Judging by the countless professional photographs and edited montage videos that tend to come out of these productions nowadays, Dwyane Wade had a more expensive and corporate-sponsored birthday party than you this year. More »

Chris Bosh sat down with GQ's Mark Anthony Green this week for a "GQ&A." Some things we learned: Bosh's favorite book is The 33 Strategies of War, he has "probably" felt depressed before, and he thinks that Dwyane Wade is both a better dresser and better in the clutch than LeBron James. More »

Just about an hour ago, a Twitter handle @NBAOfficials went live, with a single Tweet: an explanation of why Dwyane Wade's gamewinning jump-stop-pivot jumper with 2.9 seconds left was right not to be whistled for a travel. The Tweet was a response to Hardwood Paroxysm's Rob Mahoney and ESPN's Tom Haberstroh, both of whom argued that the jump stop counted as a second step and should have been called. More »

The over-produced NBA team introduction video is an unfortunate but often hilarious fact of life now, and we may as well accept its extravagance and pyrotechnics as such. But not every team is the Miami Heat, and not every team's introduction video calls to mind the hip-hop super-group music video that you and your friends envisioned producing in the seventh grade. Let us now take a moment to reflect on and point out everything that is wrong with the Miami Heat's 2011-12 introduction video. More »

You may have read in yesterday's Shaq email dump, courtesy of the Miami New Times, that Shaq didn't want any part of actress Lauren London (pictured at right) because she was Dwyane Wade's girl. More »

Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade are all on board for this year's week-long Jordan Brand Flight Tour in China, during which the players will "introduce China specific editions of [Nike's] signature products that takes inspiration from the Chinese culture as well as the athlete's style of play." In other words, they will shoot a few baskets in shiny sneakers, pose with panda bears, and make somewhat earnest attempts at a Chinese opera mask dance. This is what global branding is all about.

We'll give Dwyane Wade credit for taking a more playful approach to the game than his teammate, but my god, these guys just won't lose! (Except for those times that they lost.) More »

From CBS Dallas, cameras caught James and Wade leaving their shootaround showing all signs of being sick with the flu. Or perhaps poking fun at Dirk's 102-degree fever in game 4. For the record, LeBron, Wade and Dirk all had excellent games last night. More »

Charles Barkley continued his righteous public crusade against all things Miami Heat today, when he spoke to the "Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. Nothing revolutionary here, just the special vindication that comes with hearing someone with a national audience say things that said audience has been saying to one another for the past eight months: "Yeah, they have the worst fans. No question." There it is. More »

In last night's post-game press conference, CBS Sports controversialist Gregg Doyel took the mic and asked LeBron James about his fourth quarter performances in the postseason. The fourth quarter, Doyel suggested, is when "superstars become superstars" (a confusing idea of evolution in itself), and James has been "shrinking" from that call. A few hours later, we saw exactly what narrative that question was intended to feed — Doyel's column, which is entitled "LeBron James: Story of an incredibly shrinking superstar." More »

The New York Times has a great video today that features some of the best crossover artists to ever play the game. One of the highlights is hearing Iverson, who just looks overjoyed to be talking about better times, reminisce about his famous '97 crossover against Michael Jordan — and that's layered with Dwyane Wade's memory of the move as a kid.

But according to CB Probasco, artist and season ticketholder, the sign was a big hit outside the arena. Suggested headline from Brett, another participant, was "FEED HER! Taj Gibson Certainly Did," but I didn't want to ruin this poster with that haunting imagery. Too late, I guess. More »

Via the NBA Photo Twitter feed, we present to you the posterization of Dwyane Wade (click here to see the full view), who is usually the one doing the posterizing. To his credit, Wade has been only complimentary and self-deprecating about the dunk that was seen 'round the American couches and barstools last night — Richard Deitsch reported earlier today that TNT's broadcast of Game 1 was "the most-viewed NBA game in the history of cable television," with 11.1 million viewers.

The Bulls beat the Heat by 21 points at home in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals this evening. Taj Gibson, who finished with nine points and seven boards off the bench for Chicago, had the two best dunks of the game. The first left Reggie Miller speechless, and presumably on top of Steve Kerr, and the second inspired him to quote Martin Luther King, Jr.: "Oh, my goodness," he said. "I have been to the mountaintop and back." More »

Rajon Rondo not know pain. Him not need elbow. Rondo shouldn't have planted his arm like that when Dwyane Wade landed a textbook reverse flying scissors trip, but maybe Rondo doesn't need that arm. It dangled limp at his side as he returned for the fourth quarter to play defense and distribute the ball. He's being lionized as a hero, which is obviously a bit much and also customary. Let's just agree that Rondo is one tough SOB. "It's no big deal," he said of his elbow after the game. "It's not an excuse." More »

LeBron James played one of the best games of his career last night, which is saying something, because he is LeBron James. He shot 56 percent from the field and finished with 35 points, seven boards, and zero turnovers. The Heat will go to Boston for Games 3 and 4 of this series, which should have some influence; the Celtics are 33-8 at the Garden this season. Still, both Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett haven't even broken 20 points in a game this series, while James and Dwyane Wade have combined for 123 of Miami's 201 total points, and they still have guys like James Jones coming off the bench to score 25. And forced somersaults, historically, don't do well for a team's self-esteem. The Heat are finally, at long last, rolling, and it's at a bad time for the addled C's. More »

Wade's vertical should be measured in Bibbys instead of inches here, throwing one down (way down) in the second quarter of last night's game against OKC. Are we bringing back the Cabbage Patch? Let's not bring back the Cabbage Patch. More »
