Dirk Nowitzki must live rent free in Dwyane Wade’s subconscious. In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Wade took what was most certainly a parting shot at Dirk:
Wade wasn’t interested in playing “15 minutes a game and not [making] an impact. I don’t want to be the guy to sit on the bench and the fans always have to chant, ‘We want Wade.’ ”
Of course, it’s hard to tell if the words were pulled out of context (my take: they weren’t) in this sprawling, overly long love letter to a guy in Wade who continually downplays the attention he so clearly needs to validate his career.
