Championship or nothing.
Vertical Limit said:Yeah, so uncontrollably that he averaged 34 points per game in the Finals, which ties for 2nd best in league history.
Living on the free throw line. Did you watch the finals?

MikeO said:Roger Federer has had the best year of any tennis player EVER!!! Hear that, EVER!!!! Even McEnroe said so and Johnny Mac never gives anyone any credit.
And if you don't want to go Federer, fine. I can still name about 10 other people over Wade.
The kid with autism in Rochester, NY who hit 6 three pointers in a high school game. George Mason as a team. Tony LaRussa!! I would even give it to the horse who won the Derby, then broke its leg and has survived! Tiger Woods!!! The San Francisco writers who exposed the Balco and the grand jury stuff who might go to jail over it!!!!!!! Paul Tagliabue in his final year as NFL Commish and where he has taken that sport and built it up.
Wade had a nice year........but it wasn't anything to warrant Sportsman of the Year by any means.
Bottom line........SI is teamed with CNN on many projects (website being the largest) . CNN is owend by Turner Inc.. Turner owns TNT. TNT has NBA games. Follow the food chain!!!

Same could have been said about Michael Jordan. What's his response to that? Oh that's right, "So?".Amars said:Living on the free throw line. Did you watch the finals?
Amars said:Hey man nobody mad here. That fact is we can come here and voice our opinion whether you like or not. You must be some kinda of communist to think we cant. The only one that seems mad and emotional is you. If you think Im a heats hater go right ahead but Ive never said I hate the heats. The only thing I said is shaq is over the hill but still effective and that dwade is good top 3 guard in the league but hes not greatness. If that makes me a HEATS haters then I guess I am. Greatness doesnt happen in 3 season. Jordan is Greatness constantly double team in the playoffs and finals, Shaq is Greatness for the same reason. Both Unstopable even when double and proved it time and time again. I wouldnt even call Kobe greatness but he has the talent to get there. You take away those double team on shaq and you have a different results in the finals. Even though shaq is not the shaq of old he still require a double team especially in the playoffs because of his greatness.
UCFinfan86 said:Your opinion of greatness just differs from others, you save the word for truly greats, which probably it should be, as alot of times words such a best ever and such get thrown around to loosely.
MikeO said:One theory starting to come out is that the ONLY reason Wade was picked was because he can show up for BOTH SI ceremonies that come with winning the award. Because SI needs to keep the sponsors happy and so on and so forth.
The guy who made the pick was interviewed today on a NYC radio station.

Listen to it there. The guy from SI comes off like very bad. So bad that at one point he gets upset of the spelling of his own name on the TV show (simulcast TV/radio). Only to find out that they got the spelling of his name from his website and his own website has his own name spelled wrong.
He tries about 10 defenses for the pick, they all fail and are shot down!!!
UCFinfan86 said:The fact of the matter is right now wade is the best player in the league right now, hes a star player coming off a championship team. Until LeBron or Kobe gets another title or comes close Wade should be labeled the best.
Also why would they give it to a tennis player? Not alot of people in America follow Tennis, let alone a foregin tennis player.
Now if they wanted to give the award to Peyton Manning Manning, LaDanian Tomlinson, Albert Pujos or someone like that fine. I wouldn't even have complained if it was Kobe or LeBron, but Wade has his own arguments over them as well
