<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Dwyane Wade is an interesting combination of humble and prideful, a polite assassin. He has just the right touch, near the basket or in the nightclub, and it is why NBA commissioner David Stern says he wishes he could bottle Wade's grace and sprinkle it all over his entire league. Wade doesn't say anything controversial and handles himself with dignity, but he doesn't like limits, and you can hear his pride leak out with an uncharacteristic hiss when asked about his inability to make three-pointers. ''That crap,'' he calls it. Wade dropped three after three after three in a breathtaking burst in Wednesday's first quarter, traveling to that magical place athletes refer to as ''the zone'' and Wade refers to as ``the matrix.'' It is where crowd noise and inner confidence merge to lift an athlete above everyone, basket expanding, opponent shrinking, and Wade named it the matrix after the Keanu Reeves sci-fi movie in which Neo discovers he is The Chosen One. Neo had a superhuman ability to dodge bullets and save the world, once he believed he could do it. Wade, a bulletproof, gravity-defying sci-fi character in his own right, merely saved a season.</div> Source
Well, when the comiss does find a way to bottle that cool mentality, let me say that I will be the first one in line for that one at the local supermarket. Confidence and mentality sets players apart which is apparent in Wade's showstopping performances. I really like Wade. He's classy, yet still a showman. He let's his playing speak for itself. I think Kobe should take a page out his book in the class department.
