Man, doesn’t Philadelphia 76ers’ point guard Andre Miller look (and sound) like comedian Richard Pryor?

Dwayne Wade has been a shell of himself this season after the toll his knee and shoulder injuries from last season took on him. He looked like he tried to come back too quick, but this, along with Shaq’s 4-year itch and Riley’s roster failure combined to make the Heat the worst team in the league, a place they haven’t been since their expansion years. With Shaq gone and a playoff place requiring a miracle, you hoped that D Wade would just shut it down for this year. Well, it looks like it’s finally going to happen.
Heat coach Pat Riley announced Monday that Wade, the All-Star guard and 2006 NBA finals MVP who has battled left knee pain throughout the season, will not play in Miami’s final 21 games this year.
Coach Pat Riley told the Miami Herald that Wade will have a “stimulation treatment” on Tuesday.
“I think it’s time,” Riley told the paper. “We’ve been walking around on eggshells with this thing. This treatment will help him.”
The move was expected, although its timing — with so much of the season still to play — was mildly surprising. But Wade missed Miami’s game against the Golden State Warriors on Friday because of knee stiffness, telling Riley at the time that it pained him just to get out of bed.
Good - this season soooo needs a reboot. Who woulda thought this team would implode so quickly after winning the title 2 years ago. Pat Riley needs to hire a coach and concentrate on building the roster. And D Wade should think about skipping the Olympics too. Ask Yao Ming what year-round basketball does to your health.

D12 a.k.a. Superman at the Dunk Contest
YouTube - Dwight Howard Superman Dunk
Per Dr. Z:
back in 1968, bob beamon broke the work longjump record by almost two feet. defending gold medalist lynn davies said, “you have destroyed this event”. lynn davies was wrong. silver medalist klaus beer said, “the rest of us are children.” klaus beer was correct. once every generation of so, an athlete does something truly astounding. after watching dwight howard dunk on saturday night, we are all children, including the entirety of humanity.
so now it’s time for the youngster of america and the world to behold a new way of looking at dunking, and to model themselves to not only reach the unfathomable heights of dwight howard, but somehow, someday, to put together an even better set of four dunks. that’s right. dwight set the bar ridiculously high. and the goal is now to clear that bar, and to push even higher.
dunk was dead. dunk is back. long live dwight howard, the man who saved the dunk contest.
