Wade. He's talking a lot of trash for a guy whose's team doesn't even have a winning record.
-
Great post. Gives me one more reason to dislike Wade. Man, I hope Cuban buys the Cubs, he would turn that franchise around. Gotta love the jab about the free throws. Just another example of a professional athlete getting a big head.
-
Cuban is right tho. The Mavs got screwed just like the Kings in game 6 vs the Lakers
-
When wade,james and anthony all came out i was saying to people wade will be the best out of that group and nobody belived me.I us to be a fan of D-wade and up until the finals ive lost alot respect for Wade.The sad thing is Wade is not even at fault here its the fuckihng refs that are making to damn easy for Wade.Im Glad Cuban said some shit to him about the FT because that shit is way out of hand.
-
That's fucking hilarious. It wasn't their great defense, it was his great flopping skills and the biased officiating. Fuck Wade, Ginobli, and flopping in general.
-
Well, there is one way the Mavs can shut D-Wade up. And until that happens it is what it is.
-
if I ever see d wade, which I doubt, im a choke him, while yelling, "thats what youd do all day without the refs, nigga" in his face.
-
i admit i was so pissed about wade's crap that I couldnt hold it back, now that I finally got to read what cuban said, i gotta say that cuban is the fucking man.
-
LOL.. Mark Cuban is a G...
-
Well, there is one way the Mavs can shut D-Wade up.
pay off the refs?
-
Well, there is one way the Mavs can shut D-Wade up.
pay off the refs?
Ok, there is 2 ways.

Cuban is a the biggest attention whore the league has ever seen. Wade had every right to say what he said since it's bullshit that Nowitzki said that they gave the Heat the title.
Wade was right, Nowitzki should step up in critical situations or shut up.
-
LOL @ Mark Cuban, i'd be pissed if he was my teams owner, what an attention whore
-
Cuban is the shit, Wade is a fuckin bitch
