Hey Wreckless, Guess who didn't shake hands today after losing game 7?????????-LOL

[TVFactFan]

DWAYNE WADE, LOL My new buddy, just strolled off the court after the buzzer and went in the locker room.


Now that's how you leave a buillding when you lose a playoff Series

[Big C]

You think that's a good thing?

FSU, I'm going to say this again. If you are a fan of a team who just lost a BIG GAME and your team is eliminated you don't want to see the players smiling and chatting it up on the court and shaking hands because it gives the game a STAGED LOOK


like the players already knew the outcome and that's why they don't look mad

So showing poor sportsmanship is a good thing in your eyes?

But why does it have to be called anything? A man doesn't have the right to just leave off the court with his teammates after a tough loss? I would think poor sportsmanship is if a Hawks player EXTENDED their hand for Wade to shake it and then he just walked pass and blew him off.


Walking off the court and going to the locker room is called LEAVING

[GARFIELDKOOL]

Solomon, you are an example of a poor sport. That's right, I said it!

[Wreckless]

I'm surprised to hear that. I know Wade is upset and shows his emotions, but I thought he would at least show sportsmanship and shake hands. I wouldn't be mad if he didn't shake hands with Josh Smith who dunked the ball meaninglessly in Game 5, but everybody else, and standing with his teammates- their should be a level of respect & class their...if he came back out and shaked hands, i would even be fine with that. I know he was upset and needed to cool down and get ahold of himself, but Dwayne Wade is a great player, a classy guy in general and the star of the Heat- so he needs to represent his team much better. At least my prediction fell through lol. I had the Hawks winning the series in 7, but it was a good series. Not as good as the Bulls-Celtics one, but then again, it's hard to match the intensity shown in that series but a good series. Congrats to Atlanta.

Yeah I was surprised too but it doesn't mean anything but he left and he going to the showers. Now if a Hawks player had extended their arm out and he walked past then I would say that's bad sportsmanship.



Hey wreckless not sure if you remember this but back in the 2001 Finals, when the 76ers lost gane 5, after the game was over Iverson left the court and was 1 min from the showers and Derek Fisher ran after him and made sure he shook his hand_LOL

no i don't remember that lol- that's pretty funny though....that was the clinching win too for LA. do you think fish was trying to be an a$$hole their after winning it all in the decisive win, or just lookin for him to shake hands as a good person? I would say he was showing good sportsmanship; making sure to shake hands with the star & best player of the opponent- but it's possible he could be doing a little bit of showboating as well, it happens but that's an interesting story.

and yeah i agree, but I wonder what wade said on the post-game conferences, when he was on the mic? I still would of liked to see him shake his hand, even if he was sad, mad, depressed, upset & disappointed- ya know?

Not sure, because Allen Iverson was basically a inch away from being in the lockeroom and for Fisher to be so agressive in running after iverson to shake his later looked like Showboating. I would have probaby SWUNG on him if I was Iverson like-"Get the F*Ck out my face" LOL

i agree- it seems to be an action intended to bother or annoy somebody purposely lol- and to rub their face in it.

and that sucks..i twas like 2 days, maybe 3 before they replied to me...so give it another day or so lol.

You can be pissed off and still show sportsmanship. I always liked Dwyane Wade. I always thought he was better than that. When the Pistons beat the Cavs in '06, I ripped LeBron for doing the same thing. No one cares about sportsmanship anymore.

Lebron did it in 2006 and 2007. I see nothing wrong with it. How come you can't say congrats at a later time when you are feeling better? Like a phone call in 2 days???
