Miami Heat NBA Champs (Dwayne Wade)


Last Night I watched a bit of the game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Miami Heat. Dallas looked great in the first quarter and appeared to be ready to force a seventh game. Then this guy takes over, again. I have watched few interviews with Dwayne Wade and he never seems arrogant or pretentious on camera. Likewise he does not play selfishly allowing other players with the open look to shoot rather than forcing his game. I was really impressed watching him play and can certainly see why he is so highly touted. He averaged 40 points during the playoffs and contributed greatly in the rebounding department. Needless to say I was very impressed with him and his game.
Wade is also among the American Christian adults who tithe, according to the Sun Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Wade gave 10% of his $2.6 million salary this season to the Blood Water & the Spirit Ministry on South Prairie Avenue on Chicago's southside. Wade was a tither before he started playing in the NBA.
I think that's cool too. All of this from a 6'4" 212 lb player, well under the NBA average of 6'7". Congratulations to the Miami Heat on their first NBA Championship.
