For some reason Dwyane Wade is bald now. I was wondering does anyone know why he went bald?

Because of the wear and tear of NBA basketball, and the beating his body took for more than 10 years now, I am giving him 2 to 3 years of playing basketball.\n\nTake note that his playing style has shown a very steep decline.  He is not the same Shaq as he was in his early years in LA.

I don't think they per se blew that pick with Darko, he just needed some time to develop.  I think the problem more lies with Larry Brown, as he's notorious for having zero patience with developing young talent (look at this year's Knicks, for chrissake!).  The Pistons are also a really deep team, so there's not much of a chance for anyone (except maybe for a player like LeBron) to show what they can do.  I honestly think Carmello Anthony or Dwayne Wade would also have been buried at the bottom of the lineup and wouldn't become breakout players until they went from Detroit to another team.

I am with you on the younger players.The NBA fan of today has the media to thank for hyping all the young guys in the NBA.Back in the day,You actually had to go to games to see the stars then as there was no such thing as ESPN,etc,etc.The younger generation get all jacked up over someone who can dunk a basketball,or score 81 points in a game,Big deal.What they dont get is that B-Ball is a TEAM Sport,not an individual one.All of the "Old School" guys had to pay their dues because they were'nt subject to the World Wide Media Frenzy we have today.I will say that in my opinion for what its worth that Oscar Robertson was the best all-around player ever.The man averaged a Triple-Double for his Entire career.Kobe in all his greatness,or self-appointed greatness as it were,Will never be the player of Oscars caliber.I know I'll probably hear it from Laker Fans,but Tell me how many Rings he has since Shaq Smartened up?Zero,and will be the same amount untill he gets the Team concept which will never happen.All for now,good question by the asker.

He probably had a larger 2nd growth spurt.  Males don't stop growing until their early to mid 20's.  So he just probably hit another growth spurt, which happened to be a big one.  And luckily he did, or he wouldn't be the greatest player as he is today.

I used to like the Lakers when Shaq was there because he and Kobe made a dynamic pair.  But since Shaq was traded to the Miami Heat, guess what, I'm a Miami Heat fan.  Since the trade, Kobe has become very arrogant towards everybody especially when he was interviewed regarding the incident with Ball in the Phoenix Suns.  Kobe was calling him a kid and said and I quote, "Maybe he didn't get hugs as a child", unquote.  He must remember, the "kid" is older than he is.  Grow up Kobe!

BREAKING NEWS \n\n\nNEW YORK -- The Boston Celtics acquired second-year Portland Trail Blazers point guard Sebastian Telfair for the No. 7 pick in Wednesday's NBA draft, as well as one or two other players, multiple sources told ESPN.com.\n\n\n \n\nThe trade was agreed upon Wednesday afternoon but it came after the 2 p.m. ET deadline which means the Celtics will still be on the clock, selecting for the Blazers, when the No. 7 pick comes up during the draft.\n\nPortland will pick at No. 4 and No. 7, barring any more trades.\n\nOne of the players from the Celtics could be injured point Dan Dickau (Achilles), but that wasn't confirmed as of Wednesday.\n\nBoston has been searching for a true point guard and wasn't overwhelmed by the choices that it may have at No. 7. The Celtics worked out Connecticut's Marcus Williams, Kentucky's Rajon Rondo and Villanova's Randy Foye on Monday. All three could be available at No. 7. But the Celtics brass decided that Telfair, two years into the league, was better suited for the Celtics' system at this juncture in his career.\n\nDanny Ainge, the director of basketball operations, looked at Telfair's first eight games -- 12.6 points, shooting 45.7 percent, 42.3 percent on 3s as well as four assists a game -- as the indicator of his ability. Telfair hurt his thumb after that and was out for an extended period of time. He lost the starting point guard position during his absence to Steve Blake and Jarrett Jack. He finished averaging 9.5 points, 3.6 assists and shot 39.4 percent in 68 games. Telfair was the No. 13 pick for the Blazers in 2004 out of Lincoln High in New York.\n\nIn his two years he averaged a combined 8.1 points, 3.5 assists and shot 39.4 percent.\n\nThis deal allows the Celtics to play Delonte West more as an off guard with Telfair as a natural point. \n\nThis trade won't deter the Celtics from still pursuing Philadelphia's Allen Iverson in a summer deal that is still very much alive with a third team still to be determined.

It was the right move. Kobe and Shaq could not get along. Odom will be a great player if he starts shooting more. Kwame might start to show why he was the number one pick. Yes, the heat got the better end of the deal, but for the time... it was a great move

He won 2 dunk contests - 1993 and 1995. He was a good shooter but never really got defense or really fell into the proper mindset to play good NBA ball. He mostly rode bench and even though he was a popular player, Miami Traded him at the end of the 94/95 season to Cleveland because he wasn't accomplishing what they'd expected. He was waived at the end of that season, then tried out for but was cut from the Raptors. \n\nNo one really knows where he is now.

Not getting enough action in the bedroom (the public eye has taken away his extracurricular activities)!  His mind is elsewhere!!\n\n\nPlus, he is NOWHERE close to having the talent of Jordan.

Dallas has good defense although I don't think its fair that they double and triple team Shaq not to mention the intentional fouls just cause they know he's not that good at free throws. I feel its kinda like cheating. Anyway there is no stoping Wade. Miami Heat Fan All The Waaaaaaay.

I would meet Dwyane Wade...he is one of the best players in the league..he not only has determination but he has drive and skillz that will lead the Miami Heat to Victory..he is one of my inspirations to playing basketball along with some other talented Players!! He has only been in the NBA a little while now but he has clearly proved that he will be a player that will be remembered decades to come!! Oh yeh and of course who can deny his good looks?? lol....!!

The Lakers are gonna be a long way from another championship if Kobe keeps on his attitude. He was fine for the first few games of the Phoenix Lakers series but dissapearing in game 7? He purposely did that. Probably someone said something that upset him so he decided to just let them lose. Plus even though he has 3 rings already don't you think that Wade is going to surpass that? I mean Wade's potential is unlimited. He's unstoppable and he's only in his third year. Think how good he could be in a few more years. Wade has a bright future filled with nba championships while Kobe's future is fading slowly but surely.

I think Gary Payton should shut the heck up. It's Wade's team.  Payton's not the leader like he was in Seattle, even though he thinks he is.

there is no way u take Paul over wade....what has Paul done in his life? yes he is on a bad team but he still isn't that great, he is good but not great, wade is great. he has already got a ring and is a leader on the court, he took the heat (who were not supposed 2 win the finals) all the way there and when they were down 2 games he took over and killed the mavs (cough*i hate the mavs *cough) wade has a long time left and will just keep getting more and more experienced and better

I agree with the first post that his inconsistency has been a huge downfall of his.  But he has the potential of being a great scorer along the lines of Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Redd (in the future).  He's only in his third year, so I'd expect him to get much better, along with Kirk Hinrich too.
