• Nobody Said Dwyane Wade Is A Cheater

  Did you hear? Did you hear? Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy called Dwyane Wade a "cheater"! Well, not exactly. At all. But somehow what Dunleavy said about Wade to someone a thousand miles away traveled through cyberspace and wound up on Sun-Sentinel baskethack Ira Winderman's keyboard as "cheater," with the quote marks and all. It says it all in the headline over Winderman's story, which is now prominently (and irresponsibly) displayed on the newspaper's website: "Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy im

• Pay To Play

  Not to look a gift horse in the mouth or anything, but wouldn't it have been great if Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade had inked a $75,000 check for the J.P. Taravella High School Marching Trojans? "Absolutely," says Debbie Rabinowitz, the band president and mother of a trombone-playing sophomore named Brian.  Still, she says the $10,000 contribution is more than welcome, as is the $6,000 in autographed Heat memorabilia Wade tossed in for good measure. For the 172-member band, i

• Dwyane Wade Misses Game-Saving Shot, But, You Know, It's Cool

  As the clock struck zero last night, alas, Dwyane Wade was not a hero. Judging by the expression on his face right after his three-pointer bounced off the rim to end the 93-90 loss to Detroit, D-Wade knew he let a close one get away (or a piece of ice just slipped into an uncomfortable crevice). But whatev. It's cool. This can be forgiven. Wade has led the Heat back into the playoff picture this year and placed himself on the short list of MVP candidates. And with the re

• Heat-Bulls Tilt a Mere Undercard to Cheerleader Dance-Off

  Sports IllustratedShanon LerschYou don't really have to beat the Chicago Bulls. Just let them stand at the perimeter and launch low-percentage shots or make impossible passes. If that doesn't work, just wait. Eventually, their imbecile coach -- named Vinny of the Black -- will summon from the bench an Argentine madman named Andres Nocioni. The Bulls tend to beat themselves. I know this because I'm a Bulls fan. Always have been -- even for this past grueling decade that has followed Jordan's

• Lil Wayne Wears a Lil Wade, Aids in Heat Win

  It is officially a fashion trend. Since he took a Juwan Howard elbow to the face earlier this month and needed six stitches, the ever-stylish Dwyane Wade has been brandishing a series of personalized Band-Aid-like adhesive bandages (not to be confused with Band-Aids, pictured here) under his left eye. Soon, the creepy Miami Heat mascot, Burnie, followed suit, wearing a similar bandage under his eye. Last night, Lil Wayne got in on the action. He showed up courtside wearing a red adhes

  eBay.comThe first time came at the end of the first half. Then again to tie the game at the end of regulation. Then, after he stole the ball from John Salmons with three seconds left in the second overtime, Wade hit a running three as time expired to give "El Heat" a 130-127 win over the Chicago Bulls. He's been on fire lately all season, and though there are people who will tell you LeBron's and Kobe's teams both have better records, nobody can argue those two are playing better than D-W

• Educators Say D-Wade Dropped the Ball

  A South Florida charter school company says that Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade has failed to live up to his end of the deal to promote education to at-risk youth, and this afternoon it formally ended its association with him. The company, called Mavericks in Education and based in Fort Lauderdale, struck a partnership with Wade in 2007. Back then, Mavericks President and CEO Mark Thimmig was elated to land a superstar spokesman: "Kids related to him. Parents related to him. Even grandparents relat

Also: Dwyane Wade would miss the game against the Celtics. Let's get one thin

• Dwyane "Mother Teresa" Wade Connects with a Sick 8-Year-Old

  The Heat crushed the Grizzlies at home last night, 94-82. And Dwyane Wade dropped 27 to break his own franchise single-season scoring record. The Heat started on an 11-0 run and never trailed O.J. Mayo and his Memphis crew. The real excitement came after the game though, when D-Wade gave his jersey to Michael Stolzenberg, an 8-year-old boy bitten by a bug last year. The resulting bacterial infection was so drastic, doctors had to remove the Michael's hands and feet. "He lights you up, the s

• D-Wade and Heat Have "One of Those Nights"

  Some important background on last night's Heat game:  Before last night, Dwyane Wade had never beaten the Indiana Pacers in Conseco Fieldhouse. After last night, same deal. But it was close: 90-88. Wade had the second-worst shooting game of his career; it included missing the final shot of the game... barely. The long-distance three seemed to go in, then back out, before it bounced harmlessly away from the basket. After the game, Wade told reporters, "It's just one of those nights, ma

• Heat Lose in Wade's Home Town

  The last time the Heat played the Chicago Bulls, Dwyane Wade was on fire. Miami was in the middle of a streak in which the team won five of six earlier this month. Two weeks later, so much has changed. Wade -- and, by extension, the entire team -- has been struggling to put up the same kind of unrealistic numbers he's been piling high since the season started. The result: The Heat had lost four of its last six. Last night, the team had the chance to right the ship against the surging y

During an extended half-time, a few dozen chairs and a podium were set up in the middle of the court and the world played "This is Your Life" with Alonzo Mourning. A spectacular list of speakers (from Patrick Ewing to Charlie Crist) gave their thoughts on what Zo has meant to South Florida, both on the court and as a symbol of perseverance in the

As Dwyane Wade set his feet for the three that would have given the Heat the win over Dallas, the defender clearly slapped Wade's wrist. Wade even dropped the ball for a moment before the shot.

I couldn't have described the end of last night's Heat overtime loss to New Orleans any better. Well, yeah, I could have. (I type pretty sometimes.) But I don't care to.

  The last time the Atlanta Hawks had won a playoff game on the road, Dwyane Wade was 15 years old. He hadn't thought about Marquette, the Final Four, the NBA Finals, MVPs, or STDs. But last night, Miami was about as intimidating as Jeff Goldblum was in the 1997 smash Jurassic Park 2 -- which is to say, not at all intimidating. Wade was hurting all night (he went 9-for-26 from the field), and Jamario Moon didn't play at all. The Heat had a great 19-2 run before halftime but never led in the 8

    If you're anything like me, you turned off last night's playoff game at halftime. The Hawks already had a 23-point lead and Dwyane Wade probably had a concussion. Plus, Lost was on. I didn't even want to see the results. I figured if John Locke can somehow summon the power of the polar bear/time traveling/smoke monster Island to heal his nearly fatal wounds and fight over and over, maybe Wade (arguably the Heat's version of Locke, Sawyer, Kate, Jack, and the smoke monster combined) c

• Heat Gonna Burn Some Hawks

  Last night's game in Atlanta was one that makes any real basketball fan more intense and creates rivalries. Why? Well, a big part of it was that Atlanta proved itself to be a classless town. The crowd booing Dwyane Wade when he got up after banging his head on the floor after Josh Smith body-blocked him (yeah, it was intentional, though not dirty) was one of the worst examples of mass poor sportsmanship ever witnessed.  Then some scrub on Atlanta got in Wade's face
