The referees cheat because many of the foul shots he takes, the person didn't even foul him.
“You can’t do nothing to D-Wade,” R. Wallace said “If you say ‘boogety-boogety booh’ to him, that’s a foul”
funny but true!

Wade is a big flopper, if anyone touches him when he drives in he falls and acts like hes hurt. Then when he does get up, he walks with a limp so that everybody can think hes hurt, and out of no where he starts playing good, then the announcers are all praising him for doing so good while hurt.
Kobe is doesn't get the calls his way like Wade, although in my opinion he should.

That's true. The reason why he get's the benefit of the doubt is the fact that he is on attack mode constantly. He has made a reputation of driving the lane and attacking the rim, and the refs give him the call. Sometimes he gets away with it and sometimes he doesn't it's the same thing with A.I., Kobe, LeBron, Arenas, etc these guys are known for the exact same thing. They don't get to the line by just shooting jump shots they get it by attacking the rim and the defender its just reputation. Sometimes the calls are ridiculous but you can't blame him or anyone else if the refs are calling the fouls. To Wallace's comment its funny but he has a bad reputation with the refs. Wallace is much softer these days than before when he was in Portland. He used to always post up and used that turn around jump shot or use his quickness to get to the rim. Now he just throws up 3-pointers and when he is in the post he draws contact but no call cause of his reputation with the refs and that hes not on the post as much anymore.

No way. The only reason people are all mad about this junk is because D-Wade is CONSTANTLY going into the paint only to get messed up by two or three guys. Thus, a foul is bound to happen. In case you forgot....they use to say it ALL THE TIME about Michael Jordan! (and now look what they say about him...he was the greatest...he was relentless...he dominated) I'm not saying that they're the same in any way...just that they do a lot of the same in style.

I don't fully agree with you. I think he gets fouled a lot because of his amazing body control and ability to draw a fould; however, he is an elite player. All elite players get shown favortism by the refs to some extent. So, yes, sometimes his foul shots are a fluke! lol, I like what R Wallace said, but you must take anything Sheed says with a grain of salt! He loves to talk ****!

I would not call his foul shots a sham, calculated yeah..... but not a sham. Sure he draws himself into it but his ability to manipulate his opponents into fouling him is not what makes him a good player. Players stage-manage the court all the time, positioning their selves to draw a charge that results in an offensive foul, fouling their opponents intentionally to save time on the clock. It's not cheating, just good ball playing. You can't hate on Wade cause he knows how to do his job. Manipulation is an unwritten part of all sports, you have to know how to call your opponents bluff......
