... you have to be joking.

He is, it's supposed to be a refs jersey because Wade gets all the calls all the time.

In every forum I've been to, there's a thread exactly like this.

Where's the Cavs, Lakers and Wizards alternate jerseys at? :roll:

LAkers don't get as many calls as the Cavs and the Wizards!!!

He's saying Kobe, not the whole team.

If you want to try to justify that with one link, I found this one to be far more blatant, and much more important.

haha, gold.

Though, the Heat have had pretty bad tastes in colors and jerseys before, wouldn't be suprised if they pull something like this.

by **dada** on Thu Jan 11, 2007 12:50 pm

Yea, that pink crap had me shitting for days.

by **BigKaboom2** on Thu Jan 11, 2007 4:16 pm

Case in point. :shock:

EDIT: Wow....I completely missed cklitsie's post.

by **Matt** on Thu Jan 11, 2007 6:18 pm

it's undisputed that Wade gets the most BS calls.

by **_marsal** on Thu Jan 11, 2007 6:57 pm

It's not like it's his fault :roll:

You can't be angry with him, you should be with the referees :wink:

by **J@3** on Thu Jan 11, 2007 7:13 pm

Yeah, it's not like Wade falls down and rolls along the ground like he's been shot by a cannon everytime someone stands within 3 feet of him.

Wait...

by **_marsal** on Thu Jan 11, 2007 7:33 pm

Well that makes him a genious, if he can fool the referees that much. I doubt that you wouldnt' take advantage, if you were in his shoes..If he can score 10 points more like this, of course he'll throw himself around (which btw doesn't happen all THAT much). :roll:

I really don't see how this is not the fault of referees.

by **cklitsie** on Thu Jan 11, 2007 8:24 pm

He doesn't 'fool' the refs, he just knows he's gonna get every call he wants.
It doesn't really matter whether he does it 2 times a game or 20, it just messes up the whole purpose of the game.

Lebron does get questionable calls too, but a lot less than Wade. And Kobe even less than both of them.

(Refering to videos of traveling vioaltion) Well, the problem with the NBA travelling violation is that it's just weird. In Euroleague, everybody knows that before you make a step, you MUST bounce the ball (there are cases where it's unnecessary - like if you're already running towards the basket and you receive the ball and want to lay it up/dunk, etc. (well you know what i'm saying :wink:

)). In NBA they just don't call it. I once saw Steve Francis make 4 or 5 steps before dunking it. It's just weird.

by **Matt** on Fri Jan 12, 2007 1:59 am

there's also the no calls on the carry's the Wade does nearly everytime he splits the pick & roll

No fucking way.

I can understand why the refs don't call anything, though. It would really make LeBron look bad if he was called for travelling on that play where he made a steal and going for a fastbreak dunk. If the refs called it, it would maintain their integrity, but it would make LeBron look bad and disappoint a crowd-pleasing dunk.

by **Jing** on Fri Jan 12, 2007 4:37 am

Wow...

When I saw that first Wade one I was like, how the hell do you not see that?! Both referees were staring right at Wade... The second Wade one wasn't that impressive :lol:

... the LeBron one was amazing.. he just took off running 2 steps before starting his dribble, I just couldn't help but laugh at that one... WOW....

Talk about star treatment. It also looks like in the second one Wade stepped out of bounds while establishing his pivot foot.

NBA is a business, they gotta give some leeway to these young kids in order to keep fans happy and impressed so they can buy merchandise and continue to come to the games. It really does sort of suck to see some of those moves they doing to get away though, but its business.

by **Shi** on Fri Jan 12, 2007 6:36 am

Is that,like,for real? Are they REALLY gonna wear that?
Well... looks nice,liked the questionable calls refferance.

Oh right,the Heat already have an Alt. Jersey,+the black one with the stripes+the Retro ones,when'll they use this one? during home games?
