Dwyane Wade shouldn’t be losing. It’s unthinkable. Where can we send him? Who can we bring to his aid?

Dwyane Wade is inverted contrast. He explodes off the move yet finishes in slow motion; he fakes his right wrist left before going to his right.

Dwyane Wade will breeze to the hoop before laying it in underhanded. Sometimes he takes a giant step before turning his body, scooping it in off the left side of the glass with his right hand. Always a pause on that step. He finishes in slow motion.

Other guards cross over by extending the ball outward in the arm that is holding it and then switching to the other hand. Wade contrasts this, either turning his right wrist left before going right, or turning it right, and then extending it across his body to go left.

Contrast. We’re not used to seeing it that way -- that’s why it’s so damn appealing.

More than any of the league’s other young stars, Wade is running out of time. His body can’t allow him to continue like this. We want to see him in Chicago with Rose. We want to see him return to Miami, but with James. We just want to see him succeed. We can’t tolerate such a plight – not for Dwyane Wade. It shouldn’t happen.
