Wilbon Swoons Over Wade
Of course I went to bed at halftime last night, just before Dallas took a 13-point lead and Dwyane Wade went nuts to make this championship series a series. And of course I live in DC, so my morning print opinion comes courtesy of one Michael Wilbon, who is breathless in South Beach...
"You can have LeBron James. You can have Kobe Bryant. You can have any pick on the playground . . . anybody from here to China. Just let me have Dwyane Wade."
I agree with that, but that's because I'm a fan, a fan who doesn't like LeBron and Kobe, but would Wilbon really take Wade over those guys? Or is it just that he's fresh off of witnessing a 42-point, series-saving performance by a young star? Seriously, if you could start a team with any one of those guys, what would be the draft order? Objectively, I'd go LeBron, Kobe, Wade. Subjectively, Wade, LeBron, Kobe.
Either which way, the NBA is dope right now. Its two biggest stars went home in the first round, its most dominant player of the past five years (Duncan) got bounced two rounds ago and the two-time reigning MVP is probably dancing with Brazilian women in Germany as I type, but the Association can still trot D-Wade, Dirk, Shaq and even Cuban's slightly horrifying presence out there for the Finals. Fantastic.

I stopped watching the NBA when it became a joke letting people walk and double tribble and the requirements to be in the NBA required at least 2 felonies. But after watching the officials on the last 5 minutes of the game its obvious the series wilkl go to 7 games so everyone can make their money
