You don't get it. First of all, you don't disrespect people that did nothing to you, and second, he's taking a shot at that franchise as well with that quote and Riley.
We sent him to a great situation, Arison and Riley kept it professional, everything and that trade went smoothly. Talk about letting things go; we have yet to mention his name in a negative manner and he goes on and badmouth's these very limited skilled players that has not quit on our team, unlike him.
You respect him that suddenly he is playing hard on his new team, that suddenly his hip felt better after the trade? The Phoenix doctors were not even looking at his hip when traded, he was just getting in shape on their conditions. As he couldn't have in Miami, because he failed or better yet, was unwilling to get in the right conditions with the Heat medical staff, one of the best in the world, a staff that is going to be on the US Olympic team.
What makes me want to puke is how much he overrates himself about how he brings titles. Hell, he may have been the MVP for the Lakers, but there were a TON of other reasons why the Lakers were that good, especially including having a player like Kobe Bryant. You don't see Wade flexing his muscle on the media, telling everyone he's the reason why Miami has a championship.
Shaq, you brought us legitimacy and the media, you didn't bring us a title. Wade ultimately did and was the reason, and you were nothing but a role player in that Finals. Sure you had your little moments, like making clutch free throws, but every other roleplayer did too: Gary Payton clutch shot, Alonzo's block shots, Antoine Walker James Posey and Jason Williams dropping threes over and over and over again, Shanon Anderson's defense. I mean, they had as big of a role as Shaq did on that Finals.
But in the end, it was all on Wade. If Wade didn't explode like he did on that fourth quarter on game 3, and that entire series [being second all time in scoring in Finals history], you wouldn't even have a 4th ring.
In that series, and well, your 3 and a half seasons [if you count this season as half since you didn't even show up, and well all the games he's missed as a Heat player] in Miami you were just another member of the Justice league and Wade was Superman. Hell, you weren't even Flash, you were Wonder Woman.
BTW, that tic tac toe quote was really lame.
