Chuck is certainly well within his right as a color commentator. And, this is largely true. The real problem is that Wade doesn't have a jumpshot. I wouldn't bet a nickle on his ability to hit an open 15 footer. The HEAT are 17-1 over the last two seasons with DWade on the bench. That's a FACT and not an opinion. Pretty harsh fact too. Let's first see if Wade want's to show up against teams like the Clips and the Grizz before we celebrate his efforts against NO and the Hawks.

Charles Barkley seems to have a personal vendetta against D.Wade. I believe he is very jealous of D.Wade, the man has a beautiful black movie star girlfriend, multi-millions of dollars, endorsements, championship rings, scoring titles, olympic medals, finals mvp, a super-car given to him by the city of miami worth $250,000 and the potential to win more championships and to make a lot more money. The only thing Chuck got was a $5 Buck Box from Taco Bell and a gambling debt that he is still probably paying off.

yes dwade has his "stellar moments" last few games...but will you still think that he can do it all year round? what do you expect in 30 year old player...he is already struggling on his offense..he is not the flash anymore..dont get me wrong but chuck is right...

It's not a matter of who is right and who is wrong in this instance. Barkley's comments ignited something in LeBron because its true. Barkley is doing is job as an analyst. He is correct in his assessment. LeBron is also correct in that as of late Wade is playing much more like his old self. However he does have to work back from injuries and surgery; he has to realize that he will not be the same player he once was. No one is the same player from their 20's when they hit the 30's. Their game much like the character has to develop and mature. It can either be better for him like MJ and more recently Jason Kidd where they developed the jump shots later in their career and though not able to get to the spots physically can create the plays because of their basketball IQ. Or it can be worse for him if he just relies on his physical play to get him through. Only time will tell. I would bet on him making the adjustments and coming back to form.

the word choice for both choices are weird at best. it seemed bias to make choosing dwade's wonderful play the past few games make you sound like a bandwagon heat fan. the barkley choice seems so calm too, when barkley was kinda being rough on wade. honestly, i feel that wade is getting old, and he's extending his game with jumpshots, but he's taking too many unnecessary fades, and he's forcing it. he can be better. why doesn't he play off how athletic he is currently, like vince carter, who is STILL ripping it a ripe age of 35.

how is chuck talking about anyone with rings? He don't know the heart of a champion, chuck did his thing, but not to this level. Wade still have about 3 or 4 years left as a good player, and still is one of the best NBA guards in the game today.
