<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (nykfan4life @ Jan 17 2007, 02:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I'm sick of hearing how wade gets all these calls like he's the only player who does. lebron travels all the time and carries the ball, kobe even carries the ball sometimes and gilbert arenas too who also gets a significant amount of foul calls. just because they get a lot of foul calls doesn't mean that they always get calls. officials make mistakes, they're human.</div>But you see, Lebron and kobe don't get those cheap perimeter touch fouls anymore. The first touch foul I recall kobe getting happened in ot yesterday. That was after he was hounded and hounder during the game. Everyone says we aint the handcheck era. But kobe is consistently handchecked by his defender. When you get those cheap perimeter fouls, defense softens up and allow more penertration.Lebron also, he gets away with travelling but so is wade. But I have yet to see someone get those touch fouls like wade.

If you blame anyone you should blame the refs for giving him the calls not for wade getting them, I mean he can't control what the refs call, I'm a heat fan and I'll admit that wade gets a lot of calls but if anyone of us were in the same situation we woulden't be complaining about getting the calls.

You always say all these things about Wade (Refs love him, D-Foul, Fundamentally weak...). Really, what makes you think Kobe Bryant is any different. Really, Wade and Kobe are similar players, just Wade is way more likable.</div>Wade's jumper doesn't come close to Kobe's..Kobe can pull up from anywhere on the floor and knock it down.Wade is overrated. His jumper is overrated. And the NBA is protecting it's best players, just like the NFL does with the QB's. Refs give Wade the benefit of the doubt every time.
Wade is overrated to a degree. He relies way too much on pick and roll. In fact, Alonzo Mourning and Michael Doleac deserve at least half the credit when Wade has big games, because they are the ones setting those picks. His one on one game CAN'T TOUCH Kobe's anyday of the week. And those calls...JESUS! Defenders aren't allowed to look at him, hell, breathing on him is a flagrant 2 these days. I don't get it.
