Dywane Wade is Awesome

D-Wade and LeBron squared off for the last time in Wade's career last night. It was both epic and magical, much like Wade's career. So let's honor the third greatest shooting guard of all time with some of his insane career highlights.
 















My personal favorite Wade moment was his epic run during the 2006 NBA Finals. I remember being in absolute awe as a youngster, as he single handedly dragged the Heat to victory against a superior Dallas Mavericks team.

The Unwritten NBA Rules

Basketball fans will likely have a pretty thorough understanding of the rules of the game, or at the very least a tacit understanding of how the game is played. However, there are some "rules" exclusive to the NBA game that are not in the actual rulebook. These are what I like to call the unwritten rules of the game, they are aspects of the sport that are implicitly understood but never explicitly referenced or officiated. You may even hear some of them brought up in a broadcast. So without further adieu, I present five of the key unwritten rules of the game. This list is not comprehensive and I reserve the right to change and amend it at a later date. THE UNWRITTEN NBA RULES  Rule #1 Superstars Get Star Treatment:  NBA superstars like LeBron James, James Harden, Kevin Durant, and so on receive calls that would not be afforded to lesser role players. The NBA is a star driven league and the stars get foul calls that your day-to-day role player doesn't. At this point y

Reflecting on LeBron's Move to LA

Image
LeBron's move to LA signified the end of his chapter in Cleveland, and now that we've seen a little of the King in the purple in gold I'm glad he took the plunge. The NBA is better when its marquee franchises are better. And make no mistake, the Lakers are the marquee franchise. While they probably aren't true title contenders this year, the possibilities of this new look Laker team are super exciting. For one we will hopefully get to see another great Bay Area-Los Angeles rivalry take shape. The Warriors and Lakers have played in the same division for a long time but their games have never captured the hearts of the respective fanbases the way Dodgers vs. Giants has over the years. Now it might be able to if the Warriors dominance and Lakers ascendence can meet somewhere in the middle. There is already some tension there considering LeBron has lost three of his last four finals appearances to the boys in the Bay. Also, what if Durant signs with the Lakers, and Cousin
